ANC and Sub replacement
So I was also bummed about the performance of the ELS sound system in my car. I replaced the front speakers and tweeters with nice JBLs and and replaced the sub with an 8" Kicker sub. Those components all fit in nicely and the install looks fully factory. The front speakers were a big improvement, but the sub needed more. I installed a 300W Kenwood Amp and WOW...it works great...until I drive around and then the ANC system BOOMS through the sub system. I have searched through all the forum postings and found two items of interest. You can kill ANC when you go into the diag menus...but it resets to on again when you turn the car off and on again. A second posting claiming to defeat ANC by pulling a connector on what the posting said was the ANC module on the left side of the center console (the right side of the driver's foot well). The poster never said if it interfered with the BT phone mic or not.
Does anyone know how to actually resolve this? If not, does anyone have a wiring diagram for the 2018 ELS system so I can use my engineering skills on actual documentation. Anything I learn will be shared.

Did you check the sticky on the main page? The wiring diagram may already be posted there. If not, Dave could hook you up.

When you changed the front tweeter and front woofer (sepaker), did you use the crossover that came with the compoenent kit or you just changed the tweeter and the front speaker (not putting the crossover?) the front oem is a woofer? or a full speaker?
When you jsut changed the subwoofer, without the amp, it changed something (more bass?) or not a all? Is it woth it the change the subwoofer withou adding a amp (if I put a 8" punch PS3 2ohms?) Thanks.
