Title: Fitting An Amp And Sub To Original RNS315 Head Unit - Whats The Best Way?
Post by: Lofty_MK6_GTI on 28 December 2015, 14:31

Hi guys, as I've said, I'm looking at fitting a sub and amp in my Mk6 that I've recently fitted an RNS315 to.

Just wondering the best way to go about doing this as the unit doesn't have RCA outputs to power the amp.

Thanks for any help

Lofty

Wide range of decent amp's have speaker level inputs - use one of those :)

Instructions for the RNS510 but will be very similar http://www.r32oc.com/topic/45797-rns-510-pre-outs/

Just done this in my T5 and works perfectly.

Hooked up to the JL Audio XD400/4 v2, the v2 version has the ability to turn on without the need for a remote wire (which the VW units don't have. If going the JL Audio route make sure you get the V2 version, as the originals didn't have this feature.
