Mk7.5 Speaker Upgrade

You could but I'd run it on 2 seperate circuits, the remote "ON" I doubt is more than 1A so you may as well use a piggyback for that instead of adding an inline fuse.

So two piggyback connectors to the fuse box?

I think that's it. I'm interested to see about those crimp things and whether they're any good or not. I usually resort to stripping back the wires and crimping with insulated butts, but those could make life a lot easier!

Maybe not that brilliant after all then! Assuming all the power cabling would be behind the glovebox and Speakers are spliced into somewhere behind the head unit, you have two choices really (assuming the subwoofer will be going underneath the passenger seat!). You can route some cables underneath the weather proofing on the passenger door (just keep it under the rubber); you might also be able to route it underneath the plastic trim too. Additionally, you can also route cables behind the plastic trim from the centre console, past the gearstick and towards the seat that way. You might have to do both, considering the number of wires that the subwoofer requires!

Are you going for it then? :P

It won't come out looking like that; yours is a five door model, right? ;)

Seriously though, I hope it goes alright, and get posting if we can help with any suggestions :)

Right got the sub today but waiting on the wiring to come av came across something here what type of connectors are these as the sub came with these on them so if I got male and female of the same ones a could just cut and then plug them in to make it a lot easier and can remove when I sell car again withouth soldering
