As the title says I just installed a 12" JL W6V2 sub in my E92 335i with a 500/1 amp and I'm pretty happy about it has any one done something similar? did u like it or did u feel it was lacking?

I had 2 12" Jl Audio W6V2 In my car on a 1000/1 JL and it was loud and a great system. But the integration was just a mess. I mean first the car rattled like hell, i mean everything rattled. But other then that it was np I guess.

i have pretty much the same setup except 1 JLW610...sounds awesome with the seat down...jusr ok with the seats up. I have very little rattle compared to other cars I have had systems in. Overall I am very pleased

Ya I agree to that I have pretty much no rattles which i'm excited about the only thing that rattles is my license plate which is paper as of now.But nothing inside.

i used to take 2 12"s and 1400 watts but the bmw trunk was designed for road noise and i couldnt feel the bass too good... and it messed up my back speakers i had to get them replaced... none on of these problems with the E90/E92s?

Well a couple of you said you had more subs and alot more power but I'm saying that with the setup I have I have no rattles and a pretty good amount of bass I've had more ellaborate systems in the past infact I still have my other 12" W6 that i didn't install but for me I'm very satisfied and don't think I want the other sub all I do is put the rear arm rest down and take the ski bag piece out and the bass gets sent through that so like I said I'm very pleased also I suggest you don't get the rear shade because I'm sure that might rattle cause it did in the 545i so leave that box unchecked to be sure.

nice well congrats i love bass and have put it in everycar but when i got to BMW.. no more bass, but i guess it can change in the E92

[smokin]

can you post some details of what equipment you have and how you fitted it etc ?

[brocken]

Pics would be very cool. I'm thinking of a similar setup. Not neccessarily JL but a single 12". I was tempted to do a complete system in the car but I don't feel like it would be worth the cost. Just adding a sub should be easy and round out the lows that are missing with the stock system.
I'd be interested to see the box you used.

I had an MB Quartsub and powered by JL Audio amp installed last week. They used a hi-low converter to tap into the wires going from the OEM amp to the subs under the seats. I'm much happier since I thought the bass was the only really weak part of the Logic 7 system.

I put a JL 12w7 in and my gas door rattles a lot. but besides that I love it

[330i]

What color wires you tap into. I'm about to install mine on an E90 Profesional

[brocken]

Yeah, I'd be curious to know which wires also. I have a Professional radio in mine too.

I didn't install it myself I don't know.

[M335i]

Im looking for a good place to mount my amp and came across your post. Arnt you not suppose to mount your amp upside down? I believe it causes them to overheat.

[Jonmartin]

I've had this in the E92 and the E60 blasting all day everyday and never had problems.

[jusbechillin]

sounds much better with a little more low end. 10's are definitely the way to go!

Hello,

If you have the Logic 7 system there are 2 thicker wires coming from factory amp, brown and red. Use these to splice the signal into the RCA High to low converter (Stinger makes a nice one). Everything is within 3 feet of trunk; battery, ground, turn on, etc...

Do not go to Best Buy to have this done.

Easy install, less than an hour it should be done.

Amp can be installed in hidden trunk compartment, unless you live in FL, AZ, or CA..then you might run into overheating issues.

600 watt amp and one nice 12 will do the job.

cool ...so everything is connected in the trunk only?? dont have to run any wires up to the i-drive?

also did you guys dynamatt the trunk lid before the install?

[330i]

There is only 1 set of wires for both subs? Red and Brown. I assume the red it positive and brown negative.

I'm planning on doing a similar setup, single 12" JL W3 with an Alpine amp. I don't have the cold weather package (live in Florida), so I can't lower the arm rest. Can someone comment on how the bass sounds with the arm rest up, or basically without the cold weather package?
