Title: Audio upgrade
Post by: Paulm12 on 14 August 2022, 11:30: Hi there, looking for some advice on upgrading my sound system in my Golf. Should I start with a sub or an amp or upgrade the speakers? Just looking to go to the first stage on improving the sound. Cheers, Paul.

Same here mate. My priority is adding a sub to the mix. No idea what yet. I was hoping the VW Helix sub would work but from what I have read, it isn't compatible with the MK8

The Helix Sub is made by Audiotec Fischer from Germany and they have many kits for the mk8 to add a sub, just choose the adapters and then pick a sub from them.
