So I found an ancient mini subwoofer with build in amp.
It's only 40w but I think it will make the difference.
It's the folloing module ts-lx40 pioneer

When you use google chrome you can translate the chinese:devil:
Here you can see all the connections
On another site I found (in polisch, use chrome) a guy who clames to know the scematics
http://www.bmw-klub.pl/forum/viewtopic.php?f=73&t=57918
He clames the power and switched power, as well as the radio feed could go by the round connector. I bought a 8p din 270° male connector, wich connects to the round hole.
If I would use the scematics he posted then I would be able to put a direct feed from the battery and a switched power from the radio.
But... The guy at the electronics store said it wouldn't run 12v in the din connector. It's not capable of doing this.
So I could use the other 2 connectors.
First +12 and -12V
second L+L- and R+R-
If I would do this last, and would be the easyest I wouldn't be able to turn the amp off without a switch or relais. This is a must!
I tried finding scematics of the pioneer but without luck. I don't want to find out the hard way the pinout of the din connector would be wrong.
So basicly I have 2 questions:
First: does anyone know how to hook this sub up correctly?
Second: Can I get a switched power from the car that can handle 40W 3A
Currently I have my radio switched off with the switched power behind the little clock. But I don't beleave this little cable will be able to power the sub.
Second thought is the +12v switched that goes to the electrical antenne.
Or use any of those, in combination with a relais to switch the sub on and off when I switch on egnition or radio.
I will be installing the sub in the area where the airco normally sits. heres plenty of room. Just not the ideal acoustic place. Under the seat wont go, and behind the seats is no option.
Sorry for my jiberisch enlish:devil:
