Mk3 Leon st subwoofer wiring

Wow that’s impressive. Not sure I would get away with mine though... That adapter you linked to looks like it would do the trick, thanks.
Can I just ask, are the iso connections spurred off the quad lock so that you keep the full function of the original headunit speakers etc but have the option to connect in to the iso connectors for additional speakers feeds, ignition live etc?
So all I would really have to do is connect my sub feeds in to the iso connectors?
not sure how the ISO connectors are configured, I simply spliced into the wires so I can use the OEM head-unit with my after-market set up.
They do, but I need a usable boot, most of the time the boot floor is in the lower position.
Yeah can see from the photos, but I need it in the upper position. But I do fancy a sub again in the boot (had one in the 280 as part of Seat sound) but so little money and so many mods lol
I’ve recently started getting a dead battery so I’m pretty sure I’ve plugged my fuse in the wrong port, as when I open my car it fires the amp up straight away with no ignition, could you tell me where else I could plug the fuse as I use the cigarette lighter as I’ve converted it to a usb charging port lol... thanks
amp firing up when door open is normal, it should turn off after a few moments, this is just DC being picked up from radio as a door or boot is opened.
cigarette lighter should be active when ignition is on, this can be changed by moving fuse #40 so it's in line with other fuses, this makes it permanent live.
A quick question for those that have used a hi lo converter to add an aftermarket amp and subwoofer. Do you tap into the rear speakers so they still play or remove the connection for the rear speakers so they no longer play music?
The reason I ask, I have only seen a hi lo converter used once years ago (20 +) when it tapped into the rear speakers and overloaded the stereos amp chip. Obviously I don't want to do this
I'm looking to add a 2000 watt amp and a pair of 12" dvc subs running at 2 ohms

I tapped into my speaker cable, it's worked fine that way since installation. Haven't had any issues with the speakers either.
Yes as long as you only tap off of them. Like using a blue or red scotch block connector....
Can anyone tell me we’re is ground and remote turn on on the unit in glove box

Hi Marko70. Apologies for bringing up an old thread. I've been reading through ways of adding a subwoofer and amp into my Leon ST and saw the link you put for the ISO harness to tap into for speaker level outputs to connect to the amp without damaging the original cables. Does the ISO harness work as normal keeping all original functionality of the headunit/screen, like Bluetooth, microphone, nav etc? All I simply want to do is tap into the the front and rear speaker cables for a high to low level converter and keep everything else as it is
yes, everything else works as normal, all you're doing is taking a signal from speaker wiring.
Hi ross8469,
So I've recently added a sub and amp to my Leon. I used a vibe high to low level converter which you connect to the positive and negative feed of the infotainment unit in the glove box. The converter provides a remote wire which connects to the amplifier with extended wire. Turns on and off as it should with no battery drain.

This looks good , only problem is all I have in the glove box is an aux and usb. Is this what you mean
You should have the media unit in the glove box at the top which is what powers and provides all the information on the screen. Also this where all the power and speaker cables will plug into via an ISO cable. This does depend on what model of Leon you have and if you have Navigation
