bmw f07 underseat subwoofer upgrade

mosy · 02-08-2015, 02:06 PM

hi there

any one can help with the connection for underseat subwoofer, i bought the Ampire neo 8 subwoofer, i thought it is just plug and play , but BMW original harness or connector is 4 pin and it is only ( positive and negative ) on the new subwoofer, any one please can help with the connection required and from where i can buy it ( from 4 pin connector to positive and negative)

thanks

There might be an aftermarket adapter you can use...might have to search or Google it? Is there a significance upgrading to those subs you purchased? Let me know if they fit because I heard 8's should fit but someone measured the stock woofer and it's 6" woofer but the housing will accomodate an 8".

i bought the Ampire NEO8 subwoofer, it is the same size as the OEM ones except from the wiring , but i figured out how to do the wring , you just buy connector and pins from BMW , to connect to the original car connector, didn't try it , but i hope it will works

Is this suppose to be a big improvement over the factory sub?

cipher5 · 02-12-2015, 12:24 PM

are you using the factory amp?

mosy · 02-13-2015, 10:08 AM

well, i have the base system which i believe no amp, i upgraded the 4 door speakers with 2 tweetrs all plug and play ( BMW top hifi speakers) and i bought the neo subwoofer and it is big improvement in sound

Well I know you spent the money but BAV sound will have a Sub Upgrade within the next 2 months.. You may want to shoot them an email about an adapter those guys would know

Didn't know that as many people here seem to give up waiting for that.

Waste of money if you do not amp underseats. Unfortunately OP lacks knowledge in beamers and tries to cut corners where feasible.

You put SWS-8 / Jehnert there and it will burp as CIC / NBT is not good enough to power them.

need to add/upgrade amp. otherwise, it's a waste of money.

I think subs maybe parallel connected. You need to get hold of Technic to buy plug and play adapter.
