It is so long as you know for a fact that you have the professional h/u and top hi fi. If you have any doubts about that, check the audio sticky on this forum.

You are missing the point. He doesnt need to change his Logic 7 amp . . he will still use that but add his amp for the underseat midbass and an add on sub. No reason to get rid of the Logic 7 amp if it works.

Ah, yes if he just wants to power the under seat midbass and add the sub. I thought he wanted amplification to the mids and tweeters as well. Apparently not.

I don't have I drive, and I think it must be non idrive. If you just want more bass, then there is a harness Technic can give you to add amps for that.

Damn. I would think it wouldn't matter. As the amps would be the same. I hope someone chims in and lets us know or if you can find out because ill buy it from you. How do you have top hi fi with no idrive? How do you use your equalizer?

Forgot to ask you. I got the alpine type e 12". Will my 4 channel 300w be enough to power the underseats and a sub? Or will i need to use the 2 channel for the sub? Got some pictures of how you wired yours up?

My alpines are 100 watts x2 and I am using two of them . .sounds great but I dont like "slammin" bass . . so get the harness from Technic, try it with your amp and sub . .you can always add another amp if you feel the need but I think you will be fine. As far as wiring . . get the harness and you'll see what you need to do . . there should be a DIY somewhere on here . . oh and add that tweeter to your center . . also a DIY on here.

So you have a 4 channel and a 2 channel amp. You're trying to use the 4 channel amp to power the underseats and front speakers, and the 2 channel amp to power the sub. Correct? |

I also added the tweeter to center. And i have the technic harness hooked up and working. My issues im having are how to hook all this up without putting stress on my amps, blowing the speakers or under powering them.All i want hooked up are the underseats and a trunk sub. Nothing else. Questions 1. Can I power these with just a 300w 4 channel? or will i need to use my 2 channel to power the sub and my 4 channel to power the underseats? 2. depending on what i do can someone tell me where to put the settings on the amp? 3. On my sub as you can see in the picture its a DUAL 4ohm. how do i hook this up? Sub ill gets pics of the settings knobs once i decide which route to go. THANKS FOR EVERYONE'S HELP!

Technic's harness is already designed to add a trunk sub and/or amp the underseat speakers. To amp the front speakers you will need to add a line output converter to the front speaker channels. You would wire it the same way Technic did for the underseat sub channels. You can either get another 2 channel line output converter, or use a 4 channel line output converter to replace the one that came with the harness. The front channels are obviously used for the front speakers. The underseat signal gets used for both the underseats and the trunk sub. You need to use the RCA pass through on either the 4 channel or mono amp to do this, or RCA splitters if your amps do not have this feature. A good starting point for crossovers is: Front-No filter. (The signal is already high passed.) Underseats-60 hz high pass filter. (The signal is already low passed.) Trunk sub-60hz low pass filter You would wire your sub in parallel for a 2 ohm load. http://davidnavone.com/product/n-rhl...put-converter/ http://davidnavone.com/product/n-rhl...put-converter/ You can find the wiring diagram here. http://www.e90post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=138949 Last edited by bmw325i; 02-07-2014 at 08:04 PM.. |

You can, but what you'll find at best buy is probably not as high of quality. The one I linked you to is the same one Technic uses.

With the Logic 7 you dont need to add a separate amp for the front speakers. Dont make this more complicated than it needs to be. Use your mono amp for the sub and your other amp for the underseats . . and then listen and enjoy!

Here is my 4 channel. Should i use ch 1 and 2 only? Or split the rca to all 4 and use 1 underseat on ch 1/2 and the other on 3/4? Also where should each of my settings knobs be at? The range. Like the lowest/highest for each. If i do use ch 3/4 should i turn bass eq off? Also what filter should be on? Here is the 2 channel for my sub. Setting ranges for this? Thanks again! |
