Bmw E39 Amplifier Wiring Diagram
I've installed probably 20-30 successful sound systems.however with the sensitive electrical system in my 97 528i I am a but hesitant. Is there anything I should know before getting started? I have a kicker distribution block coming directly off my battery positive post and a grounding lug directly off the negative post. Is this a good idea?
I know it probably sounds like a stupid question, but no sound is worth damaging my car's electrical system so I have to ask. Also.Ill be running 1000w rms in a 1ohm load. Basically, I'm just wanting to know is there anything that I should do differently than I would if I were doing an install in, say.a chevy s-10??? Should I run a kinetik battery with isolator??? Or can I just go with the set up I have??? Thanks everyone for taking the time.

Do the big 3 upgrade but use 2ga wire not the 0ga. Im going to do my 97 740il if you need some help me hit my up 0k i own my own car audio business so its comes easy to me and us over here. Over 10 yrs n the game.
Let me knw man. Thanks speedking, will do! I never use caps (people who understand dc voltage know that a cap is worthless). Viva caligula game. My amp arrives Teusday.
I'm going with the 1ohm load. I'll definitely ground to strut tower (thanks! ) and I will stay up if I have any other questions. Thanks again! I sold my mtx ta81001 amp ugh my baby. Every one of my systems rocked.
After sold that to a installer of mine. I got a mtx ta7801 if you know anything about these amps once u get one u hold onto them for good. Top amps from mtx. Mtx 92001, 81001 and 7801. Super amps for mtx. That te4001d is a killer too. But im not paying that much for a amp.
Not doing drags so dont need that much. Dont know if im gettin mtx subs i want the t810-44 subs or the 9500s but dont wanna spend that much right now. But im going 10s most diff. For my highs right now i got a audiobahn A6601x 6 channel.
But i mite sell for right price i want another amp for my highs. I got dragster audio 5.25 componet sets in the doors.
O yea pioneer sph-da01 appradio double din radio too going in today. I also got another one for sale brand new if u want it. Im using the metra 5 series dash kit and metra wiring harness ebay man got the factory mids n tweeters if u need some. But sq sucks and so do the spl. Ur paying for the name more then the preformance and stuff. Like the warranty alone with the name ur paying for. And the warranty aint all that.
I would had wit with mtx or something more better in sq and spl. But thats just me. And i got a audiobahn 6 channel.
And i got a jensen mono block. And i got a VME mono block. The VME is a knock off of the audiopipe amps. They use the same parts as audiopipe and everything just a cheaper company makes them. But they last a good time. Plus u can get audiopipe to repair if anything does mess up. Since they use same parts.
I got alot of amps. Tell me ur budget and i can see what i got in that range. But sq sucks and so do the spl. Ur paying for the name more then the preformance and stuff.

Tell me ur budget and i can see what i got in that range The spl is still acceptable for my cheap ears tho lol, but for sq havent try get into that yet cuz I know sq systems r really expensive lol. Amn you got the whole audio show there lol. My budget is 100-150 how much to ship it to Cali? Sorry speed, but I STRONGLY disagree. JL Audio makes EXCELLENT subs, from w3 on up is gonna be worth every penny. They are power whores though. Best get a Good powerful amp to push them.
I had 800w rms on one 10' w7 that set every car alarm off on my street and the spl and clarity was amazing. They key is LOTS of CLEAN power. Don't try to use a 5000w power acoustic amp that gives you closer to 500w or clean power. Choose 800-1000 watts from an alpine, kicker or jL audio amp. Just try it, if you're unsatisfied I'll buy it back from ya.
OK i have a amp for u the vme amp. Just got a couple in stock. Today sorry was busi today installing systems.
Was a man short. So in the field i go. The price for that will be 150 plus 20 for shipping. And ok not to knock jl. But from me being in the car audio game for over ten yrs.
Yes they make good amps. But for the price yu paying for them. You can get some better brands. Like dd or sundown or even hertz. Or tc sounds or sound splinters. Keep it real. Yes they power hungry subs.
But the spl can be better and the sq is nothing nor close to real subs. Not trying knock who got them. But none of my customers would buy them. I have more customers asking for real audio subs. DD Sundown Audioque, MTX, RE audio and more high end subs.
