all with aftermarket sub-woofer in the X5
I want to add a sub to the X5. Im going with the JL audio SBB-X5E70. Also going with the JL audio XD300/1 amp. Its only a 300 watt amp but as sensitive as the electronics are in these BMW´s I really don’t want to tax the electrical system. I definitely don’t want to see any headlight dimming when the bass hits. Who has successfully added a sub + amp to there X5 without any problems with the electrical system or headlight dimming? What size amp do you have? Did you have to add a capacitor?

I have not added a sub but i have looked into it. Crutchfield has a pretty nice JL set up specifically for the X5.
Check it out

I have a 500w kicker amp on a 12in solobaric. No dimming. Sounds great.

i think you will be completely fine with anything around the 500w range.
I plan on putting in a JL 12w6 with a JL 500w amp in my 2012 X5M, JL makes a great product. with a 300w amp, i doubt the X5 will even notice its in there, you will be fine... just get someone to install it who knows what they are doing, that's more important |

is there a plug and play harness for X5 to avoid cutting and slicing of wires.
I know technik had some for e90 but I am not sure if he makes something for X5 as well... any ideas ?
