Sorry to correct you bruce depending on the ohms of the subs hes running he could run a mono amp ive ran 4 subs wired at 1ohm with a mono 1ohm stable amp mono and stereo amps infact have nothing to do with how many speakers you want to run you just have to wire the ohm's correctly
I didn't say you cannot run multiple subs with 1 amp. I know aresh is trying to change the subs below the seats with Earthquakes and they are connected in stereo. So if he chooses a mono amp he will ruin the stereo sound imagery in the car and also be running one sub output without load which is not good.

what does it mean by all other wires going into the female connector
Yes all wires besides the sub wires will just go from the New Male to the New Female. You will need to branch the remote if you want to use the L7 to switch the New Amp on. If you use the rear boot lighter socket as your remote then you dont need that too.

Thats a good amp and in that case you don't even need the remote wire because the amp has that speaker sense signal feature. You don't need tyco pins just use the BMW part numbers I've given here in the thread above.

Your diagram is correct, yes you wont need any LOC with that amp.

Buy any wire but make sure that the conductor is atleast 4mm think. Hope you have a crimping tool at hand to crimp the tyco contacts to the wires. Don't put the contacts into the plug until you are sure where it should go because you cannot easily remove the contact from the plug after you push it in.

P.S. : You do realise that you need to still power your new amp.

i tried to remove the original plug today, i knocked off the locking buttons on the side and tried to slide it out. Its really hard to slide out, i feel like i can break it, is sliding it out towards the right direction the only way it works?
