Trying to find a pair of SWS 8 subs and small enough amp to hide, I still want your cable. For SWS do we need 2 ohm or 4 ohm version? I was looking at Blaupunkt THA 275 or 555 amp will that work?

what If I wanted to by pass the factory amp and run a 4 channel amp in the trunk. I would upgrade the speakers in my 535i 2008 but I dont think it will make much of a difference? Any thoughts on that. I called a local audio place and they said they would not touch my car because of the electronics in it.

I'm intrested in getting the wire harness for my 05 530I. I just got the car last week and i've always had a good system in all my cars so of course I want to put one in this one. I like that fact that the harness will plug into the factory amp becuase I don't want anybody rewiring anything in the cabin...lol. How can I tell if it will work with my amp I looked in the trunk for the amp and wasn't sure exactly where it was. I'm just gonna hook up a "Kicker TS10L32 Single 10" Solo BARIC L3 Sub 2ohm" its about 400watts. Also in best buy they had it hooked up to a 1000watt kenwood it sounded real good.
Would I be able to hook those up to the factory amp or will that be to much? How can I get the wire harness?

The THA555 is a 5-channel amp; if you want only to power a pair of SWS-8 then you need only a 2-channel amp. Try a Rockford P300-2.

Therefore, to upgrade your system with new speakers and an amp then a 6-channel amp would be needed as a minimum. This is the harness kit that I sell to help add such a 6-channel amp to the E60: https://5series.net/forums/topic/116...1#entry1372277

Hi Technic, my car has the L7 system.
i have a monoblock 2400W rms amp and an Kicker L7 just sitting in my garage collecting dust, spiders, etc.
Simply put... your harness + my toys = exploding trunk & popped ear drums?
If so... is there a DIY and how much?

That is fundamentally the same install for the E60: unplug OEM amp, plug harness/LOC in between and that's it. RCA and remote turn on outputs are readily available to an aftermarket amp/trunk sub.
Harness is $85 shipped in the USA, PayPal is m3jonese@netscape.net.
