I'll be sure to report back with my learnings once complete.

Nice!

No harness? Just high jacking the signal from somewhere else?

Ah, sorry, by LC2i I meant the Technic adapter. Got that one with the LOC option included.

The sub itself is nothing special- just a 10 inch powered unit. I'm not that snobby

. I just needed more ooomph out of the HK system. Truthfully the sub is on a very very low level/volume.

You need a amp the one from bmw is under powered.

That’s good because the oem amp is way under powered.and it need more power for volume and better sound

For anyone with a JL Audio box, like the ones we have been circulating in this conversation...

Can you take a pic of your subs knobs so I can see how you have your level/gain, crossover, phase adjusted? I'm still waiting on my car but did test the sub out the other day.

It's got tons of bass at medium volumes then it basically disappears as you turn it up. Wanted to see how others were running theirs.
