Adding Subwoofer and Amp

igotaweinerdog · 09-03-2009, 02:57 PM

Alright so I have a 12" w6v2 and a jl 500/1 amp and a 2 farad capacitor that i want to add. I have the logic 7 sound system on an 06 330i

I was wondering if i can just go to a place and have it installed or if i need a signal processor.

any help is appreciated

There should be a lot of install shops around SD. You do not need a sound processor. I do not have one and it sounds good without one. However I hear that it will sound better with a JL CleanSweep. I do not think that you will need the capacitor for a 500 watt subwoofer but it shouldn't hurt.

alright thanks. I know plenty of install shops i just didnt want to go in there and have them BS me and tell me more stuff i "need" to buy.

I Just had this installed last week, no processor.

that looks sweet. How does it sound when you get up to high speeds? any different

don't bother w/ a clean sweep if you're just adding a sub. check this out from crutchfield.com, it's exactly what you would need for the sub and it's only $130.

Nice... I've heard of that before. Do you think it is a necessity? or will I be fine with out it? I found it on ebay brand new for 75, but im trying to keep costs down

iAerodynamic · 09-04-2009, 07:27 PM

igotaweinerdog · 09-05-2009, 03:00 PM
