Amp and sub install?

I have a 2011 x6 and I'm looking to install a separate sub and amplifier. Is there a DIY somewhere? I figure if I just run power to the amp and ground it that is easy, but where do I get the RCA input and remote turn on? Can I just tap into the existing factory amp under seat subwoofer output and convert to RCA for input to my amp? How about the remote turn on though?

Amp and sub install?

Hi, I'm in the same boat.
Ive bought a high-low convertor called the Cache Cloc D. I've figured out a broad plan but cant find where to tap into a remote cable for the amp. Any help would be appreciated - thx

Hello,

First thing get a high end hi-level input like an SLOC ($100). Everything you need to tap into is in the left compartment in the back rear drivers side. My installers tapped into the main input before the amp so that I have constant sub level and not dependent on front/rear fade settings. Also doing it this way allows the built in EQ to work. They mounted my amp in the stow away compartment and gave me a long lead to the 12" sub as well as mounting my bump knob in the strange little indented area in the center council. The B & O system is more than enough to run the rest of the speakers. Only need to add a sub and amp...it sounds amazing. I have been in car stereo for over 30 years and my X6M has he best factory staging I have ever heard...just needs a sub. Total cost for a decent 400w mono amp, sub and enclosure should be less than $800 at any shop except if you are in So-Cal.

Cheers
