Thank you for the advice again Sanj and thank you Graeme for pointing me in Sanj's direction - he is good!
I have seen some brackets on eBay so I might give it a go...!!!
Then I'll go for the sub too (again after Sanj's help!)

Re: Connecting a amp and active subwoofer
Excellent thank you. It doesn't matter if not as I'm sure I'll know what the pins are when I see it!

Re: Connecting a amp and active subwoofer
That's what I thought - brilliant! Also, I don't suppose you know what the pins will be on my BM54 - X5 Sport E53 2003? http://i57.tinypic.com/24e5esk.jpg or http://i62.tinypic.com/f2uavn.jpg I've found wiring diagrams but there are two possible types of BM54 I believe...?! Thanks for all your help ...

Re: Connecting a amp and active subwoofer
Thank you very much Sanj. I will take a look at the BM54 at the weekend.
Should I cut the cables so the rear speakers no longer work or join the rear cables to both sub amp and rear speakers?
Thanks again Sanj.

Re: Wires in the boot (X5 3.0d Sport 2003 [E53])
Thank you both X MAN and Steamyrotter for your help. Are there any pre-outs on the back of the head unit? http://i59.tinypic.com/v2xr3c.jpg I have just performed the v32 (SW 4-1/00) update to the head unit thanks to this forum for pointing me in the right direction.
