Hi guys.. I have a 2012 e92 on order with the bmw business system... what do you guys think of these? I want to only add and amp and sub (JL Audio 500/1 and 12w7) would these speakers sound ok with this amp and sub? also would I need anything else to connect this amp?

thanks any advise would be helpful!

I'd go with a 12w6 in a corner loaded box. Be sure to hit up technic for a harness.

OP I'm in the same boat as you but I won't be doing corner load since I have this box already. I wanna know what works too since I don't have rear fold seats.

Corner loading is more efficient and you'll have alot less rattles.

I already have the amp and sub but what I need to know is how to hook it up? Also why do you say the w6 is better?
Thanks

[bmw325i]

A W6 would fit in a corner enclosure. Anyways you want to pm technic and get his harness.

corner loading all the way

after having tried all 3 options
forward facing
rear facing
and corner loading
trust me
corner loading sounds much better

w6's are awesome. Simply put, you'll need to have a direct positive power to your amp from your battery. A ground onto some part of your frame or chassis of your car. Then a power on to tell your amp when to turn off or on. There's a ton of information you can find over the web if this is your first audio setup.

Excellent thanks people...this is all helpful!

FYI im planning to corner load a 12w6 in the future

Gonna go rip out my 12W6V3 from my Z right now and throw it into the E92. Now time to find a box!

I'm in the same boat as the op but I was wondering which corner did you put it on? if behind the car, left or right corner?

[bmw325i]

It won't really matter if you do left or right.

[azzi78]

Not had it done just yet, having the box made, but it will be going on the left...but in honestly I don't think it makes a difference... How are you guys hooking up the amp?

Right
On top of battery

Wow, very nice and clean looking.

Where did you get that enclosure? I was thinking of putting mines on the left and most corner enclosures I found online were only for 10" subs, so when I went to a local audio shop to see how much custom enclosures would cost they quoted me $700+ for what I wanted.

The only thing stopping me from installing my sound system is that i'm missing the corner enclosure, I need help finding one for the left corner of the trunk that fits a 12" sub.

Im in the same situation as you, but i got quoted £700 (€1300ish!). So i am going to make my own one.

If you're interested, read my thread titled "My second stage upgrade..." Has a lot of info on making an enclosure.

Will do sir, i'm in the same situation as you. I already bought the supplies and will be making it myself on my days off

[mob17]

Hope it goes alright, and make sure you let us know how you get on.

eBay
The company is called wickedcas
It's very well built and sounds great

[mob17]
