I'm looking to add subwoofer output from the MIB2 STD2 +nav head unit that I have retrofitted into my 2014 vw jetta tdi. I have researched this and found out that there is a speaker 5, and a speaker 6 output on the back of that unit. I also noticed that the following table applies to my unit:
2 Channels / 4 Passive Speakers installed [PR-8RE]
2 Channels / 4 Passive Speakers installed [PR-8RH] OR Sound System [PR-9VE]
4 Channels / 6 Passive Speakers installed [PR-8RL]
4 Channels / 8 Passive Speakers installed [PR-8RM]
In VCDS, I see those options available, and these are pretty much the standard internal amp configurations. I'm not sure how to account for 8 speakers? But with the speaker 5, and speaker 6, is this normally going to the stock sub woofer? If it is, is this configuration only available as a pre-amp output? I have no problem adding an external amp, and have seen others just tap into the rear speaker outputs and add an amp to drive their subwoofer. Anyone know what speaker 5 and speaker 6 output is for if not subwoofer? If its an actual speaker output, is it amplified internally also? or is it just preamp outs?
Thanks,
Richard
