BMW 428i (F32) Amp and Sub Wiring/Install

A quick video showing how I installed my 1000watt amp and 2 12 inch subs in my 2014 BMW 428i. I still have to go through and upgrade connectors and secure the wires neatly. Please leave a comment and ask a question if you need me to go into more detail. I'll get back to you ASAP. Thanks!

FOR REMOTE WIRE, USE A FUSE TO TAP INTO IN THE FUSE PANEL IN THE TRUNK. I DON'T REMEMBER WHICH ONE I USED BUT IT COMES "ON" WHEN THE CAR IS TURNED ON..... So... It's a switch to run the remote to your amp. Cut a thin wire for your remote, shove it in the fuse prong when you shove the fuse back in the holder, then that wire will now be your remote power on wire. I think I used the "Power Mirror" wire on mine but don't recall... you'll have to use a test light to test each fuse to find one that comes ON when you start the car. This is how you create a remote power on for all cars with no remote out on stock factory radios. Hope that helps!!!

[@speedstr]

you’re wrong all 5 fuses are energized when the ignition is off what are you talking about?

[@StarrDon]

Which wire you used for the remote wire to switch the amp on. After market radio come with it. Its usually a thin 12v remote wire. That would be very much helpful. And to clarify im not talking about the batter power source

[@jeremysuit6957]

Im doing to same thing but my amp isnt coming on what coukd it be ? Im using the kicker loc2 ive got a 2008 bmw 535i. The line out converter has the 12v remote on it

[@MillerTheRancher]

I would have to see your setup or wiring to diagnose, unfortunately. Amps need a 12v constant to work so it probably has something to do with that.

Hi, I have a F36 418d but I do not seem to have a factory amp is that possible? I removed everything from the left side pannel but it is just an empty space. So now I am not able to locate the subwoofer cables from under the seat. Can the factory amp be placed somewhere else? or can it be that my car does not have a factory amp?
Thank you in advance!

[@rofflesufunny]

thanks for this video, those other guys never show the amp swap.

[@rofflesufunny]

5th try at a video.

[@MillerTheRancher]

No problem! Glad I could help.

[@fwhipplee]

Do you have the Harmon kardon set up?

[@ballislifeali6985]

Would this work for a 2015 428i gran coupe?

[@drumidrumi60]

halloo 1 question my oem amp is blown water went into it can i still putt a aftermarket amp in my F36 440i 2019 pulling the oem out of the car??? car has no sound atall

[@JiSamuAbdur-Rahman]

I didn’t see were the remote line went to turn off the amp when you turn on and off the radio.

[@blackbrownandthai136]

Hi so did you completely disconnect the subs underneath? Or are they still working?

[@kaamiljahmezjaanfoster5795]

I got my 2017 528i hooked up with 2 10 DS18 on a sundown 1750D amp but it’s not loud. Do I need a bass knob ? How can I get it louder ?Do I need a DSP ?

[@Fordemups]

Cheers man

[@themainheadhoncho3218]

Hey bro you ever find out whats the screwdriver for? I know that other part is for pulling the car into the flat bed, but the screwdriver i have no idea. The tool set by the battery

[@a.j.chertos5926]

I can’t find my remote wire, I have a f32

[@Oceanstole_Soul]

How did you keep the other subs working properly if you just snipped the wires to route the line out converter? Should you have used a T connector instead?

[@MillerTheRancher]

I didn't snip the wires I used T taps! The just tap into the wire without disturbing the original connection.

[@mm2711]

Could you please tell me colure code of polarity. Speakers/subwoofer
Thx

[@TimRomanPhotography]

Do you know if the stock subwoofer amp has any gain adjusment?

[@justinwallace3848]

I don’t think so

[@thomstef4123]

Hi, nice video but after this does your under seat factory subs still working? Or only the aftermarket sub?

[@MillerTheRancher]

Yep! Other subs still function.

[@xiapong6277]

Are you using your stock deck?

[@ethaninocando]

Do you have harmon kardon or hifi?

[@knightrida6829]

remote wire ? we're

[@mb5781]

Just purchase the low pass audio converter with automatic on/off. It automatically turns on the amp when it senses power from the OEM speakers when you turn them on and turns back off when power to the speakers aren’t present. It’s the little black box he shows tied into the OEM speaker wire harness

[@dixondoughty3121]

Is adding an amd and subs to your Beemer bad for the vehicle

[@dixondoughty3121]

I have a 2015 bmw 328 I want to add subs

[@MillerTheRancher]

Hey there. So it depends on how big a setup you have. A really big system could drain your battery and overwork your alternator. It could also blow fuses and cause other things not to work. I don't have any issues with my setup because it doesn't require that much power. Although in the future ill probably add a capacitor and a better fuse just to be safe.

[@JiSamuAbdur-Rahman]

Yeah I always add a capacitor to my systems just to ensure that I don’t damage the battery cells even though I like using gel batteries.

F36* is grandcoupe

[@jaymac6292]

Sooo sloppy. Not impressed

[@MillerTheRancher]

I just wanted bass, not to impress anyone.

[@JiSamuAbdur-Rahman]

I like that job and because everything is hidden, it looks great.

[@deeznutz8891]

Thank man!!

[@Codystroupe]

What’s up man.. I’ve got a couple questions do you by chance have Facebook..?

[@danikri8433]

How will this work if you have harman/kardon sound system?
