After market Sub & Amp but using the existing wire??
My 02 x5 has DSP with factory subwoofer. Is there a possiblity that i can use the existing set up but extend the wire so i can have an aftermarket Subwoofer + amp in the back? Nothing special, maybe just 200watt RMS and a small Mono block to drive it. Thanks

LOTS of write-ups on this about stereo installs. I'd really suggest you research where you can pull the power source from, in the left side rear by the amp/BT/cd changer area.

Should be possible as far as I know. You will need to find and tap the remote wire for the amp to turn on (there is a diagram here somewhere just haven't found it yet) then you would need a LOC (line out converter) to convert the input speaker wires to RCA cables, and of course power and ground for the amp. Search the mobile electronics forum here and you will find a wealth of information and much more detailed info. GL

Make It Proper!
The battery is right there in the back under the spare, why wouldn't you just use the best possible power source when it is so close to where you're amp will be?
Stock wiring is miniature compared to what you would want to supply a 200w RMS amp with. This wattage @ 12V will be pulling 15-16 amperes, through your fuse box! Not a good idea... get a few feet of 8-10 ga wire and use a fuse holder no more than 12 inches from the battery. Don't waste hundreds of dollars on audio gear and then use it to potentially damage your X!
