Logic 7 SWS 8 subwoofer question>>> HELP

Spoolin335 · 02-02-2011, 01:02 PM

I am halfway through installing my SWS 8 subs in my car with logic 7.
I am currently running the remote line from the back of my head unit and i know i need to find Pin 13. I figure it would be pretty straight forward but there are many connectors.

Can anyone tell me what wire is pin 13 from the pictures? I dont really want to start removing the connectors in case i have a hard time getting them back in the correct spot.

Also were exactly does it say PIN 13? there are atleast 5 connectors...

Thanks guys.

UPDATE

So i pulled the entire connector off and realized it says what each pin is on the front.

Here you guys go, PIN 13 is the small black wire as shown in the pictures.

Use a fuse on that line.

Stupid question: If these are just replacing the OEM subs that came with the car, why do any additional lines need to be run? Can't you just use existing connections?

Thx

He is using an aftermarket amp to power the new woofers. He is wiring in the aftermarket amp in a fairly labor-intensive manner (our packages don't require this process, for example).

Its super easy to install the amp. I realized the pics are down because i must have taken them down. Anyways, the only annoying part is pulling the headunit out and pulling a line off from the remote wire. Wiring in my amp to the factory amp was pretty easy.

I have had the subs in for just over a year now with zero issues at all. The remote line perfectly controls the power on my amp.
Also, the reason i ran new lines is because the connectors for the factory subs are not going to wire into your aftermarket subs without cutting the connector off.

I emailed with bavauto.com and they've given me every indication that the SWS subs will work fine with the existing system (i.e. no need for additional amp) and will use the existing connections.

Pretty sure BavAuto is not in the audio business and doesn't offer amps. Will they play? Sure. Do they sound they way they are supposed to?

As far as the connections go, that's just bad information, I'm afraid. When we ship the SWS-8 bmw package, we add the rings, gaskets, and we make wiring adapters so that they will plug in... Pretty sure BavAuto us not doing that.

Pretty sure that you're not going to hear how woofers sound if you don't have a high-fidelity recording setup AND a high-fidelity speaker system to play them back on. A phone mike usually has a high-pass filter on it that will prevent such an exercise from being useful (and if you're listening to it on computer speakers, ditto).

That is ridiculous!

Too bad you're on the wrong coast!

Could you put together a "kit" that has everything I'd need for those speakers in my 2007 335i? What would the "from 1 to 10" difficulty rating be for a self-install?

It doesn't hurt to make a video, let me be at fault if I can't hear it that well, I have my ways to listen to things aka reTard hearing.

" I suggest you not underestimate the staggering drawing power of the Garden State".

The kit we have includes a PnP harness, a 125x2 micro-sized amplifier for the woofers, the power harness for the woofers, the 2-ohm woofers, the steel adapters, the wiring adapters, the gaskets, and everything needed for the install but the tools. Free tech support is also included.

The install for someone who has never done an install is probably a 6, if 10 is don't even think about it and 8 is "takes all weekend". Takes a long day for the first time, but no actual install is involved.

$795 plus actual freight (15-25 continental US)
