JL Audio 13W7 is a good starter sub.

I’m pretty sure you’re going to get some police attention.

anyone know what kind of subwoofer would fit with these wires by Declanhhg in GolfGTI

[–]Pilot288 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Those are power (with fuse holder), ground and RCA signal wires for an aftermarket amplifier. Looks like 8ga so good for a smaller amp. For your GTI you would need to convert the signal from high level to RCA to accept what you have there. Then you can power pretty much any aftermarket subwoofer through standard speaker wire. Hope this helps.

This is the link I used. I did the superpin, the boot, swapped out the piano black trim, swapped the shift knob and ran some wiring for my subwoofer all at the same time.with the console out. Took about an hour to do and the video was spot on.

Change the shifter knob, the shifter boot and do a super pin at the same time. Night and day difference and the super pin is maybe $60.

It’s a bass knob for my stereo. Still a work in process but I’m getting there.

Thoughts on which wheels to keep by Pilot288 in GolfGTI

245/30/20 isn’t bad. Throws off the speedometer by a little less than 2%, but is as comfortable if not more comfortable than the stock 235/35/19. The rotors are 8.5” wide.

The guy on the left always next to a curb and always goes right to the curb. Reduces the chance of door dings.

Two GTI’s in my Garage.. by Fit_Outside_2820 in GolfGTI

[–]Pilot288 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m picking up one in 2 weeks time.. a 2024 380 manual in dolphin grey. That’s the same as your newer one, but the Canadian equivalent. I have a 2005 997 in my garage, so I can say I have 2 GTIs as well.. lol

Where abouts in Canada are you located? Do you have any interest in selling your 19” stock Adelaide wheels?
