Ok, so today I unpacked the 2 boxes from BSW and started the install. I had to remove my old sub box that was taking space in the trunk of my X first and clean all the wires. I left the positive connected and removed the fuse for the time being. Grounded the new wire close the new amp they sent me. By the way they use their own BSW amp, which is much smaller and more powerful than the original they had. I will post pictures later on. So the new sub fitted quite nicely in the opening. After I bolted the sub I realized that I knocked of the light bulb housing from the rear light. As you can imagine there is no space and no way you can put it back in the housing until you remove the fuse box again and unbolt the sub and remove and then fix the light bulb. Did it and put back all together.
Just to mention that I made sure all was connected and working before I started to put things to their places. So, sub is mounted and done, routed all wires nice and mounted the amp to the back of the left cargo panel. Now I have to cut a round whole on the right cargo panel to reveal the speaker behind. I already bought from eBay 10" speaker grille for $5 and all will look nice at the end.
I have to tell you that I'm absolutely happy with my purchase and the help that I got from Halston from BSW.
The sub has awesome sound and bass, the amp is great as well. I was pleasantly surprised how easy and fast the whole installation was and now I have an excellent sound in my X.
