Sub Install
Really happy so far with the decision to install another sub. The floor bottom was taken out so there was more room to build a larger box. I cut the front part, so the batteries wouldn't show when you opened the trunk bottom. The best thing about the install is the bass knob. I can increase/decrease the level of the sub based on songs/genres.

Nice setup, congrats. That looks like a ton of air space for that sub.

Harness: Harness for HK (Option 688) Add-a-Sub Harness for RAM/Booster audio systems Enclosure (sold at many online stores): JL Audio ACS110LG-TW1 There is also an 8" ported version that will fit. Remote volume (optional): JL Audio RBC-1 Wire: You'll need a few feet of good power/ground wire, some terminal ends, and an in-line fuse. If you don't want to find them separately you can buy a cheap amp kit, something like this: Amp kit 8-guage

I used fuse 218 (ASD) since I had pulled the fuse to disable I figured I would give it a real purpose in sound I still used an "add a fuse" but do not have a fuse in the slot which controls the ASD. I have a lot of details in my thread about my sub/amp/LOC install I'm using the AudioControl LC2i. The tech support was phenomenal - and they had noted that the "GTO" (great turn on, aka: signal sensing) did not work well on BMWs. Perhaps this is the same with your LOC. |

Can I please confirm what I'll need to install the following JL Microsub+ in terms of wiring it? 2018 X3 M40i with Harman Kardon.
https://www.crutchfield.com/p_136933...v3.html?tp=114 FYI - I also have the remote knob for this setup. I see someone posted this: https://technicpnp.com/product/hk-op...oster-systems/ Do I have the right one chosen? What is this "LOC" a bunch of you have mentioned? Should I get the version with or without "LOC"? |

Edit, that JL does accept high level but I would check to see if it can work within the wattage of the HK BMW system: Audio Inputs: The amplifier section will accept either a line level (RCA) or speaker level signal. A 12" speaker level input harness is included. |

I’m ok with taking up like 70% of my trunk space (JL bandoass with a W7) because I use my truck if I have to haul stuff. |

What’s the benefits of that connector setup versus an Audiocontrol LC2i and a more traditional install? Is it because this stuff is fully plug and play so you don’t have to run the power and remote wires?

clarification please!!!
so, did you use ACS110LG-TW1 Depth: 5-1/8" (5-7/8" including grille) OR ACP110LG-TW1 because the image with the measurements is for ACP110LG-TW1 witch is a ported one and it's deeper Depth: 6-5/8" (7-3/8" including grille) how is the lid??? did it closed?
Thank you |
