Inexpensive Subwoofer Setup *insight needed*

Hi all,

So I got bored one day and decided that my e92's Logic 7 System doesn't have enough bass. I started looking through Amazon/Ebay and priced out the following...
  1. Infinity Reference 1062W 4ohm Dual Voice Coil Subwoofer (1100W Max Power - 4ohms) - $48 (Ebay)
  2. Random Mono 1 Channel Amp - 250W @ 4ohms and 1100W Max @ 2 Ohms - $34
  3. 10" Subwoofer Enclosure - $28 (Ebay)
  4. Complete Amplifier Wiring Kit - $9 (Amazon)
  5. PAC SNI35 Adjustable 2-Channel Line Out Converter - $11 (Amazon)
    Total spent: $130

I plan on tapping into the Logic7 high level subwoofer outputs, feeding that to the Hi/Low and then running that directly to my amp & subwoofer. I plan on keeping the amp and wires sucked away in the fold-up storage compartment in the trunk.

What is the best way to wire the 4ohm DVC subwoofer to my 1 channel amplifier to achieve a 2ohm load? I found this (below) when doing some research.. does that look correct?



Is there anything missing from this list? How can I (cheaply) improve this setup? I believe the amp I went with has a built in sub crossover and lowpass filter.

Get Technic's logic 7 harness so you don't have to cut or tap the stock wiring. Your diagram is correct you would wire the sub in parallel.

For now, I'm just looking to achieve a little more "thump" at the lowest cost possible so tapping into the stock wiring is fine with me at the moment. I may consider the Technic harness in the future if I move onto higher end components (which I probably will )

Thanks for confirming the wiring - that was my main concern.

Uh, ok..

Get yourself a better LOC at least, or do you want to start a fire in your trunk?

I haven't pulled the trigger on anything yet so I can still modify my order -- Are there any LOCs you would recommend?

That's the same one that Technic uses. Honestly you are better of just getting the proper harness. You'll be glad you did later.
