Adding Sub!

[Ferret]

Hah, amps fit quite neatly in the tools bin!



Tourers lend themselves to quiet sub installs:

ive just got a small sub box in the boot to which i mounted the sub amp to the side of - knocked out the ski hole -power direct to battery and signal and control cables run from deck down the centre. sub is held in place with a couple of right angle bracket attached to the box and the floor of the boot

Hi guys! I am in the process of upgrading my sound system,and would like to add an amp and a sub. Here in OZ, our E34's didn't come with amps in the trunk (boot), so the archives on this site are of no use to me. So what is the best and simplest way of adding an amp and a sub?

[BigKriss]

what head deck are you running?

G'day Kriss, Ive got a sony xplod GT270 (nothing fancy) but i get 52x4 and rear sub out.

So you are only running your sub off the amp. If you are thats what I want to do!

Nice setup, love where you mounted the sub, very clever. Do you load your touring up where things can move around? If so, I'd suggest some sort of grill overlay to protect the cone from things hitting/puncturing it.

you can't run a sub from the headdeck. you can the 4 speakers (the 4x52), but you need a separate amp to run the sub.

you need a separate 2 channel amp. I made a new shelf were the skipass hole goes and mounted a free air sub. I think mine is too boomy. I'd rather a tight sub.

Looks to me like you mounted that kenwood amp upside down, which is never good. This would surely overheat on hot days and possibly cause a fire. Also your wiring is pretty messy and can be easily cleaned up with some zip ties.

Not to mention, mounting an amp upside down and inside that small cubby might blow out the amp.
