Hello,

I have ordered Octavia a month ago and was thinking about subwoofer for it, as the canton was not available at the moment of order.

So basically I have already Logitech Z906, and it has 165W subwoofer (plus other 5 sattelites, but I am not planning to use them in car), that is powered using usual home outlet. Sound input would is the AUX 3.5mm (the same that are usually used for headphones if you connect them to a computer or phone)

I have also opted into 230V outlet (max 150W), and columbus, if that makes the difference.

 

So in general I would have 3 (or probably only the last 2 options) how to connect it without extra effort:
1) Plug it into the AUX port, if there is any? I saw mk2 has this option, but cannot see any info for the newest octavia, so I am assuming this is a legacy technology.

2) Use usb-c to AUX 3.5mm adapter, connect the subwoofer and play the audio from car MIB. (is it even possible?)

3) Play music on my phone, and split the output into 2 "branches" - one for sobwoofer and second would be plugged into usb-c and played on the sound system of a car.

 

Please let me know if you have any option/knowledge on any of these options, and maybe you have already tried something like this.

And sorry if my question does not seem logical - I don't own the car at the moment, so I am just guessing about the possibilities.

 

Also question regarding the 230V outlet - as the max output is 150W: What would happen if I exceed it? Is the 150 set as max, and cannot be exceeded, or it can be exceeded, and some other electrics could suffer because of that?

 

Afaik, you cannot use AUX or USB ports in the car as they are input only. No output on those ports.

Ok, so the option 3 could still be the option, as the output from phone would just be split into 2 and the car would still receive it as input

Indeed, if the phone supports that.
