Good day everyone.. I just saw the video and I noticed that you already made the mod for releasing the air pressure from the original jbl subwoofers (honestly that should have been done by Toyota). Is it worth adding an additional subwoofer so 3 are constantly banging or did you cancel the stock JBLs? Please forgive my question

I would install the 12" again, if I had to start again. The stock subs don't sound like subs at all. Admittedly, my 12" is on about 25%, because I like my bass to be where it should be.

Nice Video.. Did you have any problems with loud humming sounds related to the Active Noise Cancellation (ANC)? also the Active Sound Design deactivation? I

I did and I turned it all off with binmercode. Now it's perfect.

Hi Great video. Thank you for sharing. So that +Purple/Yellow -Green/black +White/Black -Blue/Black would only give out low frequency for woofers right? I am thinking to tap in to cables like you did for an amp to run a pair of 6x9 and 12 inch Sub. I assume I should use full range signals from rear speakers behind seat right ( not woofer signals in my case) ?

The signals I tapped into were post-oem-amp. So the factory amp has already made it's changes. You could tap from the same area. Just make sure it's the wiring going to the amp (not from the amp like I did). Obviously you will still get head unit alterations (unsure what, if anything, BMW/Toyota did with headunit output), but that would be your most untouched signals. So yep - I'd do what your plan is :)

I’m getting exhaust noises from the woofer

Yeh man, you need Bimmercode (or a friend with it) to turn off Active Sound Design.

So you didn’t use an amp?

This is a powered sub. So yeh, there is an amp inside the box. That's why it needed a power, ground and remote wire. Speakers without an amp do not need those wires.

@@ezahmed1 - hey man, we did take the line-out from the OEM subs. We took it from the side (same wires), which has very easy access, rather than removing the subs and taking from there (same process, but more removing). Rather than welding, if that's too hard, you could use T Clamps for your wires. The install would be sooo much quicker and easier (But I prefer welds). Here is a T Clamp: m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61KiQ4aoWIL._AC_UF894,1000_QL80_.jpg

Why not just replace and upgrade the two existing factory subs.. it would make the install look a lot cleaner instead of adding a third sub box that is now adding more weight and taking up all the space?

Definitely valid points. The sound of a 12" sub has a very different sound to a 10" subwoofer. For me - I'm not fussed on weight/space - I don't race the Supra and I have a dual-cab when I need space. But for someone who is happy with 10"s would certainly be happy to use the factory boxes.
