FS: E53 2000-2006 OEM Subwoofer- SOLD
 

I tried to install this but I couldn't locate the subwoofer plug in my trunk space. Both woofer's are in good working condition. I believe it is plug and play if you have the plug (someone correct me if I am wrong). No splicing or wiring needed.
$80 buyer pays for shipping, I will get you a quote if you provide your zip.

I don't have DSP, so is there a way to get this to work on a non-dps system? do I need an AMP as well? sorry I don't know much about stereo systems, but I do want better bass in my x5.

I don't have DSP either but I have heard that our X's come pre-wired to accept the stock SUB. I did not find this wire in my trunk space therefore this is why I am selling it.

Can someone with knowledge of this please chime in.

So I guess I would need to find a stock amp before I can actually use the sub first..haha

My mistake... I meant stock Subwoofer.

no, actually you are correct and I kind of guessed it too. Our Non-DSP cars don't come with amp, so in order for me to use the sub-woofer I would need an amp. I don't think there is a way for me to just plug in the sub and have it working.

Mine came with an AMP. It is located in the left rear. It might not be powerful enough or might not have the channel to power the OEM sub.

hm, guess I'll do a bit more research before I decide if this will work for me or not haha

the amp in the back on the left in fact does have sub outputs. That's how I hooked up my aftermarket amp and subs. I know when I had everything ripped apart there were at least 3 plugs with alot of wire tied up on the left side. Maybe enough to stretch to the factory location. Not sure as I didnt try.

I found this blue plug on the right side compartment, but not sure if that's the harness. It says AMP 3-963-247-2 on it. (It's either a 6 or a 5, not too sure) I tried looking up that part number (or w/e that number is and I came back with nothing).

not the plug. I believe the plug is black

damn it, I knew it was too good to be true. Maybe somebody that knows more about this can tell me what that blue plug is? I will keep searching for the black plug. Since it's not the one on the right compartment, I'd assume it is strapped with the amp somewhere, which is quite out of reach..

AMP (Air Marine Products), is a Tyco company manufacturing the plugs and other small electrical things for BMW, the number you found is AMP part number, which is not sold to general public, as it is proproetary BMW order. That same plug should also bear a BMW 7-digit part number, which may, or may not come up on the RealOEM database, as the plug might be considered as an integral part of the in-vehicle harness. Even thou, I would think, that there is a warehouse somewhere in Fatherland full of those rare plugs, connectors, pins, etc... Otherwise, how all those German harness makers make all those custom harnesses????

oooh, haha I was thinking by having AMP on it, it had something to do with the audio like a harness pre-wired out of the amp. Hmm.. I guess I'm gonna have to keep looking for that cable.

:bump:

Price drop to $70 and I will ship it FedEx Ground within the US for FREE!

is it still for sale? how did you solve the sub problem. I understand there were two models of that subwoofer one dsp and one non-dsp. I was able to find my taps for the amp but I want to use that style cabinet.

thanks for your time
