how would this sound in a bmw trunk i have a 95 840ci and looking to add some bass nothing crazy just enough for me not to rattle the whole car

I think it would sound better than my set up since yours would be in the trunk and not in the cab like mine. Bass is nice and tight. But if your looking for something that hits hard, keep looking.

i have this in a Nissan Frontier under my back seat and i think it sounds great. Not too much base at all, no rattling of anything, but there when you need it. I have it hooked up to a JX250 JL Audio Monoblock amp.

Awesome. That's what i was looking for, sound quality not loudness, and it surpassed my expectations. You will love it.

I have an X3 and I powered it with this: Alpine MRV-M500 Mono V-Power Digital Amplifier Alpine MRV-M500 Mono V-Power Digital AmplifierI have it turned way down and this sub kicks. It's very tight and punchy. As for in a trunk, just turn the gain up a little and it should have no problem.

I don't own the car you do, but I can vouch the the sub can put some real bass into a sedan. It is also possibly small enough to stash near or under a seat. But overall bass performance will also relate to what you are listening to. Personally, for best results, I'd probably get two and make sure you have about 200 watts. But the sub can really hold its own most of the time.

I have it in a Honda accord and it's just perfect, you can adjust the bass as high as you want from your radio. it's small enough to fit anywhere. I give it 5 stars

Its worth a try. Subs sound different in every car or truck so its tough to say what would sound best. Play the same 2 or 3 songs with the sub facing the back and then turned upward and see which sounds best to you

Anything is possible but why would you want to. I'm sure you could intercept either the high or low input speaker leads to insert this JL clean sweep but you would need a JL HD digital amplifier to do this right with the signal processing you will need once you've cut into either one of these signals. Not exactly sure where you would in this type of car / system due to the complexity of the 7.1 audio system in that type of car. Adding this device to give you more subs would be the only reason for finding an installer smart enough to cut into this system. Its a toss up whether or not this will have a negative result by adding to this system. Once you've added an amp to this system there could be distortion issues with the surround sound system. A cheap amp is going to create issues with current draw which can steal current from the surround sound BMW amplifiers. The JL HD amps will solve this but it would be a good idea to change your battery to a jell core Optima type battery to stiffen the current draws for the amps. You will only be able to control these subs with the separate volume control knob that comes with the clean sweep and not through the dash or steering wheel controls. These clean sweep products are only for those cars with stock OEM head units and the owner of the car doesn't want to install some crazy in dash unit but they want to add an after market system for there cars. This isn't meant for what your situation to be honest. If you can afford that car and aren't happy with the system then wreck the entire system out and rewire it to a competition standard. Easiest way to have a guaranteed loud and clear system. But that's just me. Hopefully this helps. If you have more questions just fire away.

absolutely I have two of the same subs running off of that very same amp. I have them in a 89 mercury Grand Marquis in a custom-built ported box the takes up the whole trunk when it was built to specs of the subs. For your truck I would suggest a sealed box unless you don't care about having any space left over. But that's just my opinion. Either way you put it, this setup will thunder. Beware hearing damage may occur. Lol

It depends on what kind of vehicle its going into. Personally I like ported boxes for a car trunk. It makes ur bass stand a little taller and sounds cleaner for a suv I like a porter box "rear firing" and a truck cab I like a sealed box "downward fireing". The box ur adking about sounded great in my prelude

It might not have the sound you want if you put it in your trunk. You would need a very good speaker with lots of power. It is only for a 10 in woffer. I have mine under the back seat in a van with a 100 watt amp. It sounds good for me.

I think you'd be happy with this unit. In my Ram, I have mine mounted under the back seat. There's a dial mounted on my dash to control the sub level. I think it goes to 10. The Geek Squad guys set it to 2.5 and I rarely need to have it any higher. Nice thing is, the bass on my stereo speakers is now at -2, so the sub saves the wear and tear on the door speakers while providing that rich, full sound and good bass.

I have this in my Acura Rsx and it has a bass controller in the box which I wired up under my seat. If it's all the way up you can hear it but it's not crazy. But I usually have it lower to get perfect bass

Worked fine for me with bass control knob for 208. I have similar set up in an SUV and was worried 300 watts would under power subs but they sound great to me. Would 500 watts to the sub sound better? Technically perhaps they would but I am picky about sound and am happy with 300 watts which according to my research is within the preferred range of power. Plenty of power for moderate listening levels. If you are into rap and need to boom or listen at very high volume then perhaps not.

If you have experience installing 12v car audio, this should give you no trouble. It has power, ground, and turn-on wire for activating the internal amp. Comes with plenty of speaker wire as well. Just keep in mind this is not a high powered sub so don't expect tons of thump. For small spaces, it will deepen and warm up the low frenquencies. If you want more bass, try a powered Bazooka 10" or the Blaupunkt powered 10". Mine was installed in a travel tralier and it works fine in that application.

You dont, but definitely sounds better with a clean 50 watt or high per channel amp.I have them in 2 cars one right off the head unit and the other off an alpine 4 X 50 watt amp.

It depends on the quality of your speakers. It sounds fine with the stock speakers I have in my car.

Sherry, I cant tell you if these would be a direct fit. there may be modification involved to make them fit physically in the car. There is also a question of whats called impedence or ohm value compatability. if the impedence of these woofers differs too much from the blown factory woofer the sub may seem way louder or way less volume than the factory sub. in a worst case scenerio if the impedence is too far off damage to factory amp will occour. All I can say for certain is my experience with these woofers is exceptional ESPECIALLY considering the price. Although I can't spell I'am a Factory Certified Level 1 BMW Diagnostic Technician with a background in audio spanning 23 years.

Hi Vivienne, if you want a little bit of extra bass you can put 6x9 in the back of your car and connect to your stereo, if you want a strong bass, then these are quite good and they look fantastic, this box doesn't have an amplifier, you will need a mono amp that generates at least 400 watts rms at 2 ohms or at least 300 watts rms at 4 ohms to play them well. I had them for 2 years.

HelloI installed this on a 2006 Chrysler 300 and fit well and sound great, they will sound great if you running an amp for your highs. If you use just stereo they won't be as loud. I would Google what size your stock speaker size is and go from there.
