MusicarNW Subbass Module 2 Installed
Here are some pics of my newly finished MusicarNW Subbass installation. Was a breeze. Everything looks great and sounds even better.

Drove the car home yesterday after the install and noticed quite a bit of random popping from the speakers. I don't see what could have been done wrong. Any thoughts? Only thing I can think of is the harness that gets put between the stock harness and the new amp, maybe a connection issue? Also, I had to unplug the two connectors above and next to the large plug on the amp.

Hits decently. Trying to get it all set at this point. The box is probably too small to get the full potential out of this sub imo.

You can add som polyfill to the box That makes the sub sound like it's in a bigger enclosure 1lb per cubic foot of enclosure adds 30% volume So if the sub needs 1 cubic foot, and your box is 0.75 then adding 0.75lb of polyfill will make it seem like a 1 cubic foot to the sub Best thing is poly fill bags cost about $4 at wall mart So you can buy it and try it If it makes no difference, you've just bought a new pillow

Looks great! Is this their "level 1" upgrade with Jehnert 8" drop-ins, ID woofer, and 75x2 + 300x1 amp? You mention module 2, but I was under the impression that the level 2 upgrade includes two discrete amps, and that they would be installed above the stock amp (below the plastic tray behind the drivers' side wheel).
If I understand your other posts correctly, you did the install yourself, right? Did it involve any drilling, cutting, splicing, panel popping and difficult routing of wires, etc? Or was everything "plug and play" or worked with existing snap-in harnesses and the like? I'm looking at the same setup, and I'm trying to get an idea if I would want to do a job like this myself. Once you get it dialed in, if you could post additional thoughts about how it integrates with the rest of the stereo and other general comments, that would be appreciated (or PM me if its easier). Thanks, and nice job on the install!

They limit how many threads a vendor can have at one time, so we are in the process of getting the packages up on our web site.
http://www.musicarnw.com/bmw-subwoofers/ We do have a lot of configurations. There are Trunk Sub packages and Full-Bass packages. The Full-Bass packages also upgrade the underseat woofers and use a multichannel amp, while the Trunk Sub packages are the trunk sub/sub amp kit. |

THE_TECH any update here? Still getting popping? Any way you can explain how it compares to other subs you've experienced?

No popping at all. I love JL's subs. I have them in all the other cars I own as well. With this setup, I don't think you could ask for anything more. I was expecting much less bass from this enclosure than what it actually is producing. It sounds great and takes up virtually no trunk space. I used to be the guy who always sacrificed the trunk to have a pair of subs. I have zero regrets on getting this setup. In addition, Technic's harness made the install as easy as it gets. To me, this is something that BMW could have added to the mix due to its compact nature and OEM fit and quality.

So even with the install kit from MusicarNW you need the Technic harness? Did you have to run any wiring up front? Or just connect into the factory sub location?
I know you said above just plug and play but not sure where you plug! Thanks for the feedback. Sounds like from their website I may have to get a 10" since I have a sedan? |

Only one wire has to go to the front of the car. Unfortunately, I thought that this seemed kinda stupid since the rest of the setup all stays in the rear but I guess there is no other switched power source at the back. So you have to run one wire to the fuse box. Adds 10 mins or so to the install, so not a huge deal in the end. Not sure what sizes you can use. PM VP Electricity about it. Their site is too vague. |

He said he checked all his wiring and fixed it, but
I'm not exactly certain what he fixed - hopefully he posts that. You would get a 10, that is correct. Signal harness plugs in at the amp in the driver's rear corner, sub amp usually goes between wheel wells under floor, LC2 usually goes next to EP amp. Power harness to battery, speaker harness from amp to sub. Only wire cutting is when inserting our harness wires into the new amplifier terminals. |

Yes, working on the site still.
We now have located that one wire under the rear seat side bolster on the passenger side. I keep forgetting that the EP amp doesn't work with signal sensing - so we now include a tap for the remote wire and instructions on how to find it. |
