Does PR code 8RM mean I have a 4-channel amp with full-range signal?

Thank you very much! I am replacing a blown front bass speaker this weekend, I might try turning on the radio, when it is disconnected. If the tweeter stops playing they are connected as in your diagrams, if it works, the tweetet and bass is separate?

Think the car will throw fault codes if turned on With a speaker disconnected?😅

Even if the bass and tweeter are fed through the same line, they are separate units that have their own wires. I would expect that your tweeter would keep working, of course if the problem is only a blown bass, not a fault somewhere along the wiring.

Correct, ordered af used oem replacement unit, since it was cheap and dont want to disassemble the doorcard twice. But that is a side issue.

really im trying to find out how the Wiring is done, in order to better decide what dsp amp to get. Currently a bit hooked on the Option DSP 6, since it seems they make a version With software and harness for plug and play in the leon without seat sound/beats and WITH navigation (which is my exact specification).

@Pipzap

Did you get any further with the wiring investigation?

i can't understand how the same wiring is used, when you switch from standard sound to "Seat Sound", meaning that in first instance, the bass and treble/tweeters are split, then after config they signal is combined on the tweeter's line, yet somehow the bass drivers still work

@cairus that loom you made....I wonder

When you convert an 8RM system to Seat Sound (9RM?), the wiring positions on the quadlock have to be altered to suit the new configuration. I did a post sometime ago when I added Seat Sound to my car. When @East Yorkshire Retrofits supply/fit SS they provide an adapter loom that fits between the existing loom quadlock and the socket on the unit in the glovebox which gets over the need to alter the existing wiring.
