Re: Golf IV w/ Monsoon upgrade questions (Deception)
Initially, you are probably better off keeping the Monsoon amp to power the front/rear speakers.Install your new hu, amp and sub,and see how you like that arrangement.If you still think it's not enough then look at new speakers and an amp to replace the Monsoon.If you like how it sounds with keeping the Monsoon,pocket book wise you're better off,since you had to put down a little more money for the Monsoon to begin with.
Installing an aftermarket hu to the Monsoon is pretty easy.All you need is the normal wiring harness adapter.The Monsoon amp is different from most other amps in that it doesn't require a remote 12v turn on.So,that's one less thing to worry about there.
The sub amp really ain't too difficult either.You'll use the non-fading sub woofer RCA outputs from the new hu,to supply the signal.Also,you'll need to use the remote 12v output of the new hu to turn on the sub amp.The rest of the amp wiring is power directly from the battery,and chassis ground.
