[QUOTE="Paul Curtis, post: 8874580, member: 691243"] Really appreciate the response. So it sounds like really the amp will be the best next step. I don't know whether the head unit of this BMW would be rated to drive the woofers at 2 ohm. And in fact the signal is split at the woofer side with some dodgy cross over to the mids in the door and tweeters - so that power is spread even more. One of the benefits of the amp is to drive these separately. I have a feeling that the head is 25w and the amp is 8 x 65w, the speakers are rated at 150w. So bridging the amp gives 130w per underseat and that would be plenty... I hope.. Now to find some sample installs so I can learn! thanks Paul [/QUOTE]
