Looking good Asker! Amp and Sub-woofer look neat and tidy! :cool:

Does having a sub-woofer under the seat have any effect on passengers' sphincters, or female whatnots?
Nice net by the way, much better than an Aldi one in a Picasso.......

Thanks Kenny.
In reality, these units are much more discreet than the pictures represent. The sub-woofer is just wonderful and produces really deep, clean and balanced bass.
The amplifier is the smallest available from my searches and is rated at 4x120 Watts RMS. Compare this with 4x20 Watts RMS of the RNS510. Additionaly, the improvement in sound quality is quite amazing across the whole frequency spectrum.
The sound has wowed everyone who has heard the system. Worth it and simply love it! :smiley:

Sorry to disappoint you Andy. The system provides emotional but not diametric enhancement. :wink:

Looks great, nice a discreet. I assume when a normal height person is on the seat the sub doesn't stick out at all?
Like the net, I've got the VW rubber mat thing which is great at keeping mud off the carpets after a round of golf.
Is that net an original VW net? If it is how much it it?
Cheers,
Jim

The sub-woofer is really discreet and you can't see it even with the seat right back. I had to perform a few acrobatics to take the pictures.
The luggage net is a VW genuine part and I find it hugely useful. It is so well made that no amount of stretching deforms it when it is 'not in the use position' as you can see from the picture. Worth it IMO. This is the item that has badly affected the attitude of many of the members on the other forums. I've included it here to help them on their way. :grin:

What head unit have you got paired up with these new gifts? I like the look of them! :tongue:
-
Neat solution - does the sub just sit there or is it fixed down in some way?

The head unit is the LED RNS510*. As it had such a horrible sound, I had retro-fit the amp and sub. Factory ordering the Dynaudio would have turned out much cheaper. However, I feel a sub would still be a useful addition.
mac7:
The amplifier is screwed down only into the carpet and not into the metal. As it gets hot, double sided sticky tape could not be used as this tends to melt.
The sub-woofer is very, very securely fixed to the carpet with double-sided sticky tape. No heat issues here so such tape could be used. The sub-woofer remote control is secured to the sub's rear face under the seat with sticky tape. Can be easily pulled out for minor bass boost and cut-off frequency adjustments.

Thats good, iv got the RNS510 so il add the amp and sub to the mod list!
You upgraded the standard speakers or just left them as they are? :smug:
-
Can I ask how you connected this to your RNS510?
I've been toying with the idea of doing something similar for a year but couldn't find anything that would just plug in.
Cheers.

Very nice Asker , how much ? :grin:

quinnii:
The speakers are standard and the system sounds very dynamic and balanced. I am pretty impressed by the sound-stage I get. Always a difficult thing to achieve.
The Audio fitters were very impressed with the sound. In fact, they were very surprised how excellent it sounded.
Obviously, changing the speakers might improve matters, but as I am so delighted at present, I will not bother. :smiley:

Thanks.
Total cost without RNS510* was £850, near 50% was labour. :shocked:

Excellent, good to see your pleased with it :wink:

Worth it though Asker, bet it sounds lovely :smug:

I had the system professionally installed by Auto Audio, Park Royal, London. Therefore, I cannot provide you with much detail on how all the connections were made. Suffice to say, it was a hell-of-job and took nearly 6 hours to complete. They have used a Genesis high level interface (approx £70) to connect the power amplifier to the head unit. Apart from this, I don't know.
I think it's best to ask Snoops as he will have all the answers to help you. :smiley:

The old fashion way of mounting under seats etc was to fit a 1/2" bit of mdf under the carpet the size of the amp and screw down into it with the amp that way you sandwiched the carpet inbetween.
