Quadlock for amplifier in T6

[Pleh]

Hi everyone, I wasn't able to find this topic so I am opening a new one.

I have VW t6 from 2018 with rear speakers, could someone tell me if there is a quad lock harness that enables me to connect the external amplifier via 2 RCA connectors? I wasn't able to find this quad lock connector anywhere on the internet. And one note, I have OEM Discover Media.

I need something like this, but this one is for T5

I have a similar setup on my previous VW and it worked great, I have an active subwoofer that I would like to use.

Active subwoofers have speaker level input , so no need for RCA and nearly all have auto turn on

What model is it ?

This one has speaker and RCA input, it is Pioneer TS-WX20LPA

Just use speaker inputs. I did when adding underseat sub. There are adapter harnesses around but they were around £60 and there's not much room behind the stereo to stuff them. I solder spliced into the factory loom and set sub for auto on.

So you just added wires to speaker wired, and took them to sub ... you don't think it affected resistance because of the additional load?

Strictly speaking it's impedance not resistance as it's an AC signal not DC.

Line level outputs will generally be 0-1v, but speaker level outputs will more likely be in the 0-12v range (hence why often called high level)

Subs with a speaker level input should be able to both cope with those voltage levels and have an impedance such that it does not significantly alter the impedance seen by the main amplifier.
