Adding an aftermarket amplifier and subwoofers - plug and play

Hello Everybody,
thank you for this perfect manual. I upgraded in a similiar way with an Audison Srx4! Sound really good now, beside a major problem at low volume.
I hear whistle-sounds from the generator with increasing upm! U had problems like that?
If I remove from the amp the cinch Input the whistling disappears, so the annoying sound should origin from this cable...
I read somewhere it may help to connect the earthline of the cinchcable to the cars earth, could this be true without damaging the amp?
Thanks in advance

got a solution. Even if the HU allready cross-over the signal I now use the Low-Pass Filter of the amp. Maybe not the most prof. solution but sounds worlds better now.
Other Question: If i would install one of those PnP Amps like Blaupunkt THA275 or the 4 channel THA475 would I get a similiar improvement with the stock speakers (europe Hifi, US stock) The first one is a two channel, if I use this, would the rear speaker go silent or are still amplified by the HU?

Bruce,
I've just completed a total upgrade of my E60 sound system, including:
- The BSW Stage 1 upgrade
- Earthquake Subs
- The Blaupunkt THA 555 PnP amp
- A Spec.Dock iPod cradle replacing my ashtray
It sounds fantastic, and I very heavily leveraged your threads as a resource throughout my project. Thank you very much.
So, now that I am done, I have two clean-up issues. One is that I've developed an "SOS Call System Malfunction" iDrive error, which seems probably to have happened when I unplugged the fiber cable while the key was in position 2 at one point. I'll see if that might be a matter of clearing the error code and initializing the computer.
Secondly, now that I've upgraded the amplifier, my chimes, and especially my PDC beeper, is REALLY LOUD! Annoyingly so. I can't find any easy way to adjust that - have you encountered it and identified any workarounds?
Again, thanks.

I can imagine using the "+" from the led which lights when your PDC is on to turn the amp down...
