What will I find when I remove the Stereo?

[Crazyoll]

I'm wanting to add a subwoofer and uprate the speakers in my mk2 'Ledo.
Ive found some good guides on how to remove the stereo unit, however, what i am trying to find out is what connections are on the back of the standard unit.
Would it be possible to wire an amp into the standard unit? Or will i need to change the Head unit.

Any infomation or ideas welcome. Also, would love to see photos if anyone has done an ice install in their Toledo.

Hello mate

I don't know the answers but you are probably best posting this in the ICE section - or better still having a search in that section yourself:

There are way more Leons owners on here and the set up will be the same in them and you should find some good examples for all tastes.

You could add an amp via a line-output converter... (some amps have these as inputs anyway)

but all you'll find on the back of the standard headunit are an aerial socket, ISO plugs, and a series of 3 coloured square plugs - or sockets for one or more of them - which control the CD changer (blue one) summink else (??) and the dashboard display/speed control

Thanks guys!
How does a line-out converter attach, T11EWL? into the ISO?

Wherever's convenient really... if it's for a sub and amps in the boot, just run a length of speaker wire from the speakers in the rear

if you are wanting to run a sub and amp you are best to change the headunit. it will give you more audio control over it.

also you lose a lot of quality running down the normal speaker cable.. you can pick up a half desent head unit for about £80.

a fasica will cost you about £6 form egay and you whould not need a cadle harness.

Thanks guys, I think i will change the headunit now. Seen one with two Preamp outs so should allow me to power everything i want.
Does anyone have any experience and advice on the best route to feed cables through a toledo into the boot.
Cheers

I routed mine underneath the driver's side carpet, then under the plastic thingies under the door sills then into the trunk. It's pouring outside right now but I can take pics tomorrow if you want.

I'd love to see some pictures UTA. Where did you pass it through from the engine bay?

I'm planning on soundproofing the bare metal in my boot. It'll be a mission but hopefully worth it.
Anyone else doen this. Would like to see some pics and get some info on your install UTA.
Cheers
