Hi. I was hoping to add the following sub to my 2015 S3 Saloon. I'm not an audio expert but handy enough that I reckon I can manage such an install.

My expectation is that there should be a connection available on the back of the unit in the glove box for this sub and that it will simply just work with the standard audio system. I am happy just to control the bass directly on the sub I know this won't integrate with the Audi system settings and don't care about that.
Can anyone tell me what sort of connector or wire that I'll need to use?
