M4 2015 Convertible Sub Amp Location and type?

[DrT71]

I finally want to upgrade my sound.

I have been researching sound upgrades for my HK systems (mostly on this forum) and it seems this seems like the path I want to try.

Bavsound stage 1
technics Add a Sub harness with LC2i
SWS underseat with technics adapter rings
Audio Control ACR1 Remote
Sub Amp (to be determined)

So now I have a question.

I haven't seen any info on a m4 convertible.

Has anyone found a place to put the amp without having it taking space in the trunk?

If so, what amp and where?

Thanks

I ended up putting my Rockford Fosgate PBR300x1 and Audio Control LC2i right above the stock HK amp. There's more than enough space to put a compact amp under the lining in that area.

And I positioned the audio control so I could access it through the plastic panel on that side.

I went with Bavsound Stage 1, Bavsound Ghostsubs and the amp is running a 10in JL Audio PowerWedge.

I'm here to help if you've got any questions.

Thanks so much. Looks like that works well.

Would happen to have a picture of how you set up the wedge in your trunk?

Sure! Cargo cover up, cargo cover down and pic of LC2i through opening.

Nice fit and great implementation with limited real sub options in the vert!

Could you please list the model of the JL Wedge that you are using?

Thanks!

It's a good fit without taking up too much room and really good base response. I purchased 2 small L shaped brackets from Lowe's to keep it stabilized against rear seat.

Much appreciated! Thank-you!

This sounds like a great route to take! I might suggest just going for it and making the amp a 5-channel to drive everything if you're going to go through the effort of installing an amp, so that everything benefits from more power with a really minimal amount of additional effort.

Also, let me know if there's anything I can do to help as well!

Hello I was wondering if you have the diagram for this installation?

This is great
Thanks for bumping this, haven’t seen much in the way of additions to the convertible
