X53 sub install
Im looking to install a sub unit in my 3.0d sport. it has the standard BMW sat nav screen with BM54 tuner in the rear. I can pick up a BMW sub unit on the Bay of E for reasonable money, just need to know if it would be plug and play or am I wasting my time!!! Cheers Paul |

Wasting your time. It's NOT at all plug and play but more importantly they are a HUGE waste of time. Horrible sound quality once volume gets turned up a bit and you won't hear it in front seats.
Buy a used amp and sub in sub box. I am currently modifying a factory.sub box to accept a shallow mount 10" MB Quart sub, but even that is a serious undertaking. I should have just bought one of those carpeted sub boxes that were sold from Europe (like a JL Stealth box) years ago since they were cheap and available back then. None to be found on eBay anymore Sent from my Pixel 3 using Tapatalk

Crutchfield still has the JL Audio custom fit subs available. Kinda pricey, but worth it if you want a stealth install and want to retain full use of your rear cargo space! I had one in the past and loved it. Just ordered one for the new (to me) 4.6is!

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/BMW-X5-E5...AAAOSws3xfI-ht Seller does only ship to EU unfortunately, maybe if you contact him he will make an exception. I have made my own sub enclosure on the left side of the trunk with a 10'' JBL Sub. I love it, one of the best mods I have done together with the Android headunit. Hopefully the bulbs last long because getting that sub out of there will be a challenge. |

SpookX5, yes exactly like that sub box.
The seller used to ship to Canada all the time but I feel with Covid, it's not worth it as shipments are 6-8 weeks delayed. Good price, now that I realize how much time I've been fooling around with cutting up the factory ABS plastic one to accept a single 10" shallow mount sub. Sent from my Pixel 3 using Tapatalk

This listing can ship to the US, looks like the same box. I wanted to get this also but i wound up buying a used BSW sub.

I will admit, last night I was able to make a great template for front of factory sub box where I have to mount MDF and cut 230mm hole. I hope to be done this experiment in next 2 weeks (going camping for a week now) and sub is not delivered yet. Sent from my Pixel 3 using Tapatalk
