Easy powered sub options?
How difficult is the addition of a powered trunk sub to the back of an F22 with Harmon Kardon? I would like something I could keep back there most of the time but take out when I need additional luggage space.
I'm a little frustrated with my audio again and feel like the Ghost woofers were a total waste of money. |

It's not difficult, but there are a few options for custom sub enclosures that tuck into the pocket in the back left corner if you are willing to spend more money and time for a cleaner install.
I've got one from musicar and it's fantastic. There is minimal lose of trunk space and there is no situation I would imagine it necessary to remove, but if need be it has a quick disconnect. |

Buy the technic add a sub harness, a cheap mono amp, a good subwoofer and a box from this guy:
https://www.ebay.com/itm/BMW-2-SERIE...72.m2749.l2649 Take it to a good audio shop and have them install it. Takes up hardly any luggage room--especially if you get the 10 inch sub version which I have. And you can take it out if you really need the room by just sliding it out of the side pocket area and unhooking the speaker wires. |

I added a compact JL. I didn't do the install, but the local shop did it quite quickly.

Yeah. They're still in the car but other than make the bass a little more musical the difference isn't exactly night and day. For nearly $600 you would expect dramatic differences but nope. I've had them for a year. I really hate that whole stereo.

I put a powered sub (it was around 200w) in the trunk of our E46 way back, it was barely noticeable. Does your setup make a big difference in your F22? Thanks!

I installed a JL 10” powered sub. I don’t know the model, I got it from Crutchfield. I got the add a sub harness from https://technicpnp.com.
It took maybe 1 hour to do the install and that was taking my time. I swear it took me longer to get the weather seal back in place. I ended up lightly tapping it back with a rubber mallet. Follow the instructions for trunk carpet removal: . It’s really really simple. Just a note that I didn’t find anywhere. You’ll get a low pass signal with that sub harness. So on my “amp”, I just turned the crossover up to 120hz. Otherwise, you’re crossing over the signal twice. |
