VW T6.1 sound system (DSP) + subwoofer | V1 | Plug & Play | OPTION
The OPTION DSP6 amplifier drives the original front and rear speakers alongside the ROCK-3 bandpass subwoofer. The system is pre-set from the factory — only the high-pass front level and subwoofer level need adjusting via two potentiometers. The amplifier installs out of sight behind the dashboard.
The OPTION ROCK-3 delivers 130W RMS power handling in a compact, low-weight bandpass enclosure, providing powerful and clear bass reproduction from under the driver's or passenger's seat.
Installation uses the plug & play principle. Remove the car radio or base unit, integrate the included vehicle-specific wiring harness, then connect to the DSP6 amplifier and ROCK-3 subwoofer. No complicated wiring is required — all cables are included in the kit.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Do I need an amplifier for this subwoofer?
A: Yes, unless it is an active (powered) subwoofer with a built-in amplifier. Passive subwoofers need an external amplifier matched to the RMS power and impedance shown in the Specification tab.
Q: What does RMS power mean?
A: RMS is the continuous power a subwoofer can handle, and it is the number that matters when matching an amplifier. Peak or max figures describe short bursts only. Match your amplifier output to the RMS rating in the Specification tab.
Q: Can CEN build or supply an enclosure and fit everything?
A: Yes. CEN supplies enclosures and offers professional installation from our Nottingham premises, including amplifier wiring. Contact us to discuss your build.
Q: Does the T6.1 V1 kit replace the factory speakers?
A: No. The DSP6 amplifier powers the original front and rear speakers, and the ROCK-3 subwoofer adds bass.
Q: Which seat does the ROCK-3 fit under in the T6.1?
A: It fits under either the driver or the passenger seat.
Q: What adjustments can I make after fitting?
A: The system is pre-set. You can adjust the front high-pass and subwoofer level using two potentiometers, and a subwoofer level remote is included.
