The Unofficial BMW M5 Messageboard (m5board.com) - View Single Post - Tech: need subwoofer wiring help on DSP Audio

Okay audio-geeks, I need a favor. Do any of you know the pin-outs for the 12-pin wiring harness on the DSP/Nokia “subwoofer” bandpass enclosure? I’ve searched www.bmwtips.com to no avail.

Here's what I'm talking about:

okay, no photos. I just read Gustav's update on HobbyStage's revision to prevent links to posted photos. sh*t

FWIW, the sub only uses 8 pins of the 12-pin harness; pins 2-5 and 8-11. The color-coded wiring is as follows:
Pin 1 = blank
Pin 2 = aqua w/ white stripe
Pin 3 = aqua w/ brown stripe
Pin 4 = yellow w/ black stripe
Pin 5 = yellow w/ gray stripe
Pin 6 = blank
Pin 7 = blank
Pin 8 = yellow w/ red stripe
Pin 9 = gray w/ brown stripe
Pin 10 = yellow w/ white stripe
Pin 11 = yellow w/ brown stripe
Pin 12 = blank

These 8 pins correspond to the speaker-level outputs for each of the two voice coils. In other words, what I’m trying to match the above color combinations with is as follows:
L sub voice coil A; pos
L sub voice coil A; neg
L sub voice coil B; pos
L sub voice coil B; neg
R sub voice coil A; pos
R sub voice coil A; neg
R sub voice coil B; pos
R sub voice coil B; neg

TIA for any light you can shed on this subject.

Cheers-
~Dave
