Hello All,
I have a 2001 X-5 with Non DSP system that needs a little extra bass also. Can anyone explain why I could not take a factory subwoofer from an X-5 with DSP system and utilize it in my vehicle. The way I would approach this would be to locate the factory amp and wire bundle in the cargo compartment in the rear left side. These wires are inputs from the head and outputs that include high level outs to speakers as well as others that are not needed. The wires that I would tap into would be the high level input wires to the amp from the head. Perhaps use the front mid bass speakers. I don't think I would use the low level speaker outs from the head because of distortion. I would also use the Remote wire: (used to power on/off the new sub/amp White (solid) I was told that the sub has a built in amplifier. Hook up a positive to the battery terminal by the spare tire, and a ground somewhere on the sheet metel of the frame. If needed I could use a crossover between the head and subwoofer/amplifier. If the stock sub does not have a amplifier in it, I do have a sony 200watt amplifer that can install. Will this work??? Please advise. Comanche

You can definitely use the factory subwoofer from the DSP system, but it won't have the sound that you are after, since it only contains 2 puny 5.5" or 6" speakers (BMW calls them subwoofers where those should be mids for the rest of the worlds). I am 99% sure that the DSP system comes with a separate amplifier for the subs, so you will need an amplifier to drive those subs if you decide to use them. Besides, the enclosure and the subs are sold as one unit for about $300 bucks...for that kind of money, you can get a much, much better 10" sub. On the other hand, if you can find a DSP sub with enclosure at a junk yard, you can definitely modify the enclosure to be used with an 8" woofer, which I've heard sounds very decent. So, that's why you don't see anyone putting that OEM DSP sub into their X as a mod...it's just not worth the effort.
