hi, if i want to add a subwoofer to the existing HK system how would i go about doing that. I searched and couldnt find a straight answer. How can i add a second subwoofer, (8inches) to my existing HK system? please help!

depends on how you like your music and what genre you listen to. every one likes there coffee different just like every one likes their bass differently. I'v got a fi audio q which dose 1000 wrms and i usually run it at 400 wrms when i listen to rock and then turn it up when i play techno or hip hop for stronger bass lines. I always like to have enough power to run the sub at its full rms rating so that i can run it as hard or as easy as i need to. but in the end its up to you:nyah:

I wouldn't recommend tapping onto the crossed-over signal going to the HK subs, when you can just as easily get a clean full range signal going from you head-unit to your OEM amplifier. Here's are D210.e46 Subwoofer System Install Guide, you can use this guide for any subwoofer system install, just apply the directions to your setup.

I hope this helps and feel free to contact me if you have any other questions.

You can still keep the HK subs and add your own aftermarket sub system by following the install guide I linked to. You're just tapping onto the audio system signals and not terminating them.
