Feel free to leave any questions here in the comments, and I will respond to them as soon as I can.
Hey was good man : nice work, can u tell me the tap in connectors u use the blue ones.. thanks
Boosted Media Are the color of the wires on my stock amplifier the same what you’ve identified in your video? I have a 2012 BMW 650 convertible. I’m new to this so hope you don’t mind providing some advise. I want to add a second amplifier to get addition bass. Thanks.
I have worked in car audio in years. I'm a mechanic today.
Anyway... I always created my own remote wires, by splicing an ignition wire. After testing them, to find the one I want.
Is there any reason you know of, that I can't do it to this car?
Considering installing subs in my F30. Do you experience any electronic faults due to the power draw from the battery? Is it advisable?
Hey man, what color will be the remote lead coming out from the factory amplifier? Thanks
Great video man. Very detailed explanation. Thanks. I’ll be using your video to install my Skar amp and subs.
Glad you found it helpful! :)
Thanks for taking the time to make this helpful video!
Thank you so much for the help! This is a great video especially since I’m new to the aftermarket additions!!
Also, is the amp 2 or 4 channel
Thanks for showing your setup. Helped with my install. I was wondering, what settings are you running in the audio settings in the idrive (treble/bass/EQ/surround)?
How much did this whole setup cost for the subwoofer ?
Excellent demonstration. I have the same LOC and was wondering exactly what to do with the wires. Where did you end up grounding the amp?
trying to work out how to fit a new system on a 2008 m3 e93 convertible, any wiring diagrams would be great
I just tapped those same wires last night and not getting any sound to the sub. Wondering if I have the hifi System now.? Using a line out converter. Amp turns on with car though. Might need a high/low loc.
Are there any issues with battery drain/alternator damage if amp is big? I'm thinking about JL HD750.. do I need a capacitator?
Did this run in conjunction with the factory 8's under the seats
Do you tap in to the speaker wires before the stock amp or after the amp??
Will this somewhat bypass the logic7? I have no sound in my car currently and the amp works so does the fiber optic line.
Can I install/integrate a Kicker powered subwoofer into my factory 2011 bmw 335is convertible? Looking for just a bit more lows when I put the top down. Thanks!!
Hi i have a bmw 6 series Logic 7 amplefair but there is no sound mostley of the time (waterdamage) but i cleand it and it goes now and than.. i have a other amplefair with a woofer (HERTZ) simular like yourse is it posible that i can make it work ? Sow the hertz replaces the logic 7 amplefair? Sorry fore my englisch i am from Belgium greetz
So if my amp turns on and off automatically, that means I don't need the the PAC converter thing right?
Could u run sub and 6x9s of converter or is it all low frequency????.? Cheers
How does it sound when you drive? Im thinking the base is in the back?
Just installed my system at a shop and it says battery discharging while stopped. Have you had this issue? Any ideas?
Hey so I had a question on where you connected your remote wire ? I can’t get my amp to turn on so I have no idea where to connect the remote wire. Any advice
Why shouldn't the ground be connected straight to the battery? I'm new to this and am planning to installing a sub
I did it and I get power in my amp but my subs don’t have any sound it’s not my rcas idk what it is I need help😔😔
So the connections to the car would consist of 4 speaker wires, ground and power? And the remote switch comes from the LOC? Sorry I basically just worded the same question different.
Also I read that the subwoofers are a better spot to tap into under the seats but not sure if that is true or not.
I love the red seats I’m currently looking for 1 like yours but all white
Whats the name of the seccond song in the demonstration?
What about the brown wire coming from converter
Will this work with sos , trying find fix?
Which one is the remote wire ?
What rim is that?
what gauge speaker wire ?
How much this set up cost? Currently interested in similar set up.
Thank you Bro
Glad I could help.
I have a 07 328i and I was wandering how you open up your rear cup holders like that mine have a large plastic piece that blocks the passage between the trunk and the cabin
Your car doesn't have the ski pass thru.
thanks for video. Could you use the same converter for all e90s , even the ones that do not have logic 7? I like the idea of less tapping at the bmw amplifier and just running 2 pairs of wires from the amp to the converter. I m just not sure if the LP7 converter would also work for models without logic 7... Would the remote wire still work?
I’m sure that it would work for non-Logic 7 E90s as well! I think all BMW 3 series models from this year have some form of amp in this location. Just look up the diagram for the wiring harness for the amp model you have and tap in the same way! Thanks for the comment!
@@boostedmedia1812 What if my factory amp is fried? Am I able to just run a single aftermarket amp in replacement of the factory one?
My amp is not in the side its in the middle behind seat cant find any like mine
would the wiring kit you used be too short for wiring two subs on opposite sides of the trunk?
The speaker wire and power wire should be long enough! I had about 2 feet of leftover wire.
If you cannot find 12v for signal that will turn off you can use a switch to turn the amp on and off
Will this work for a e82
i love his car tho too good
So I followed this pretty closely and am using the same line out converter as in this video. When my car is off out of nowhere the subs start blaring, and it won't stop till I unplug the RCA cables. Is there any way to stop this other than to add an on/off switch?
Mine done the same did you work out why
@@DEVINE.IMAGE. Nope. I'd recommend wiring an actual remote wire to the HU. I uninstalled the subs entirely. Hated the gas cap rattle.
What do you tap the remote blue wire to. To get the signal to turn the amp on
thats what im wondering 🤔💭
How do you take the clip off the amp to get a better grasp of the harness
I pulled the clip as far to the right as I could with my fingers, and then had to pry it out the rest of the way using a flat head screwdriver. Just be gentile, and it should slide and pop out with a little more pressure! :)
Comment on branche le remote ?
What year is this
So the remote wire from the LOC goes to the remote spot on the amp, and that gets signal from the speaker wires by the stock amp?
Correct the connection gets complete when you unlock the doors and power on the car but the loc also has constant power as well it’s not solely running off speaker wire. I believe there is no draw until the car is powered on.
How much was the set up?
Hi where do you connect the remote wire?! Thank's
The remote wire will go from your line out converter (I used the PAC audio one) and connect to the remote terminal on your amplifier.
The BMW logic 7 system doesn’t have a remote wire natively.
Bro I need upgrade my factory amp and speaker ,I fint want to add woofer, just factory amp and speaker upgrade , can you suggest what should I do
Factory amp will be hard to replace because of the fiber optic wire (logic 7 systems), but it’s doable. I would recommend these two websites to get started: bavsound.com crutchfield.com

My car has no amp on the back. It has base system. How can i install the line converter.
You will have to remove interior trim and tap into the wires heading directly into your base system's subwoofers! As far as I know, some bimmers have the base subs under the front seats or sometimes on the deck below the rear window!
Is there a way to tell the the amplifier to turn on when the radio turns on. Instead of having to turn on the car to turn on the amp?Like if I just have it on accessory without the car on and the amp turn on like that?
And does changing the amount of bass on the I-Drive change the sub bass? Sorry I’m new to aftermarket subs
Hey man! Thanks for checking out the video!
The way I installed mine with the PAC audio LP7-2 converter, it sends a remote wire to the map and my map turns on when the car is unlocked and on accessory
The BMWs with iDrive and/or Logic 7 systems don’t have a remote turn on wire which is why you need a converter like the one I mentioned to turn on the amp when the car is unlocked
And yeah! Turning down the bass through iDrive turns down the bass on the aftermarket sub due to the fact that you are tapping into the bass signal wires. Therefore, turning it down through iDrive gives less subwoofer input to the amp!
Hope this helps!
@@boostedmedia1812 im still trying to understand exactly how the convertor acts as a power switch. Does it turn on when it gets signal from the lines its tapped into? I just dont understand how else it would get a signal as its plugged into the amp.
It’s so easy to get to your amp in 335s in my 535i I gotta take the whole fucking trunk apart damn near so I don’t fuck nothing up lol
Will the amp cause strain on the battery
I have been running mine for over a year now and no issues whatsoever!
Why does your car have mud-flaps?
What's the song at 8:15
Torello23 a boogie ft 6ix9ine - Swervin
why is there no amp in my trunk? I got the same car lol
Alternator will eventually fail. That amp/woofer will pull too much power from primary battery causing alternator to work harder causing premature failure. If you’re adding an EXTRA amp to the system you will NEED an auxiliary battery inline/between added amplifier and primary battery.
Why is the stock system so shit. I don't even have tweeters but there are 2 shitty subs under the seats.
Should've ran a 12v relay switch to automatically shut off your amplifier(s)
Is this same for 650i
As far as I know it should be pretty similar, not 100% certain though.
Hey can somebody help me? Just want to know if it will be a similar process for a 2007 BMW 750i thank you!!
I know nothing of this...I just got 2 12's.and amp installed in small 2022 car...sounds like shit....will a loc make a difference?
You don’t need 20 feet of sub lead a good 5-6 feet will be good
Lol
Can i connect speaker wire to connect to power wire to go into the amp? My power wire won’t reach my amp
I would not recommend this, power wire is designed to carry the extra power supplied by the car’s battery. It is usually thicker gauge and insulated to protect against fire.
Boosted Media when I put a sub and amp will the aftermarket amp make the factory speakers sound better
A guide? It’s a mess
I can only hope this was a demo video
WHAT A CRAPPY INSTALL really dude electrical tape looks like a hack job
This is a bmw not a daewoo
