d110.e39 for BMW 5 Series, M5 ’97-’03 – Standard Audio
We’re going to proceed as follows:
- Locating the factory amplifier
- Mounting the new amplifier
- Power connections for the new amplifier
- Audio inputs for the new amplifier
- Connecting the new amplifier to the new subwoofer enclosure
- Installing the new subwoofer enclosure
- Tuning/testing the new amplifier
Accessing the factory amplifier:
Simply fold down the compartment on the driver’s side of the trunk, and you’ll see the factory amplifier.
Here’s where we’ll be making our audio input connections:
Mounting your new Amplifier
You’ll want to start by first deciding exactly where you want to mount your new amplifier. From there, you’ll decide on appropriate paths to run your wiring.
The ideal location for the amplifier in our subwoofer system is directly in front of the factory amplifier, where the CD Changer is located above. Most vehicles do not have CD Changers, and if you do, well then it’s time for an iPod integration system!
We secure the new amplifier to the factory amplifier by Velcro strips. There are of course several other ways to do this, but we want to be as minimally invasive as possible. Since the majority of our wiring connections take place in this same area, the install is a breeze!
Power Connections to your New Amplifier: *Before you make any connections, we recommend disconnecting the negative battery terminal from the battery. This will eliminate any chance electrical damage to the vehicle.
You will want to strip back approximately ½” of insulation from the end of the power wire, the ground wire, and the remote turn on wire to allow for solid connections into the new amplifier. The set screw terminals on the new amplifier MUST make a solid connection with the copper wiring and NOT the insulation of the wires.
