Still waiting on the subs and amps. Speaker wire should be here tomorrow so I can at least get 2 of the 3 speakers installed in the front and the two in the rear doors.

Taps I just do not trust. I went after the factory amp. But after talking to some people I will not need the JL nor the MTX. I will take pics and explain tonight.

so your going with a deck instead? or why did you say your not going to need th jl or mtx processor anymore?

The factory head unit outputs a pre out signal. One that is clean enough to be used for new amps. All that is needed is to use those wires and wire in rca female connectors and than run them to your new amps. The only pain is finding those wires. The bmw amp outputs 12 channels of audio "I believe that is what I read" so even with a JL clean sweep you would still not be able to get a full pass signal from any of the wires.
