Sunfire Subwoofer Amplifier for Z3

[shagmoz]

Hi all,

I may have the Sunfire Amp for the Z3 subwoofer...Just the amp not the subwoofer...for sale would there be any interest?

Thanks,

See DWM's experience with using just the Sunfire speaker. If you are going the route of a full speaker replacement, you probably don't want to use the Sunfire speaker with a non-Sunfire amp.

Hi again,

I think if its possible the best solution is to try and use the Sunfire Amp for the Sub but change the main HK amp.

Has anyone done this?

Hi,

In my continued quest to figure out what I should do and how to do it I just found something interesting.

I am still using the HK main amp with Sunfire sub amp. I was trying to figure out what the crossover setting could be for the sub. I did this by using mp3 tones on cd. Well I didn't figure out what the crossover is for the sub...what I did find out is that when I fade full front the main amp is still sending full range to front speakers...it was sending as low as 20hz and lower to front speakers.

I want to find a way to get that main amp out and still use the sunfire amp!!!

DWM has a partial circuit diagram of the amp and subamp harness at his http://www.rfdm.com site. Some others may have gone further -- someone, maybe on Roadfly, managed to ask AMP successfully for engineering samples of the connectors (but if you try to order them as a part, I believe you'll get nowhere).

Try asking Ron Stygar or JohnF in the Z3 forum here on Bimmerfest for connector info on this -- they might be able to help.
