Bang and Olufsen (B&O) Subwoofer / Amplifier Add-On DIY

I won't requote the pictures but...

- did you have to relocate the BO Unit for that enclosure?
- where did you patch into the factory system? the BO wires? or directly into the existing sub wires
- where did you get the enclosure

Not my system but I can see that he relocated the factory amp as well as the new amp to the bottom of the package tray. Using a LOC (line out converter) you can tap the wires into the factory subwoofer and that box looks to definitely be a custom made enclosure. Only thing I would suggest to Dirty Jersey is to remove the factory B&O sub itself...... it will sound much better as the new sub will cause the B&O sub (if it's still hooked up) to be inaccurate along with not allowing for the air of the new sub to pass into the cabin of the car. I initially tried to use my new sub with the B&O hooked up, without it hooked up and completely removed....... completely removed made a world of difference.

the JL Amp he is running has a built-in LO converter that would work well enough to be used.

everything else you said is spot on.

your installer has to the tools and knowledge to figure out if the line going into the BO amp is high or low and can go from there also.

I know that some amps have the built in LOC...... wasn't sure if that one did so I mentioned the LOC to the guy making the inquiry.
