Sorry to resurrect this, but does anyone have a link on how to install this sub in a mk6 GTI?

Although the standard stereo is brilliant this does interest me. May investigate further!

How are you finding the unit a few months on? Still happy?

With the HELIX system, are the cables in place for the 'plug and play' or would you have to run the cable harness from the player to the HELIX system?:

Doug, from your photo at the bottom you've got me thinking of where the perfect place would be and if it was only a bit smaller you could wedge it on the floor upstand on the middle seat. Or more radically, remove your armrest Top and attach it to that and get someone to stick some cloth material around it while keeping the speaker exposed at the back, that would be amazing lol armrest/sub combo time!
