Want to add more life and energy to your music WITHOUT
giving up your trunk? Add a BSW subwoofer system!
Designed as a 100% complete, easy to install
BMW subwoofer upgrade kit, our d110 BMW E39 Subwoofer System
provides a simple, easy way to add a subwoofer (or replace your existing
subwoofer) and dramatically enhance the impact, liveliness, and energy
of your audio system without having to change any other components
in your BMW -- because our d110 subwoofer system is engineered specifically
for your exact BMW.
the how and why of bass in your BMW
Fully 1/3rd of all recorded music is below 80Hz (this is called bass!) Almost
no interior component speaker can reproduce sound below 80Hz without
high levels of distortion (some CAN reach to around 60Hz, but that's really
the lower limit). The cheap paper drivers BMW uses in their audio systems are
no certainly no exception to this rule.
Why? High output bass production requires that a speaker physically
moves a great deal of air relative to what's required for higher frequencies.
This air movement is accomplished in either or both of the following two ways:
- High Excursion: Excursion refers to how far a speaker can
move in or out from its resting state. The smaller the speaker, the larger
the amount of excursion required to produce bass output -- and vice versa.
However, a small driver with high excursion is far less efficient than a larger
driver with lower excursion (require TONS of power from the amplifier) and
is very impractical in a car audio situation due to the space required in
front of such a driver to accomodate the movement. (It's also difficult to
design a very high excursion driver that remains accurate at the limits of
its movement).
- Large Cone Surface: As the cone surface area of a speaker
increases, the more air the driver can move -- and the more efficient a driver
becomes relative to a speaker with smaller cone surface area. However, the
additional mass of such a driver requires more power and a more stout motor
structure (the components that control the speakers) to keep the driver controlled
and accurate.
Both solutions do require substantial power output from the amplifier
driving them, but power can be expensive. For cost savings reasons,
manufacturers will produce a larger coned driver out of lightweight material
(i.e. paper) to minimize power requirements. Unfortunately, the resulting lightweight
subwoofer is flimsy, and when combined with low power yields muddy, fuzzy bass
at moderate volumes and distortion at high volumes. This is PRECISELY the case
in BMW's premium systems equipped with a subwoofer.
And if you don't have the premium system, because your stock amp and speakers
(and even high quality component speakers and an aftermarket amp) are small
in size, share the same lightweight construction, and are low in power, you'll
get the same fuzzy bass, just less of it.
And so, an effective, high power subwoofer solution is needed. But
with the BSW d110.e39, it doesn't have to come with sacrifices.

This guide walks you step by step through the installation process of the BSW d110.e39 Subwoofer System for 97-03 BMW 5 Series, M5 Sedan with out DSP.
Is this EVERYTHING I need?
Yes, we include absolutely every single component you need! There is absolutely
nothing else you need to purchase outside of the BSW 10" d110 Subwoofer System
to install and enjoy our system.
Can I install the d110 Subwoofer System in my BMW myself?
Yes, you can! We ship every BSW Subwoofer System with extremely detailed installation
instructions with photos and provide telephone support for the process as well.
Because it's a simple installation (you're basically just tapping one audio
signal and getting power from the battery - that's it!) with only the most basic
of skills required, you can probably do it. However, if you feel unsure, we
always recommend professional installation. Fortunately, because the installation
instructions are so good and everything you need is included, if you don't feel
comfortable with the installation process, any decent car audio shop can perform
the installation for you without any difficulty whatsoever - probably for about
$150 or less.
Will this work with my Standard or Premium Sound equipped 5 Series / M5? Will
it make a big difference?
Yes, absolutely! In your BMW's audio system, even the Harman-Kardon systems,
bass response is terrible. Because our d110 Subwoofer System provides as little
or as much additional bass response as you want, you'll see a VERY nice improvement
in sound quality and low-end frequency response in your BMW, regardless of whether
you have the most basic BMW audio system or the nicest.
My trunk is completely sealed. Will I really be able to hear the bass in the
cabin?
Yes, definitely. Because we specialize in BMW's, we understand that the trunk
areas are very frequently 100% sealed from the interior of the car, and as a
result, this important consideration was taken in mind during every step of
the design process. This means that our d110 Subwoofer Systems are high-output
and will absolutely produce enough output (volume) to really hear,
feel, and truly enjoy! In fact, the single 10" system is one of our highest output
subwoofer package and what we recommend for those that want the most possible
bass OR those with a very well sealed trunk such as the 5 series.
What components are included in your 10" Deck-Mounted Subwoofer System?
Click the "What's Included" tab above for an itemized list of the
components used in this subwoofer system.
Why don't you use more common name brands like JL, Infinity, etc.?
We haven't used more commonly known "name brand" components in our subwoofer
systems because we wanted to provide the absolute best system possible for the
most reasonable price to our customers. Frankly, much of what you pay for when
you go "name brand" is just that - the name. Our testing revealed that the components
from the smaller companies that we're using in our subwoofer systems provide
a MUCH better value because you aren't paying for a name. You're paying for
the quality of the components and engineering, and as such, for the same amount
of money you get so much more performance, output, and clarity. So,
in short, we use the components we've selected because they give you, the customer,
the very best "bang for the buck."
Do I need to replace my factory amplifier or head unit?
No, you don't. We include a new amplifier to power the subwoofer included
in the d110 Subwoofer System. If you have your factory head unit, we also include
all the necessary wiring you need to integrate this system with your factory
head unit. This system also works with all aftermarket head units as well!
Will the d110 Subwoofer System be visible from within the car or require any
permanent modifications?
No, our d110 Subwoofer System is completely invisible within the car. Only
you and your fellow listeners will know that you've upgraded your stereo since
your car will maintain a 100% factory appearance within the vehicle. And in
the trunk, because the BSW d110 Subwoofer Enclosure used has a stealth, clean
look, it's hard to tell there's a sub system in your trunk, either!
No permanent modifications are required.
Does the BSW d110 Subwoofer System fit with a strut brace?
Yes! We have verified fitment with the Dinan 5 Series / M5 strut brace. We
have not tested other braces on the market, but due to the 1/2" clearance
between the brace and subwoofer enclosure, it is very likely this system will
fit with all other braces on the market.
Does the BSW d110 Subwoofer System come with a warranty?
Yes, it sure does! The warranty is 2 years, parts only, on all components
of the d110 Subwoofer System. If you ever have any issues, we're just a phone
call away. Please note that this warranty DOES NOT cover subwoofers blown due
to abuse.
