Yes it goes where the LOC is... all the wiring is done in the trunk pretty much - no need for any inside/front wiring.

except of course for the remote right? i haven't found any other way seeing as the fuse box is in the inside unless you've tapped it to the stock amp?

I know one of them has LOC-low output converter as well as providing a Remote wire signal for the amp |

Hey guys, quick question.
So I have my hi-lo converter (amp interface adapter). How can I tell which one goes into the positive sub wire and negative? If you cant tell in the picture, there are 4 wires, 2 white and 2 gray. One wire of each pair has a black stripe whilst the other does not. does it matter? or should i just pick one and stick with it? |

For me - i ususally go with wire with a stripe on it as negative. the wire without stripe on it is positive. You can just pick which way you want to go with and stick to it. If you choose wire with black stripe as negative, then make sure when you connect your subwoofer, use black stripe as negative on your AMP to Subwoofer as well. ALthought it doenst really matter in most audio applications you can have it reversed but keep them all the same polarity |

okay, and...i have another question.
How exactly would I connect my positive wire to my battery? can I just trim down the plastic of the wire, and like wrap it around the terminal and tighten the wire down under the washer? |

make sure you plug it into the positive power all the way at the near the front ... do not use place it where the battery safety kill box is in the in the middle. |

Dr, sorry, I don't understand why you updated which positive connection to use. What was wrong with the first location, that the front one is so much better? Don't most people use the first spot you had used?
IIRC, I think I saw someone even buy a special BMW connector that goes on the end of the wire so that it is plug and play with one of the free positive ports next to that one in fact. |

If we use the first connection it is before the safety device. I have had only one person I know of that this happened to their car. They were running an old school amp that was faulty and it caused his safety device to to activate and it put his car into limp mode. BMW charged about 300 to replace it. It's not to say this will happen to your car but I would rather you guys use this other terminal to be safe. I know alot of people like to shortcut or install things because they are impatient. Better to be safe is my always my priority with electrical |

Umm the harness is those wires and the locking sleeve is different on your model but there's a release tab that you press to release the harness from amp. Basically to unplug the wires going to your stock amp
