The RCA wire I tapped on the 'output' side of the factory amp for the stock subs. Basically I grabbed the wires coming off the factory harness and spliced there.

I don't have the pics either but I can take some from my car. It's pretty simple, just follow his write up.

Pictures would be great.

The only thing I need help with is the wires that he tapped into at the sub for taking the signal to the new amp.

I ahve a Logic 7 system in my X5 with the center channel. Everything else I have a good handle on.

Thanks so much.

Another question, is it possible to pick up the INPUT signal to the amp, rather than picking up the subwoofer outlet signal? From an SQ, perspective, it would be ideal to pick up the raw signal before it has passed through an equalizer and suffered amplifier distortion.

This isn't possible from What I understand because the signal From The hu isn't optical, not analogue.

If you have google photos you can make them public and share the link here. Or you can copy the google photos link and use a third party website to embed. This is what I use: https://ctrlq.org/google/photos/

I'll pm you with my email now. Really appreciate you taking the time to snap a few pics.
