- Below we've listed the correct colors for the wiring on your MK7 Golf with Discover Media/Pro. We used the Rockford Fosgate P300-12 with a line out converter supporting a remote wire connection input and AV output.

Speaker wire colors:
Rear Right + :: Black white or Blue white
Rear Right - :: Blue white or Black white
Rear Left + :: Blue Black
Rear Left - :: White Black
Front Right + :: Red Green
Front Right - :: Brown Green
Front Left + :: Red Yellow
Front Left - :: Brown Yellow
Power + :: Red
Power - :: Brown
for future reference, always tap into the front speakers, you will get a better bass signal, as the rears have more bass roll off as you turn up the volume.
Piece of legendary advice for anyone adding sound to thier car, always keep a fire extinguisher in the car. Small one you get at a hardware store.
Just trust me on this.
Or install a fuse on the positive going to the 12v battery
You guys literally cut the harness...
Ever heard of a vacuum
best comment lmao
Which wire was for the remote?
No fuse on the power wire? Ouch
Yeah kits almost always include a fuse, I looked up his kit,
www.sonicelectronix.com/item_13217_InstallBay-8-Gauge-Amp-Kit-AK8.html
They include a fuse but it is not preinstalled inline on the power wire, they expect you to cut and install it. I do not see it installed in the video.... this is extremely dangerous
I have a golf 7, ive installed rear oval speakers with amp and a subwoofer in my trunk... i could not find a remote wire but my amps turn on with the high input signal.
You should never cut into you factory wire harness! Run a power directly to your battery with a fuse and find a ground that is close to the amp! These kind of videos make me cringe!
Fuse is built in to the amp and ground was ran directly underneath sub aka location of amp secondly he did run power from battery but your example would be saying to add all new speaker wires and make the rear a central hub for all to meet up. The kinda do it yourself budget idea goes out the window
You still need a fuse under the hood, no more than 12 inches from the battery. And as for DIY budget, do it right the first time, so you don't have to blow your budget getting your mistakes fixed..
@@toddjohnson1518 so you’d add multiple fuses when fuses provide what as well as protection oh yea resistance in Ohms so why make your circuit harder for a signal than keep it easy and your fuse on the sub will do the same job as the fuse under the hood aka the reason your sub don’t come with a fuse attached to it your amplifier will provide either a location for a power line fuse and signal output fuses but hey what do I know just a basics electrian not a car audio installer. Key note set up has multiple fuse at power connection for bother pwr and data out aka power in and line out sig if that’s better for you. Also these things usually come with a diagram from manufacturer so your saying they’ve invested how much time in a company and how much money to be wrong lol
@austinduglas7423 you really don't know anything about car audio, do you? Ok, since you don't know and understand, you put the fuse near the battery for protection, let's say for somereason, your grommet fails at the fire wall and the power cable gets cut down to bare wire, the fuse at the battery will pop before the fire starts! The size of fuse is determined by the amperage your amps are pulling.. so if your amps are pulling a total of 50amps, then you would put a 60 amp fuse. Always go 5 to 10 amps hire to allow enough amperage to pass on to your amp. No car audio shop would ever install an amp kit without a fuse under the hood.
Why didn’t you just splice into the rear speaker wires in the back? That’s what i did.
Why splice into the rear speakers at the head, why not just splice at the rear speaker?
Rear speakers are in the doors, it's easier to remove HU than removing door cards.
Who Has Installed A Subwoofer In Your Mk 7.5 So Far?
i will do it next week :)
Are the wirings the same for VW Atlas? I’m planning to install a kicker hideaway subwoofer
I will do it in saturday in my mk7
@@Luka-ov1hu Good luck with it.
Without slicing the factory harness.
I have done similar in my golf but I done it from the HU in the glove box and amplified all speakers but the front +/- wires seem to run to the front door card speakers and the tweeters in the front pillars.
Where did you guys the VW Wiring chart I’ve looked up and down online and can’t seem to find one
It’s not vw wiring, you just use the converter and splice them into rear speaker wires so it basically piggy backs the sound.
Could have used t splicers way faster
Did everything you did, have the same set up but my sub won’t shut off
In the mk6, on the radio harness there is a green plug and a blue one, I have an add on adapter for the amp, but the adapter does not include any connection for those cables, what are those cables? I can’t find it anywhere online
Does this car have any front collision or any other safety features built into the radio settings? Is this a true MK 7.5 facelift model?
Is that extra part you have absolutely necessary?
I have same sub and I know it supports high input impedance, so can you just wire up without using a high-low converter? I mean just wire up directly from speakers wires...
Yes. You can.
So, if you have the CD player in the glovebox, connections can be made on there instead of behind the actual console unit?
yes
Awesome video! Helps a lot with my install! I am using a LOC I got from bestbuy and I have the fender audio so I tapped my left (+/-) and right (+/-) to my wires in the trunk. My LOC has two ground wires, do you know if it’s necessary to ground these out? Thanks :)
how did your install go using the sub signal wire? Doesn't the crossfade of stock stereo affect the newly installed sub cause your using the cross fade of new sub?
I did this in the same exact car and now my radio won’t turn back on and I did it exactly like you did
I did not know you could spec a GTI so basic! Lol
They cheapened the 7.5... I have one and am disappointed with the head unit, especially lacking XM. BUT.... I do love the standard VAQ diff and R brakes on the ‘19
Hey so what was that device you used for ylur speakers?
It’s called a loc. Line output converter
@@chaz4310 do all LOC’s have a gain control ?
@@akidim13 yeah they should all have gain control on them. Some fancier ones come with a separate knob
@@chaz4310 okay bro thank you !! I got this same sub but the gain control on it doesn’t seem to affect it at all I think maybe I got to turn it up from the LOC
Hiw does it sound
Where did you attach the remote wire
yes you need it or else it wont power off the sub / amp so it will result on a empty battery in a few hours of the car sitting off
Connect it to the radio's 12v input so whenever you take out the car keys from the contact or turn it off it should power off the amp / sub
This installation is a complete mess! Not only did you completely mangle the factory harness but you did not install a fuse on the power wire running from the battery, which is extremely dangerous.
Doesn’t the 7.5 come with virtual dash, your car is a mk7
Only the Autobahn has the digital dash for 7.5’s. All 8’s have digital dash.
Remote wire? I have a golf 7 to... there is no such thing as a remote wire mate 😆
correct, thats what a line out converter is for. You can either get them with a remote wire or without
