We pride ourselves on keeping up to date with new technology, parts and accessories and strive to find the right solution for your vehicle. The first step was to cut down the black threaded post portion, and also to use a bandsaw to cut down the white "nut" portion.

Probably a waste of time, but I will be able to upgrade or replace without disassembling the rear interior.

The system also includes a wired remote with controls for sub level, crossover frequency, phase switching, and bass EQ, so you can make adjustments from the front seat. Mine is shallow, and i actually had to remove the spare tire for it to fit, and even then the spare tire cover stuck up a bit. If you get signal from your rear speakers, (this unit allows speaker level input), the remote turn on will detect signal from the speakers and turn on. My suggestion would be to run the remote into your glove box or a center console and hide it there until you need it if you don't want to see it. Meaning that a remote turn on (via splicing into a certain wire or using a fuse that only has power when the car is on) is not necessary?

JBL freezes them, bakes them, shakes them, blasts them with ultraviolet light and drives them at full power for days at a time. It was very close but too tall by about an inch for the lid that covers the trunk space to sit down flush. At this time we do not have enough information about the factory sub for the Golf Mk8 to ensure this would fit in the same location.The item may be missing the original packaging or protective wrapping, or may be in the original packaging but not sealed. If you are unsure whether your address is classed as UK Non-mainland please feel free to contact us and an advisor will be happy to help. available for less, I'm sure): JBL BassPro Hub | 11" (279mm) Spare tire subwoofer with built-in 200W RMS amplifier with remote control. I forgot I had read you have to disconnect the Active Noise Cancellation Module(ANC) when you install a sub. According to the Volvo subwoofer installation instructions, you need to insert a pin into the large connector on the back of the REM (rear fuseholder), but that either needs to be enabled to function on that pin as a turn-on signal, or it is a communication bus signal to the factory amplifier.

It can easily get down to around 35Hz, but not much lower without a ton of roll-off, but for a car setup I'm very happy with it, it was fun to install and sounds great, plus it's totally hidden and doesn't take up any trunk space, which was important to me. So even though its only like 50W rms, it'll punch way above its weight (a true, CEA 2006 rated rms).

You will want to contact an Advisor by phone (1-800-324-9695) or online chat to discuss compatibility with your factory system. This wire harness provides a line out converter for connection to one set of RCA cables to provide an audio signal to an external amplifier. I would put a sub under the seat or even customize the trunk panels for two Rockford Fosgate PPS4-8, for example. Here's a link to the product page on JBL's site, but it's essentially a spare-tire powered subwoofer, which makes it totally hidden and relatively easy to install.
