How To Install A Subwoofer

In this video, I install a Vibe subwoofer in the back of my 2005 Audi A4.
The sub I used was an old Vibe Black Air Vented V12 which is no longer available.
The wiring kit can be found here:

That pollen filter has seen better days.

[@TorqueSteer]

Haha yeah. I swapped it out during the video.

[@melondog82]

Straightforward no talking bullshit simple install. Good job lad 👍

[@Thoroughly_Wet]

For a stock head unit you'll need an rca converter and tap the factory speaker wiring

[@tesstickle7267]

Yes mate any help with a factory head unit would be great,plus it's another video so why not;) I have a volvo c30 and lacking bass so maybe need an rca adapter and a active undeseat sub/amp but im not sure lol

[@Tayeedz1]

This I wanna see. I'm planning on an underseat sub in my Suzuki Swift to save on bootspace

[@jannejcperme3238]

RCA cables needs to be seperated from plus cable only if you are using amplifier for speakers which can make different unwanted noises from the speakers and can damage the speakers. If you dont want thise noises just buy a ground loop adapter which comes from RCA preouts on radio to RCA cables. Otherwise nice job on this tutorial it is very helpful.

[@voltekka9815]

Excellent. But next time, close the video demonstrating results. In this case we needed a sheila beeing blasted into orbit after some bass boosted bad ass music!

[@TorqueSteer]

Haha. Point taken. I’ll go find some shielas.

[@kavotins890]

to those who might be a bit confused about the gain knob.... turn up your stereo to max and run a sound test... start with gain somewhere in the middle and gradually turn it up until you start hearing some distortions... turn it down from there just ever so slightly and leave it there... dont treat it as a volume knob and leave it on max

[@CamHarrisVlogs]

Super helpful vid - just installed the EDGE 12“ Active Sub in my 2004 Clio first car and it‘s WICKEDDDDDDD

[@propabilityfpv303]

Lol the gain is NOT like a volume knob unless you want to blow out your subs

[@Kimschkiee]

thanks for the refresher, I knew all these things in the back of my head but now I watched this video I know for shore! :D

[@Smilieface2k9]

Impressed! Very well explained and job done! Brilliant!

[@starrs..]

to the point and quick , thank you good sir

[@keeloraz9452]

Yeah factory head unit to sub as well as speaker

[@jackh6215]

Love the video keep them coming helped me out a lot ☺

[@zhoaibraja2992]

That subwoofer seems familiar 🤔 if u take the top port plug out does it have a blue led face inside? They're really nice subs.. should've had some sound clips of it! Nice vid btw

[@niveklor1456]

That's why it's good to have your fire extinguisher in the very farthest point of the back of the car LOL

[@williamcrazylacyfurmage9953]

When you use the RCA jacks in the back for the sub only, Does the other regular 4 speakers just hooked up to the radio wires, and just play off the stereo power, right??

[@gaaazaguly]

Its Will from the inbetweeners.. nice video.

[@markslinger3327]

Got a new 2018 Peugeot 3008 suv. Vvvvv intrested in adding extra noise to her New video mate on adding bass boxes sort of thing to factory head units........go

[@elj3590]

Hello , did you do an video with factory head unit ? I have similar subwoofer, I want to try to install it to my bmw 1series 2005 , it has sat nav so want to keep original head unit would love to see how to do it , don't want to fry anything up

[@tharrisharrison7066]

Don’t understand what you meant when you said it doesn’t matter about having the power lead and the signal lead separated : because subs are muffled anyway ? 😂

[@mikemedley3688]

Ive got the exact kit, just installed but sub seems to be picking up car sound static instead of music? *PLEASE SEND HELP* 😂 IM SO CONFUSED

[@deadlyvenom9069]

My b7 a4 has a stock sub and amp in the back. I have the stock headunit and i was wondering if there would be any smart solution for me. Is it possible to take the signal from there and run the power like shown in the vid.

[@saikrishnagiri4809]

I have a speaker that comes with built-in lights. Where should I connect its positive terminal so that the speaker lights turn on when I switch on my vehicle lights? Also should I connect the ground wire as shown in this video? Pls help. Great video by the way!

[@julianvanloon9499]

What if you don’t have the white and red input on the back ? How to install then?

[@thedetailingdoctor5746]

Same head unit as my avant too 🤣 cracking system that is for the price sat nav is actually half decent on it

[@seanwallace1972]

Great video,1 question though,the REM blue cable when head unit is switched off and Sub is off? Or is a seperate switch necessary

[@darrensweeney1975]

9 hours later I watch the vid

[@DarrenBoss1984]

Would you do a video about installing soundproofing at some point? Thanks Luke!

[@TorqueSteer]

Defiantly. I actually added some to my rear seat during this. I want to soundproof behind the doors and replace those speakers so I’ll do a video when I get around to it.

[@rishitkhakhar2280]

i had a doubt wiring a powered sub in a jvc 2 din head uNit.. Should i use the RCA cables for signal / sound or is the high to low audio converter a better option. my stereo supports RCA output. but the installiation fellow told me that using speaker wires through a high to low audio converter will give better results. Pls guide me..

[@thetraindriver01]

Great how to vid Luke, thanks 👍👍👍

[@timpricedrums]

Why use electrical tape when you can use the mighty GAFFER TAPE! 🤪

[@jonestracy77]

Where did he put the fuse?

[@mic400uk]

Are you looking forward to trying out meguiars ceramic spray wax?

[@TorqueSteer]

I’ve just looked it up online. It looks very similar to Auto Finesse’s Aqua Coat. I would like to do a group test to see how it stands up to hydrosilex.

[@user-zr3tb6bg7o]

Agree with tj o, where is the best place to take the signal if we are dealing with a factory head unit?

[@TorqueSteer]

Normally you have to take a feed from the rear speakers. My girlfriend should be getting a new car soon so I might try and tap into the factory h/u on the new one.

[@louvendran7273]

You must tap with a line convertor. It connects with your speaker wires to convert to rca signal. It's quite cheap as well. Hope my comments help.

[@TorqueSteer]

Fortunately most amps these days can accept a hi-level input so it’s always worth checking that too.

[@mikedolman1065]

U did all that the hard way

[@niveklor1456]

A noce,thin bi cycle cable connected to the wire with a giant wad of 3 in diameter duct tape,bahaha

[@PatrioticBiker]

0:57 that amp lookin pretty.... sus😳

[@user-qk4dv9bp6r]

Factory head unit please

[@Tuttermane]

gain is NOT equal to volume...

[@J_M_E_83]

You could of let us hear it 😔

[@rainfn1959]

Is this even english😂😂😂

[@Musiclover-kr4um]

😂
