cheers for all the help guys

does anyone know where the seat belt grounding point is in the 6n2 polo though ?

its basically where the end of the belt bolts on to the chassis so just follow it, undo bolt, put connection for amp and re-bolt....

tbh any decent installer will create their own earth point to a proper place on the chasis

I've posted up pictures of my grounding point, but tons of people have said its a bad earth point...

I'm getting my amp checked out 2moro anyway, so hopefully 2moro the system will be up and running again

well keep us informed....

Coils ? i dont know...the subs wired down to 1 Ohm and its a Dual Voice Coil if that helps anything ?

^^ Would this amp be enough ?

Hifonics TXi 7506

Specification

TXi 7506 750-Watt A/B-Class

1 x 325-Watts RMS @ 4-Ohms

1 x 500-Watts RMS @ 2-Ohms

1 x 750-Watts RMS @ 1-Ohm

that means its a dual 2 ohm sub

i would reccomend at least 800 rms for the sub

any amps you could recommend ?, so i take it that hifonics amp wouldn't be enough ?

Tbh i'd run a decent class D down to 1 ohm, get 1krms into it..

0 gauge would help, split into 4 gauge, or the higher if the amp would accept it..

Give Jez @ Highdown a call 01903 620922 he should be able to help over the phone, he's a really helpful guy and knows his sh*t about car audio

completely agree!!!

0 gauge wiring kit sounds expensive at £100 for an autoleads one, but once its bought thats all you need!!

p.s. the auto leads one goes from 0 gauge at battery to dizzy box splitting lead to a 4 guge for the amp, and vice versa for the ground 4 gauge leading to dizzy box to 0 gauge

Does the Autoleads kit include the distribution box?

I'd never buy a kit to be fair, 0 gauge is less than a tenner a metre off CAD, already got an RCA, speaker cable etc..

I've got a 0 Gauge ground cable then I've got phoenix gold RCA's and then the rest of the wiring is all 4 gauge...basically, i got the hifonics amp today...put it in...runs fine, just need to tune it now, get everything the way i want it to sound and then screw it onto the box...its kinda raggo at tha moment lol
