Aftermarket Amp recommendation please
Hello,
I'd like to upgrade my subwoofer to SWS-8s, but from researching, I found that it won't be straight swap without adding aftermarket amp or equipment, Could anyone please recommend aftermarket amp which will work with my system and SWS-8s? BTW, I have 09 M3 with Premium Sound System. Thank you! |

The Premium amp woofer outputs are in the mid 30V peak (thus the 40V max LOCs recommended above) so you need a LOC that can take those 30V+ and cleanly lower it to some 4-5V depending on your aftermarket amp low level input sensitivity. Once you get either LOC you can get any 150W-200W RMS 2-channel, 2-ohms stable amp that you want to drive a pair of SWS-8 (be 2- or 4-ohms). |

So either 2 ohms or 4 ohms SWS-8 will work with any 150W-200W 2 channel, 2-ohms amp, or I need to get 150W-200W 2 channel, 4-ohms amp if I get 4 ohms SWS-8? |

Put it this way, get an amp that puts out the same 150-200W RMS per channel regardless of 2- or 4-ohms.
