Good tutorial however should really use a line out converter for the best signal. Sending already amplified signal to your low level input on the amp will clip the sub.
Not a good tutorial at all really. Running a high level input into the amp low level input is not the correct way to do this. The best way is to send a full range signal to the amplifier that is converted to low level. Use the crossover in the amplifier to low pass the subwoofer. There are products made that can sum the signal from the factory amplifier to make a full range signal.
Well sorry to inform you brother of you get a proper amp if has high and low level inputs or sometimes have a switch under the rca cables to switch from weak signal and pre-amplified signals
@@lunastar-k3w The amp he is using has High Level Input, he just didn't use it. The amp comes with the plug for it. When he shows the amp with the input side, pause the video, you'll see the white female connector and to the right, the input level control. I bought a similar BOSS amp because it has this capability. The 1,000W to power a 10" Polk Audio. It arrives next week.
@@EndoQuantum I have a boss riot 1100 watt amp and iam aware of the high level input but it’s very noisy unless you ground the wire properly to the chassis you will get a static noise and I would say it’s still not as good as the Rca connections from personal experience im using it to power 2 Rockfordfrosgate 10 inch R1’s and they sound great with the Rca cables
I needed this video for the RCA hook up! Great video man! The only difference I had was I had to run my remote wire to the driver side fuse panel. For sum reason my fuse setup in the trunk was a little different. Only had like 3 rows of fuses instead of 4 and they where always all on.
I would recommend looking into the audio diagram, doing research for the RCA wires. Most likely from the radio or amplifier, as mentioned do research before cutting into anything.
i want to remove the stock sub and place my own in its place, should i connect the original sub wire to the high or low lever input as my sub supports both, previously i tried wiring it up to the speaker wires before the original amp but had issues where the amp would go into protect mode as soon as the volume is increased but i'm not sure why tho
I was an idiot and accidentally wired it so that my stock sub in the trunk got amplified to 1200 watts instead… it took me two days to realize haha but now I have to fix it
So what if we don't have spare wire for connecting to the factory speaker that has that female type connection? just expose the line and wrap it around it? thanks in advance
No, you can run the oem and aftermarket subwoofer at the same time since the oem subwoofer has its on amp from the aftermarket subwoofer. RCA is pure signal wire.
@@Realityvoidx You don't need to add a hi-low converter if you use an amp that has the high level input controller onboard. If you look at the amp in this video, he has the High Level Input, he just didn't use it and went with the RCA. The problem there is that the Audi subwoofer signal already has 80 Watts going to it so now his amp has 80 Watts going into the input side which is not something you want to do as it may most likely damage that input on the amp and who knows what else.

Hi my stock subwoofer doesn’t have the option to connect rca audio wiring to spade connectors do you know if there’s any other way around this? Audi A4 B6 2003.
You’ll have to tap into the radio for rca, there’s a way to do it with the amplifier as well, I highly recommend looking into the audio diagram and seeing what you can work with before making cuts.
Hey at the 3 minute mark in the video I see you're connecting the wires to the existing subwoofer....What is the name of that type of connector? And the wires that you used for that? I have my aftermarket subwoofer in a box already and just need to get past that part
I will like to know if you can install mida range loud speaker with amplifier in A4 also and how will you connect the midrange speakers like you do the sub if it's possible
So if you’re doing door, dash speaker replacement, do research and look into the audio diagram. It is possible but this video is purely on subwoofer connection. If I’m correct there’s about 8-12 different speakers ranging from low-mids and highs which is your tweeters in the B8 A4. My apologies for the late response
Hey bro this a long shot but i think my stock amp went out. Would doing this set up bypass the stock ampvand have all the speakers working or what would do?
I would recommend fixing the issue, if you want to run the whole system off an aftermarket amp then it would have to deal with passing wiring from every speaker to the aftermarket amp. It’s complexed as it sounds and me personally I would just get the original amp for the speakers then do the sub setup aside from the original setup.
You might want to check your polarity. You used the “lettering” wire as Positive when connecting to the factory sub . Then used it as Negative to connect it to the Striped sub in the box.🤔 I always use wires with lines or lettering as Negative.
@@joelcruz1292 100% did, double checked and everything but I’ve since removed the sub out of the Audi and did a new updated setup in my 01 Sequoia with a epicenter.
Did you have issues of your stock sub drawing too much power I hooked mine up and its farting the subs are getting power but too much is going to my stock sub
Only thing I wired from stock sub was the signal wire (RCA) to the amp which gives little to no power, all the RCA is doing is transmitting the signal from the stock sub to the amp. So if you wired it up exactly like that then it shouldn’t be happening if otherwise then I recommend wiring it like I mentioned on the video which is the same way I mentioned here.
@@superrvolks The stock sub has 80 watts power going to it from the stock amp. Wouldn't recommend using that unless you use the High Level Input of your BOSS amplifier or someone uses a line output converter before connecting audio to an amp. I noticed you used the RCA instead in your install.
When you tapped into the sub is that just regular speaker wire you used , any to lengthen it you just used a different brand of speaker wire? just wanted to make sure so I could basically just use long speaker wire to tap into the sub instead of using 2 different wires like you did
If there isn’t a connection for the RCA you’ll have to do it from the radio going back, I recommend doing more research with the radio and wire diagram before cutting up anything. My apologies for the late response
I know I’ve said this for a while now, but I will be having a video coming out showcasing how to install strobe lights in any vehicle. I don’t know when it’ll be as I’m in the middle of moving.
wouldn’t this way blow the stock sub? or no i got people telling me it would and i wanna fr know i got everything i need but i also have 2 12s how would i do the 4 wires to the stock amp instead of the 2? back pack them?
This has nothing to do with the stock sub except tapping into the RCA signal. Only way is if you’re feeding the stock subwoofer more amps from the aftermarket amp. The stock subwoofer has a stock amp installed already for its power.
You need remote wire to turn on the amplifier, I am using the OEM subwoofer signal for the sound not the OEM Amplifier signal. If you run it straight like you mentioned there’s a chance the amplifier will be on 24/7 draining the battery.
My sub has been randomly coming on and off and the sub only runs for one minute. I went through all the settings I’ve unplugged the wire to the sub several times. I don’t know if there’s a wire that isn’t fully connected to the amplifier but if somebody’s knows a lot about subs let me know 👍
In a bass amplifer there fucktion yoh never gonna use , no bassbost, level around 3 'a clock, frekvens from 50 - 70 hz, alll bout the size of subwoofer , id you have subsonic filter set that on 30-45 Hz On the mainuit does not use lodness, basslevel, set all the funjtion in off when the use subwoofer, The risk fore burned equickment its there 💡

Get the right stuff and do it right the first time around is my opinion.
Hoping my SQ5 has a similar hookup on the factory subwoofer, I want my 12" CT Sounds Tropo XL bumping on there🤣 thanks for the video
Why is the batter in the trunk? You relocated it? Also how did you make your fogs blink like that?
@@ryanbuenconsejo5306 battery in the trunk is OEM, I had a strobe light system.
On your amplifier was the red positive or the white (RCA) wire
Yes, I used red as positive. I no longer use the amplifier shown on the video but usually red is going to be your positive.
Also why did you bring a wire towards the front
My question is, when connecting the RCA connection from the sub into the hilow converter. Are you disconnecting the sub from the OEM amp?
No, you can run the oem and aftermarket subwoofer at the same time since the oem subwoofer has its on amp from the aftermarket subwoofer. RCA is pure signal wire.
@@superrvolks One last question. Can I run the hilow converter from the wires on the two rear deck speakers into the subwoofer?
@@Realityvoidx I would look into your cars audio diagram to have a better understanding on where it would be best to pull signal from.
@@superrvolks I would love to have one, but there is little to no information for the 2024 audi rs3

What fuse did you connect the remote wire to… my amp Won’t go off
Probably the ignition fuse.

It should work if the Q5 has the same/similar oem subwoofer setup, look up the audio diagram before anything.
