In this video I show you guys the easiest way I have found to add an aftermarket subwoofer to a BMW F30. The factory sound systems in these cars are pretty decent, but additional bass really helps fill out the car. This is a bit longer of a video, but I really tried to go in depth and show step by step how to do this install. Hope you get something out of it!

In case anyone was wondering about the factory speaker wires: Blue/Red = Left positive Blue/Brown = Left negative Black/Red = Right positive Black/Brown = Right negative

@ThePhysicalGamers1 3 месяца назад

I noticed there’s a few pairs of each color, each a different size in thickness. Which ones did he plug into? The thinnest one?

@Brandon-dk6iw 2 месяца назад

Do you unplug the under seats subwoofers or just leave them all on ?

@nsgaming9244 2 месяца назад

@@Brandon-dk6iw that would be personal preference but no need to disconnect them really. ive done systems before and ive just left the factory sub but you can totally unplug it if youd rather just hear the bass from your new sub if its more crisp than the factory one

@dc4l677 23 дня назад

@ThePhysicalGamers1 the thickest one are the cars subwoofers. That's where you want to tap into with a line out converter

My goodness. All these other junk of RU-vid videos don't show remote wire. I thank you for showing a remote wire. Simple and easy. Thank you 🙏

red & white (positive) brown (ground) little black (remote) what color for the negative? also are they all the same color for left and right?

@wordtruth6116 10 месяцев назад

I did the same but still not very good bass in the cabin. It’s seems I need some type of pass through. How about you? Are you satisfied with the bass that is making to your main cabin?

@GuruNick 2 года назад

Thanks for the vid - did you disconnect your ground when doing power hookups? BMW states that they never - ever - disconnect batteries in their newer cars. Did you leave it connected when you did the power hookups? + first or - first?

@vanboyautos 2 года назад

This is a great question! I personally did not disconnect the power hookups, I was able to just loosen connectors on the battery and add my sub connectors in, so the battery was never fully disconnected from the car

@AaronSablon Год назад

Hi, great video and very helpful. 1 question - the twisted wires leading to the factory subs under the seats. Which is left and right…?

Where did you get the splitter for the front bumper?

@vanboyautos 2 года назад

i actually found it on ebay, just search "F30 front splitter" and look for one that matches your bumper version!

@kinzzain Год назад

Is it possible to connect external sub directly to the factory amplifier or after market same harness amplifier?. I just dont want to cut wires because im not good at it anyway. Thanks

@vanboyautos Год назад

I don’t think it’s possible to connect an external sub directly to the factory amp, but you might be able to replace the factory subs under the front seats with aftermarket subs, as long as they required the same power

@kinzzain Год назад

@@vanboyautos thank you

@danielluna7314 7 месяцев назад

I believe if you use the line output converter to tap into the factory amp wires, you can then plug the rca cables into the line output converter and the other side of the rca’s directly into your external amp. If that is what you meant

@timcarpenter8198 Год назад

Mine is hooked up the same way put when i got about 3 quarter up on the volume my subs will shit off if i turn it back done they come on anyone have any idea on why that is i have the base on the car turn all the way down and my amp is about half way up

@G-Ro619 8 месяцев назад

When you turn the volume up, the more wattage it uses. Most likely your amp is not powerful enough to handle the wattage. What amp wattage and sub wattage do you have?

@knowitallandtravel 10 месяцев назад

Has anyone done this to a g22 or g23? I need to know if i can connect the remote wire the same way or what fuse to tap in the trunk. pls hellllp!!!

@nsgaming9244 2 месяца назад

remote wire should be fine to just tap

@tylerdosch6224 Год назад

can i do this same thing but with a separate amp and sub?

@benadams8525 Год назад

yep, would the LOC would go into the amp instead is all I believe

@ben-sf3ix 2 года назад

how did you connect your remote wire, you only connected to your output converter, so how does the amp know to shut itself off? can i just skip the rem over the entire converter and plug it straight into my amp?

@vanboyautos 2 года назад

So with the specific powered sub I used, it has an auto turn on/off built in which I set to "AUDIO" so that it turns on when it receives signal through the speaker wires, and off when everything shuts off. I would think your solution of connecting the remote directly to the remote turn on port on your amp would work too!

@xBillyBillium Год назад

Is there any chance you could break down the wires and clamps? In the video you state you used blue for positive and red for negative and yellow for whatever. Which colored wires have the blue clamps and which have the red? The portion showing them clamped makes it somewhat difficult to see which is which.

Great video but I didnt understand this part ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-lbSnl8CTOH4.html , why you to connect RCA with DIN Connectors together.
