Just got an Astra SRi 09

[09sri]

Hi guys

Just picked up an 09 Astra SRi.
Black on Black. Pretty impressed with it actually.
Am looking into changing the radio with one of the VMXII units from England
Or is it possible to hook up an amp and sub from the original radio?

Cheers
Steve

Welcome to the site mate!

You can hook up amps to the original unit with a sub, but I'll let the audi guys explain how :)

u just need an RCA converter and run the rear speaker lines to the amp via the converter, then to the sub. you will lose your rear speakers though.

that being said, the VXMMI has much better sound quality than the standard unit. the increase in sound quality was very noticeable when we changed from stock to a VXMMI (series 2)

and welcome :)

I bought a cheapy rca converter from super cheap and I still have my rear speakers... Don't cut the wire then attach directly to the converter... I bared a section in the middle and spiced it in from there... Still have very good sound from rears...

congrats on the purchase and welcome to the site!

Might give it a crack on the weekend. Just pulled all the audio gear out of the car I sold. Its begging to be installed in the astra.
