Hello! New GTI Owner. I have a 2010, had it for a week now. I'm wanting to install my 2 12 inch subs, but have no idea how to hook up the amp for them. I've been asking and told it was easiest to just do a line out converter from the rear speakers to the amp to power the subs. My car has the Dynaudio system in it, so I'm asking those who know more about GTIs with this system.
I don't currently have an amp, so there is some leeway there. I dont know the impedance or RMS of the subs, I remember they are 400 watts, bit not sure if that's max or RMS. They've been out of a car for a while (easily 6 years)
I can do the Line out, that's not a problem, but I'm hoping to save some money from not having to buy one, to drop on a better amp.
I'm asking here as I've searched a lot, on this forum and others, and havent gotten a definite, "yes, you can splice into these that are before the amp, and run them to the aftermarket amp." I was hoping to find an amp that has speaker wire inputs as well, I've also seen speaker wire to RCA adapters that dont use a converter box, they just get spliced in
