Was looking at Crushfield and I love Focal subs. Sound very Deep bass. I had all focal system on my F02 loved it. i5 M60 could use it. I want one to fix 8” where the tray on right side of trunk or the port on the left side. Custom box make it as if came with it.

For the record, I'd gladly kick in a few bucks to buy you lunch or whatever if it frees up your time to make this happen. I've been putting subs in almost everything I've had since '88...

I'm hurtin' over here!

Looking forward to this. Just received my i5 M60 last week and while the soundstage is exceptional, the bass is severely lacking and overly reliant on the doors to handle the low frequency

When you get started, please do take a picture of the stock setup for us. Noone has yet revealed exactly where and what is installed stock for the trunk sub. Looking forward to hearing about your results.

Part Numbers or any other info?

I hope to get the parts in hand at the end of this month(?) and once all the testing is completed, I will update everyone here.
Can you share part numbers / where to order info? I have tricked up several BMW audio systems with the HK systems with custom 3D printed harness connectors and pins ordered direct from Tyco (2006 330, 2011 335, 2015 535i, 2016 550i), but my 2025 i5 M60 (picked up Friday) is my first go at a Bowers sytem. Any info you can provide on raw parts and power source locations would be awesome. This is my current AuDHD hyperfocus special-interest so I'm going to move fast - I would be incredibly grateful for any info you can provide (even if it's incomplete) to get me headed in the right direction. My first thoughts are bumping the front doors to a Focal 165KX3 3-way system that I already have, but I need to solve the amp wiring harness first so I can capture, DSP, and drive to higher power signal (JL LoC 22, Mosconi 6to8 Pro, and Morel 4.400 bridged to 2 channels) without cutting any factory wires...
