Excellent
Gentlemen, I installed this tiny sub over the weekend. I just used high level input as the sub had the inputs for it. Modified the enclosure and resealed it so I could mount it to the back of the seat, and it sounds great! I have the premium sound with the idrive. Definitely rounds out the system, all passengers raved.
If anyone would like my tips/lessons learned on modifying the sub for mounting it on the back of the seat so that it is still sealed and the seat folds well please PM me. Thanks for the great DIY! |

Hate to do this considering the age of this thread. But me and my buddies have been trying to hook up a basslink to my 08 e92 335i w/ logic.. Everything works but cant find the friggin remote wire. I everything single DIY in regards to remote wire; thin black wire (cant find), power wire (dam sub turns on as soon as i plug it in). So I came to the conclusion, must be the power wire but does it really turn off after 5 minutes and why does it power on as soon as all the wires are plugged in. Really just want to hook up this system without running any wires to the front etx.... So only option is to use the LVT if so, where do you hook the trigger wire too (green) on the LVT or run it to the power wire like it says on a majority including this one and hope it shuts off after five minutes. But still cant figure out why it would power the sub on as soon as i connect the sub. Help would be greatly appreciated been trying to figure this dam thing out for three days. thank you!

Thanks for the DIY
Here is my install. I did it exactly except I ran a wire from the fuse box for the remote power, I got a LVT but it just wouldn't work

Sorry to necro this thread, but thanks OP for the post really helped me.
My Jap import is a little different, was not easy to access the amp, but was actually really easy to remove the trim and access the loom that way. I will add that I find those splice clip things to be completely rubbish, tried them first but it was just no good. In the end, I stripped a section of wire and soldered it properly - worked first go. Regarding the remote wire, LVT worked fine for me - but I also have an OEM boot/trunk cigarette lighter which worked perfectly too. Prefer the LVT though as it turns the amp on with the stereo as opposed to having to actually start the car. |

If I tap into the woofer wires from the amp in the rear to connect to my subwoofer amp using a line out converter will the "bass" option in the stock head units equalizer affect how loud my sub will play? Or will that strictly be determined my by gain setting on the amplifier powering the sub?

If I remembered correctly, the harness doesnt slide into two pieces does it? Its stays as one solid rectangle piece. I see that there's like two little plaatic tabs but not sure if those are supposed to be pressed

I wonders why can’t we just use the stock input wires from the stock sub and connect those to our RCA for the aftermarket amp ? Assuming the stock amp already have the low pass filter built in to our stock sub .
So no need of getting the LOC ? Last edited by Le7316; 07-20-2018 at 03:55 PM.. |

1. Grab high level after the amplifier (which is 70 watts per channel, EQ'd and low pass filtered) 2. Code car to Hi-Fi/676 and run new harness from behind head unit to rear of car. This gives you front and rear stereo differential balanced line-level outputs that are not filtered or EQ'd. 3. Buy a MOST D/A converter compatible with your car, like the MoBridge DA2. |

I used the PAC LP7-2 LOC. Everything works, but bass is very very low. I have a Alpine MRP-M500 and JL 12W6v2. It was taken out of my old wrx and was working well.
Even with the with the gain and bass boost set to max, volume is very low. Messed with the LOC settings and nothing seemed to work. Wonder if i have a faulty LOC? |
