Thats what I was thinking using the line outputs.....was it a pain to run the wiring? did you go to headunit or to the door speaker? is your powered sub under the seat or in trunk?
I was hoping to run wires from rear deck speakers but I guess theya re in the rear doors instead...thinking may be better/easier to go from speaker line out from head unit to tap into them there vs the door?
Just wondering how you ran it and if you had any regrets......
Its not a pain to run the wiring, just takes time to do it right and keep it clean. I run it under the kick panels (Power on DS, Speaker/Remote/Sub control on PS). I did run it to the HU, and used a T-harness so I didnt have to tap the OEM harness. I needed to run a remote wire and the bass knob up to the front, so I might as well tap the speakers on the back of the headunit while I was there.
I hope you can tell by the image that that's the trunk.. But to confirm, yes its the trunk.
The Composition Media unit doesn't have a separate amplifier.
Look under your driver's seat for a hard plastic cover. If it's not there, then that could be a good place to install a mini sub.
Otherwise, just do a typical trunk unit.
I just reached out to check fitment on a 2020 as i think us US are on the same platform (B7) for 2020. They were not sure so I will have to measure it for sure to see.
Does anyone have experience with the compact subs that go under the seats? I have the base sound system in my SE model, so I'm looking to add a sub as well. Under the seat would be nice and out of the way, but I'm concerned it wont sound decent.
Just finished installing a single 15 (1000watts RMS) and the LC2ipro in the photo works amazing! Factory headunit performs like an expensive/premium aftermarket one now.
Super easy to hook up (just hooked into rear speakers behind the headunit)
Way overkill on the wire but I plan to add more stuff to the trunk later and easier to run the 0/2 gauge wire I already had once.
Just drove to TN and back and man I love this car even more now! Would recommend to anyone on the fence or needing a good Line out converter
