Not sure if it’s something or not but mine is a factory refurbished unit. I wonder if it was a unit which had been returned because of this issue that had a fix done on it. As I said, not a peep from mine.

I would quote if I could but got no idea when I am getting anymore, plus prices are creeping up everywhereThanks for the replies guys. I'll do some more playing around over the next couple of days to see if I can get to the bottom of it.
So far I've tried the amp gain. 0 gain = thump. 50% gain = louder thump!
Cut the sub out the loop and the amp still thumped.
Don't think it's the head unit as this still happens when the headhunt is off. eg, unlock the doors and the amp powers on (no thump) then after 20 seconds the amp powers off with a thump.
My money is on the amp being the issue especially with 2 other users reporting the same issue in this thread.
If I can't solve it I'll probably have a go at the Kenwood so please PM me a price @Absolut5.
Did you guys buy the plug and play loom for the t5.1 and T6? I bought a generic quad lock to ISO for mine. Lots of wires and connections behind the head unit but no issues.
Well I was just tidying some wiring and mine has stopped working completely and I have removed it from the van :-( been through all the wiring to and from and checked the fuse but it’s absolutely dead. My Focal ISU200 8” speakers sound rubbish now! Any suggestions for a fix? Fingers crossed the seller on EBay will honor any warranty.
They are awesome, it’s just really noticeable the lack of punch on the low end when not driven properly even at moderate volumes. Nothing better than sticking Spotify on and cranking it up on a long drive. With the 8’s there is no need for a sub, especially if you listen to rock music as the range is so good. You need to spend the time deadening though to stop the resonance. I have Silent coat and the audio grade waffle foam everywhere including behind the door card and under the dashboard. Believe me, factory speakers are utter rubbish. I was like you until I changed them.
Speaker thump is history. I've already got an under seat sub so I do get plenty of bass and even more now with the vibe paired to the OEM speakers but yeah, I'm gonna go the whole hog by adding the focals and some sound deadening now the amp power off thump is beat. 
I struggled with fitting the adapter loom , but baulked at taking a multi tool to the rear plastic part- my solution was to feed the original loom ( including aerial feeds ) back through the hole on the rear right side of the head unit slot. It can the be fed through to the right and enter the slot from underneath ( behind the heater controls) where there is plenty of space to plug in the adapter loom and store the connectors

dont see why not . .
its a single channel sub box, so you would have to connect it to one of the rear speaker ports? either left or right?
you might have to activate the rear channels from the radio with VCDS as well.?
amp pdf here -
.
hold on . .
Vibe do two types.
a Passive speaker box (as i was refering to above)
and
a Active speaker box with built in amp.
which have you got?
++++++++++
speaker box - 2x terminals.
or
Active> thats has RCA inputs and needs power, ground, remote
like this one..

post a few pics of what you have, including the connections on the box?

in that case you will need to use the rear speaker cables, to connect to the sub.
or get a small amp to run off the RCA pre-out`s.
