My roommate gave me a free sub/amp and I know nothing about this stuff since i’m not really into it. Is anyone willing to help me install it in my Bimmer? Its just one 12" sub and amp. I have an aftermarket Pioneer headunit installed if it matters? Thanks in advance.

not sure how much power your amp is, you probably want to the 4 awg power and ground cable kit though.

I’d be more than happy to help you out with the install so long as the weather is good (or you have a warm place to do it). I’m not certified or anything, but I always do my work clean, safe, and hidden- no half assing.

Grab yourself a wiring kit, some of the loop or fork connectors (depending on the size and shape of the holes for the audio connection), and bring your tools and anything else specific to taking apart parts of the BMW.

We’ll get it done on a Sat or Sun.
