2024 VW Golf R subwoofer upgrade
This video shows how to upgrade the factory Harmon Kardon subwoofer to a custom box with a Rockford Fosgate 12” shallow mount dual voice coil subwoofer in a 2024 VW Golf R (MK8).
I used the same subwoofer box I made for my previous 2016 VW Golf R and updated the wiring harness to match the new car.
The previous sub box build video can be found here: ruclips.net/video/uSMpKOPeJEc/видео.htmlsi=sRRf8FMUr1o-vCXS
This will fit the MK7 and MK8 Golf R and fit flush mounted under the rear hatch floor. The wiring harness is a little different in each model and requires a different plug. Otherwise it’s all the same and works in either car.

    Thanks for this video. I replaced my trunk harness and my trunk started working again on my 2012 VW CC. Yet, the trunk lights are still not working, my dash still shows the trunk open when it's closed, and I'm unable to lock my doors from the inside of the car. Any advice you can give? Thanks

    Why did you use two terminals for just one speaker? Just wondering because I’m doing this to my VW and just want to make sure I do it right

    • @chrismiller9776
      @chrismiller9776 Месяц назад

      Because the RF sub has dual voice coils. So 1 terminal and 1 set of wires for each voice coil.

  • @richierich6988

    Did you install an amp as well? If not, is there a noticeable difference in the base with the new sub compared to the factory sub?

      No amp. Yes there is a very noticeable difference in the bass with the RF sub vs. both the MK7 & MK8 factory subs.

    Thank you for the video. Your video made it possible for me to fix the issue myself. My '14 CC had intermittent issues with the trunk not opening with the key fob, door, and rear hatch. The rear lights were working fine. I ordered the OEM wire harness from FCP Euro. Here are my suggestions: 1. Definitely wear cut proof gloves. This will keep your hands from being cut by the sharp/rigid plastics. 2. I highly recommend using Nylon Pry Bar set (Harbor Freight). Metal screw driver will destroy the tabs. These tools allowed me to unlatch the 4 connectors located in the driver's side rear fender. I used the nylon pry bar to remove the connectors from the chassis. I also used the nylon pry bar to push into the connector. This released the connection tab to release the male plug. Nylon pry bars were also used to remove the tabs located throughout the lid of the trunk and the carpeted wall. 3. I removed the trunk lid liner completely. Remember to take a picture of the manual trunk release for reference. 4. Instead of removing the wiring completely, I pulled through the disconnected wiring harness from the bottom to top (trunk lid). Once the wiring harness was out, I disconnected the old connectors from the trunk lid and plugged the new connectors as I went along. 5. I was able to feed the 4 connectors into the rear quarter by using a blue tape to wrap the wires together. The wires were strong enough to feed without issues. I was able to put the panel pieces back without issues. Remember, do not force too much when working with the body panels. The metal clips for the trunk lid does move laterally, so be mindful when reinstalling them. I had to adjust few of my metal clips to line up with the slit/hole. Good luck! Thank you again for the video.

    I’ve never even changed a tire.. but a series of events later and I feel like I need a telling everyone I know that I just did this in less than 20min 💪🏻 👩🏻‍🔧 here’s the story, but for those who don’t want it, this WORKED and was so damn easy! And also there are two rubber covers on each side for the lights; you’re opening/removing the circular rubber seal from the ones closest to the rear of the car) I can’t see at night in CA, VW dealership doesn’t sell brighter lights, was told I could buy some and they’d put them in, auto parts place said they could put them depending upon the process, googled the process, found this…. I almost high-fived myself twice (after hearing one light click into place, then after turning my car on and their glorious beams shining - 1st engine start, around 10-15min after install) and I tell you no lies.

    Same problem happened to my 2015 cc. After 3 hours diagnosis by dealer ship and they pointed out the causes was due to trunk wire harness failure. Guess how much they gonna charge me.Up to 1500 bucks. And this not the end. That price is just for harness replacement. They say this is just the first step for the further inspection. Now I’ve picked up my car back trying to do this myself .

  • @jonclinkenbeard9776
    @jonclinkenbeard9776 Год назад

    Good job explaining and thanks for the good lighting. To fish the lines back down into the trunk, I used a tool to take the trunk lid off of the arm. It made fishing the lines a ton easier. I had no problems taking the old line out, where you said the little plastic pieces stuck, I just pulled the other way, no snags. All in all, a one hour fix. Cost about $100 for the cable. Who knows what it would’ve cost to get it fixed. Thanks again.
