putting in a 3rd party subwoofer in the trunk today with an additional amp. dealer says "100% sure" - also putting in a voltage stabiliser

 

Ok now i'm interested! How can u add such thing with the idrive and all? How's does the addition process work?

 

i asked my dealer

and what they said was - the digital signals all get converted to pure analog stuff in kind of like a final common point before hitting the NORMAL analog speakers in the e60

so he's tapping that loom & the additional amp is just fed directly in a very normal electrical circuit to tap current from the battery

the complexity is with the head unit & idrive screen

he's so C**K sure that he can do it that he's given a money back guarantee

 

just found out that you can change all the stock speakers as well

except maybe the one in the front dash
'cos the thought of ripping out the dash & putting it back after gave my dealer cold sweats

 

YEAH but i already have L7 and well the speakers are just perfect. The bass could be more active with the addition of an amp+woofer

 

just found out that there are speakers under my front seats! and the installation went ok - bass sounds great now - next.... capcitor & better speakers.....

 

So what amps and what woofer did you choose?

 

both JBL - package deal
worked out to be SGD$720 including installation

 

Ok, can u be more specific? what jbl amp and what subwoofer? What power/model?

I'll give next week my dealer a call to see if he knows how to do it. (most of the time the dealer is an idiot)
