right if your running your front speakers via the amp then all you do is run wires from the speakers directly to the amp.

the reason for the remote is so it turns on and off via your stereo, so everytime the stereo is off the amp is off.

if you follow the diagram i made you make you will have no problmes wiring it all up

Yeah I had a look at that, thanks for doing that  :smiley:

That's cool then, all I need to do now is buy all this stuff and get it all fitted, the hardest bit will be wiring the power cable to the front, I just don't know where I can get the cable through to, how do other Mk3 users get around this?

behind the glovebox is a grommet thats routes the alarm wires inside the car (look mid way up left hand side of engine bay)

Good man  :grin: thanks for that, will have a look in a bit for that.

I assume that means I don't have to fill in any holes with anything or what not, it'll be simply thread the power cable throught the same hole as these other wires?

I cut/modified the original grommit and reused this...but you need to remove the glovebox to thread the wire through
