Is it easy to add a powered subwoofer to a 2013 550i? Does the stock stereo (which I have) have a subwoofer output? If not, how would I get a signal? Would I need a crossover?

Any input would be great. Thanks

It depends on the OEM system in your 550i:

- Premium or B&O = OEM amp woofer high level outputs peak at about 30-35V. Tap OEM amp woofer outputs with an Audiocontrol LC2i (40V max input) active LOC. LC2i provides the low level inputs to the sub amp. Remote turn on signal is found at pin 13 at the rear of iDrive unit.

No remote signal can be generated by the LC2i and the OEM amp.

- HiFi system = tap OEM woofer outputs with any passive LOC of 8V/50W max input. Remote turn on signal is located at pin 10 of the OEM amp connector.

I thought that sounded quite reasonable?

Hey Technic, I just moved back to NY from Boca Raton. Missing FL a lot! I have the regular stock system. I know it's not the B&O and if there is any additional cost for the premium then I don't have that either so I'm still not sure if I can??

Send me a PM with the last 7-digits of your VIN and I will tell you what you need in detail...

Thank you so much!
