Hey there, JS-
I've been considering this mod.
Can you (or anybody else) post any pix of the BSW box in the back of your X5? I'm curious to see how much of the precious space gets consumed in the interest of better sound.
FWIW, I've had similar experiences in my prior two E39 5ers with adding a dedicated sub to the factory system. It made a world of difference while at the same time being minimally intrusive.
On my 98 540i/6 (non-DSP), I added a single sealed 10" with an xTant multi-channel amp driving the sub AND the factory speakers. Then I upgraded the factory speakers in the cabin to Boston Acoustices component drivers.
On my '00 M5 (DSP), I had more limited options. In that one, I ran 2x10" a/d/s subs in a 'free-air' install in the rear deck. Took the speaker-level outputs from the factory Nokia "sub" (4.5" speakers in a tuned enclosure??) and ran them to a monobloc sub amp.
The sealed box in the prior setup had a much better sound. More punch, more accurate. My brother still owns that car, and I'm amazed at the sound every time I'm in it. That's why I'm excited by the BSW option.
