Am just wondering what the best amp to get with the standard Vw headunit to get the best and loudest sound out off this bad boy

Hey mate, i have the same sub as you and when i went to get the amp the guy recommended me the JBL amp, cant remember if it was 500 or 1000 watt but sounds amazing for sure!

pretty sure you can't wire it to the standard vw cd player coz you won't have a sub output on the back of the cd player, you will need an aftermarket one.

Aww f**k. Am not wanting to go aftermarket like. My mate has an aftermarket one in his polo and I think it looks pretty crap in such a new car. I like the standard radio system it works well and lOoks nice and smart tbh

I know what you mean. they should make a standard head unit with the sub output on it would be so much better.

he got the standard headunit in and the company that has done it for him just fitted an adapter on the standard vw system it looking good

All my mate said was the guy fitted adapotors so his system could play though the standard Vw headunit

I got the RNS 510 in, the adapter as peeps above have mentioned was £20 and for wiring and everything cost me an extra £30. The sub was £50.
its just the adapter you have to get fitted by the audi professionals unless you know how to do wire yourself. otherwise running the wires through the car isnt hard at all!

An getting it all done professional anyway. A want a good neat job doing.

Not like one of my mates who done it him self. Wires all over the shop and plus I don't have a clue with electronics

Hope this helps people find what they looking for

Didn't know you needed an adapter! What kind of places will fit one for me?

i done my research and if you have the right amp that runs off the OEM radio, you don't need a adapter, just my mate needed one as he had a sub and amp off his old car
