    RS3 JL micro Subwoofer install (stealth)

    Hi all thought I would post a thread for the stealth JL subwoofer install I did on my RS3 saloon FL 2018 (NON-B&O) for anyone who's disappointed on the standard audio! Even though the RS3 saloon does have a factory fitted subwoofer in the rear deck. Before I start I am by no means a...

    low sub sound when driving? Sounds fine when parked

    Installed a sub last last week, sounds really good until I start driving, then sound goes noticeably quieter than idle or aux, any idea what it could be? (Had battery tested it’s fine) Power is wired to last post on battery fuse box. Any ideas? Thanks :)

    Any recommendations for speaker upgrade?

    Hi everyone, Looking to upgrade the speakers in my Audi A3 Sportback with a budget of £150. Only need speakers for the front as my trim didn't come with rear speaker connections. Do I need an amp or will it be ok without?

    No rear speakers in the A3 Sportback SE

    Hi everyone, I'm brand new to this forum and haven't much knowledge on car audio systems. I've just recently purchased a 2011 A3 Sportback SE for my second car and I am delighted with it. However, I am very disappointed with the audio quality. After a bit of research, I uncovered that the SE...

    All in one sub + amp for 8V S3 standard audio system

    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...

    Parcel shelf/pannel rattle (Saloon | Bose)

    I remember this from my B6's but I just tolerated it. I want to fix it this time. So when playing via the bose at a moderate volume (usually liquid or intelligent DnB which I like to drive to, sometimes more punchy stuff too) the panel between the boot and cabin let's off some raspy vibratey...

    Apple Carplay "tinny" sound

    Has anyone else noticed that when you play music through Carplay (I use Deezer) the sound is very tinny, about 50% quieter than normal and very low bass, it almost sounds like listening to music through £1 headphones from B&M.

    Door speaker high pitch whine with aftermarket headunit?

    I've installed a Sony XAV-1500 to my 2011 A3 S-Line with Bose speakers and everything was working great until I started the ignition, the main speakers all work but there's an intermittent high pitch whine from the two (are they tweeters?) small speakers next to the door handles in the rear. Its...

    Possible to have 6 Disc Changer + AUX Connection?

    Hi all, new to the website and forums in general. Been doing some searching online and haven't been able to find a way to have both the 6 Disc Changer and AUX cable (for phone audio). Going without one or the other would be a bit of a sad compromise. Cheers! Audi A4 B7, S Line, Bose Sound...

    Hi guys, As the title suggests, has anyone upgraded the sound system (mainly door speakers) from the B&O system to an aftermarket one? Dont get me wrong the B&O sounds nice but it's quite bass heavy and when you reduce the bass, everything sounds a little flat. I've played around with the...

    New S6 owner with a few questions

    Hello. My trusty 5-series died last week and after much deliberation I've opted for a 2007 A6 Avant S-Line. It seems very nice so far, if a little firm, but I'm sure I'll get used to it! Mad acceleration :) I do have a few questions though, and I hoped I could find answers here. They are: 1...
