Subwoofer plug and play?

[PScalfano]

Hey guys... fairly new poster here but I have been reading this forum for information for quite a while. I am wanting to get a sub for the trunk and use it with the factory sound system. I replaced the four speakers in the back because they were cracked from the Louisiana heat or blown, and I am happy with the sound, but I think it could use a little kick. I saw that Bavarian Autosport offers a plug and play sub package, but it's really expensive. I saw the wiring schematics from the Bentley manual, but didn't see a sub port. My question is - how can I hook up a sub to the factory system? I will stop rambling now. Thanks yall!

Welcome to the 'asylum' ( )!

To integrate an 'off the shelf' sub/amp combo with the existing system try this...

Or just get rid of the stock amp buy a head unit and one of those amp/subwoofer tubes, i have a pioneer subwoofer/amp combo $199.99 sounds great for the price, plus i a have another amp powering the other speakers

Very helpful, thanks for the link! That was just what I was looking for.

You can get the Infinity Basslink on ebay for just under $200, and then wire it up yourself, saving yourself about $400-500

I have a buddy with that infinity basslink in his M3, very disapointed in how it sounds. I have a cheap bazooka tube in my e30 and it sounds 10x better.

I have one. it only takes up 1 cu ft. It is not excessive bass, it adds nicely to the music. I got mine from www.onlinecarstereo.com it was the cheapest price i found, so look around before you buy.

ahh, i haven't personally heard one. I hear it isn't worth the $700 that Bav Auto has it for.

and i sure it helps that it fires into the cabin from behind the armrest.
