As the tittle suggests... Can you connect a sub to a standard vrs headunit?

Thanks

Yeah there is these things called connect2`s. Dont know anymore but they`ll be along to assist soon im sure

I forgot to add i have a wireing kit for it

You can get some amps/cheapie all in one sub packages with "speaker level inputs", which will do what you want. These are relatively rare though. Problem is if going second hand route, most people will likely have lost the connector and it will prove hard to get hold of.

You can also get adapters that create an RCA output from the speaker connections, but when you can go aftermarket these are a bit of a waste unless you're really desperate to keep the OE dash look.

It is possible yes (2 options above), but the best way is a decent aftermarket unit IMO, with high voltage pre-outs etc. Better sound quality, better connectivity (ipod, usb etc) are just a few advantages.

If budget is important, you could set up a local search for your area on ebay. E.g. http://cheap-bargains.co.uk/ Often people will list subwoofers with an amplifier (an amp is needed if the sub is not active) as collect only starting at a low price like 99p. As it is collect only, people are only willing to travel so far, limiting the number of bidders. Often sellers will end the item simply because it does not reach the price they expected - but sometimes you can pick up a bargain.

Yes, see fabia-vrs.com phone integration bit for the h/u pinouts (if you're making your own cables...)

You need a mini-ISO connector lead.

That gives you front and rear pre-outs. Pick one set to drive the amp/sub.

The standard vRS symphony headunit has a standard lineout (undocumented) which you can use to feed a sub, you just need to get the cable for the iso connector and fit it in.

I believe this is the cable used by others in the past.

It may have a set of standard line outs that you can access if you go to the trouble of making a connector, but it is just an exercise in Turd polishing as the standard headunit is not all that good. It's not just Skoda HU's though most are nowhere near as good as a decent after market one. Before adding a sub and just overpowering the standard setup you will be better off getting a decent HU (Alpine, Pioneer, Kenwood, JVC, though, no hu-flung-dungs) to power the standard speakers, then upgrade them, then add the sub and then maybe another amp. Adding a sub to the standard kit will just sound awful.

I have the pre out cable if you want it? Gives you front and rear pre outs plus remote lead.
