DIY - Adding an Amp and Subwoofer
A couple of months back, I created this thread:
http://www.1addicts.com/forums/showthread.php?t=296110 Because of it, I came in contact w/ two different guys, whom w/ out I could have never done this; jtsherri & TPLSM3 After reading my thread, TPLSM3 decided to produce and sell more boxes like his and jtsherri was the first one who took him up on it and created a very detailed review, to which now after installing mine, I can say, I fully agree. Great quality product, for a very fair price. So thank you to the both of you. My buddy Haris came over today and we decided to give it a shot since jtsherri, thru PMs helped me a lot on how to go about doing it and TPLSM3 provided precise details on how to mount his box So lets get started:
Finally a big THANKS to Haris for doing most of the hard work (the wiring) |

Awesome write up Jose!! Glad everything worked out well. I think running the W6 & 500/1 amp is the best setup for our cars. The amp honestly looks like it belongs there. Definitely a clean setup for those of us that don't want a huge box in the trunk!

just went out and tuned the amp w/ the help of Jason (jtsherri) and my trusty aquemini cd. let me tell ya, it sound amazing, its so clear w/ a nice bit of bass
the gain was set way up initially from my previous car and it didnt sound very well in the 1er w/ after some tweaking, it came out great! |

i dont know what inputs the low pass filter you are using has so i cant say.
the pac unit comes w/ a spec sheet detailing what each wire is if you have the same, look at this post for info on what each wire on the logic7 amp has http://www.e90post.com/forums/showpo...66&postcount=1 |

i have the exact same setup on a 2010 6 speaker system... JL 500/1 powering a jl 10w6v2 and TPLSM3 enclosure, i just used the JL stereo to rca cable
http://www.crutchfield.com/p_136CLR2...W.html?tp=2610 and hooked it from the rear speakers straight to the amp, no PAC or anything, the JL amp does a good job at filtering low/high inputs and frequencies... now i just need to get some tweets in the car :P |

i'm really impressed w/ this set up. i normally keep it on -3 or zero if i want a lil more boom. anything +4 or higher is crazy but still sounds fairly clean. |

i also tried the JL recommended settings for max boom lol... pretty impressive for what 1 10 can do, these settings are for 2 subs though, but it seems to work pretty well...

Killer write up and pics Escobar, appreciate it!
(Even if I have no immediate plans to upgrade, it's cool to see the process and what the guts of our 1-er look like.) |

I didn't have the Logic amp behind the rear side panel...but tapped into the appropriate wires described in the schematic in the same area. Worked the first time and sounds great!!!
Thanks for a wonderful write-up! Much appreciated.
