BMW e39 Amplifier Wiring And LOC

[idusclothing]

What are the two different harnesses for that plug into the amp?

Looks like one harness controls the front and rear mids, and the other controls the tweeter and power/remote connections, but im not sure.

Thanks, Andrew

[MCapache4]

What kind of LOC is that?

[bavsound]

@MCapache4 Soundgate LOCPRO or LOC-X. Now we ship a different convertor with our systems.

[tekniikzX420]

i have a 93 325i e36 sedan with an aftermrket head unit, i thought i set everything up right but when i try to listen to subs the amp turns on for about 5 seconds, then turns off then on then into protect mode and repeat, it makes my subs "pulse" i thought i grounded everything and did everything right. but is there also a stock amp in my car also? i have no idea whats wrong, subs are not blown, idk about the amp tho plz help!

[bavsound]

@tekniikzX420 I'm sorry it's very difficult to diagnose such problems here. A local professional shop is likely to be most helpful. Yes you do have a factory amp for the speakers by the way. If you have purchased a product from Bavarian Soundwerks please contact the tech support ph or email at our site. Good luck!

@tekniikzX420 Try unplugging your speaker wires and tracing them back, make sure if the protect mode turns on you unplug the battery and wait a minute before trying again, my Amp continually cycled like that when i had mixed up the positive or negative wires of my front two speakers, the moment i unpluged them though the problem went away and i could listen again; so its fairly easy to discover a problem, maybe your subs have been wired wrong?

thanks to urs tutorials i did install my system on my touring 528it with no problems thanks alot.....

[BastardRevolver]

I dont see how the factory speakers reach back thru the factory amp?

[BastardRevolver]

@sirbinni t-taps get a better connection than t-ing with butt connectoers??

[BastardRevolver]

Heard these LOC's create alot of outside noise.....Is there a premium one that wont?

[bavsound]

@BastardRevolver The LOCs we provide with relevant kits have been chosen for their low-noise and compatibility with BMW wiring.

@bavsound What if i decide to install the aftermarket amp and sub without using Loc will it harm my system. Can I just tap into those signal wires and turn on wire and run them straight to amplifier will that work ok.

[bavsound]

@SoulMusicians It depends on the preamp of your amplifier. It may work but it could also fry your components. It's more risky to not use an LOC.

wow please dont tell me the line out converter attachs on to this thing? im trying to wire the line out converter to the acual deck

[2003bmw530i]

were would be the best choice to get an amphlifire like that for my 2003 bmw 530i? btw the video is really good! great job

[flyboyy]

I have a 2003 E39 530i... it has DSP... the amp you have is different then mine... do I follow the way you did to the harness ? also do I follow your wire colors ? brown-orange (-) / blue-black (+)(Right Rear) and brown-orange(-) / yellow-black (+) (Left Rear)

these wires on my car on the same hardness as yours but its towards front of the car....

and the White wire for remote is located on the hardness is located in the back harness.

let me know thank you....

and your videos ROCK!!!

Question: Why is all most bundles of wire in a car covered with fuzzy tape?

[Rbrownsword]

To stop them rubbing and shorting out I would guess.

[mistermofo28]

i installed my LOC to the other wire harness the one with the white remote wire

tapping into right/left rear woofer siganls

[bondoguy]

Great video here i wanted to know i want to do this to my 01 740il with nav and dsp would i use the same color coded wires to tap into the speakers?

[pahhhoul]

Halston told me what a LOC is. Line Output Converter and which one was used in the vid. SoundGate LOC Pro. Why was the front input tapped into rather than the rear?

[pahhhoul]

All of your videos are great! You guys provide so much info that I just can't wait to work on my car. I've spent hours searching forums on how to do this amp install. This video is perfect. One question, what does LOC stand for?
