Thanks again Andy. I'm presuming that if it's the same spec that mean it's also prone to the volume problems? :(

I've just bought an a3 1.8T Quattro and I'm loving the ride... however I'm not loving the stereo. My old a3 had a MacStealth sub with alpine amp and headunit. the sound was lovely. This new car has a double din Symphony stereo and one of the front speakers seems to be farting badly at normal...

I've got one of Andy's subs in my old A3 and having just bought a new A3 with factory fitted sub I can really hear the difference. They are superb. If you can spare the cash buy one of andy's you won't regret it.

Do a search in this forum and you'll find it's a common problem with the concert head unit.

I reckon, on the weight of this conversation, that the paramentric EQ isn't really gonna be worth my time. I might play with it one day, if I'm really bored, but I'd probably do better to get my infinity Kappa components installed. they'll probably make far more difference than the EQ. If only...

I wish they'd provide some examples too. I really don't understand offering up such 'powerful' features without the ability to learn how to use them. I suppose I could just sit in my car for 24hours and fiddle with buttons and settings till it made sense to my ears. I'm still enjoying that...

I've been running a custom eq setting for a while now and it sounds fine but I feel like I'm missing out on something not using the 5band parametric eq. The manual is about as helpful as a kick in the nuts. Can anyone shed any light on what differences there are running a parametric eq compared...

Ta. Shall get some ordered and on the amp pronto! jbw

Hey Andy, Cheers for replying mate. Where would I go to get these Nyloc nuts? Would a diy store like focus stock these or do I have to head to halfords or ? ta, jbw

Ok, I followed the stealth sub install well over a year ago. Everything went swimmingly and I'm forever indebted to Mr AndyMac (he truely is a great chap). But due to the way I decided to mount the amp on the passenger side of the A3 I'm finding every 6 months or so I have to pull the panel off...

Soupz - if you can afford one of Andy's stealth subs I strongly recommend it. I bought one and not only is the sound quality excellent but the quality of build is awesome too. :thumbsup: Andy provides instructions which, as a novice ICE installer, I managed to follow easily but if you can't...

I'm also adding my support for AndyMac's subs. The sub he sold me has improved the sound of my stereo too. I was very impressed with the quality of finish on the enclosure too. They are well worth the money!

Cheers Andy! jbw

Congrats on your install. Can you play the troublesome playlist on the iPod (not through your audi link)? Are you using auto sync to get your tunes from the computer to the ipod cos I've come across weird happens when using auto sync with my ipod (missing off the end of tracks, skipping...

Can someone help me out with instructions on how to remove the front door cards? I've searched but I can't seem to find the info amongst the 750 search results. Also I've got some maystar speaker adaptors to fit my Kappa 50.5 components in my a3 but I can't seem to get them to fit over/around...

Already had an iPod so I also went down the alpine route and I'm very pleased with it. Playing stuff on random is cool, having personalised playlists for different moods is quality. Being able to access any of my 200 cds when I want is also top banana! There is also the added bonus of using...

It's all installed now. Just incase anyone else runs into the same problem (though I doubt it). I swapped the perm live and ignition live around on the alpine wiring, plugged it in and the power functions the same as the standard unit (turn key to position 1/start car and stereo will have power...

Thank you Andy. You're a true gent. I'm off to fit my headunit! ta, jbw

Hey guys, Thanks for the support with this. Can I just confirm that the following will make the correct connections? Before the Alpine power block there are connectors on both the ignition and perm live wires. With these connectors I can swap the ignition and perm live around by plugging Red...

I'm so close to finishing my install and I've hit a snag with fitting an Alpine 9853 in my '99 A3. I'm unsure about the power iso and the aerial connections. This is what I've got on the audi wiring: And this is the explanation from the top of the concert: This is the alpine power iso layout...
