Ace... A brother in Arms that is having an audio upgrade !!
I too hated the quality of the Bose.....in fact I'm surprised they put their name to it. Talking to the guys that are tackling mine they did saya that is was the poor output of the Audi unit, lack of sub that caused the issues

Sounds fab install....I'm going for the boot build, never thought of the footwell for sub.....(not very GF friendly with Slipknot or some old Pantera on full whack although that is her gig too)

Yeh the door pillars me too with some additional tweeters..need to hear that high hat
What head unit you going to use to replace the current hurdy gurdy ?

My guys have recommended a company that do a set of 3 way components that are built in to a panel that fits into the bottom of door and does away with the door pocket


Yours sounds ace Princey......least I'll have an audio Ally if you come to any shows

[Roy]

Does that come with auto reverse too ?

[princey4]

That sounds like jehnert door panels. I'm going to use the standard Audi head unit as with the mosconi I can line drive the signal and de eq at the same time to give me a clean strong input signal to amps. The reason I put the sub in the footwell is to keep the sound stage in front of my seating position making it easier for me to time align.

I'm afraid no auto reverse! It's only cheap equipment after all!!!!

awaits Roy's response to the last post

[Roy]

I would not know if what you had was top of the range or an Alan Sugar Amstrad special. if the Bose was not good enough for you 

then I cant wait to hear your set up !  

May I ask how much all this is costing you Inc fitting ?

 

It used to be Sharp radios when I was young or if you were real flash....Pioneer or Kenwood !!!

Of course you can ask but If I told you it was into 5 figures that gives you an idea of the level! The speakers alone are £2000!

[Roy]

£2000 just for speakers !! fakin ada !

 

That sound is going to be wicked and crisp and fresh and other sayings I dont  get.........................

 

Seriously if its that much its going to sound brilliant , I hope I get to see and hear it someday ...

[Pat]

Haaa it was sharp big time in my day but I've moved on

Wow 5 figures....you do get what you pay for with an install and how it's fitted so it should be outstanding
I thought mine at 4500 was excessive so I don't feel so bad now lol

[Roy]

£4500!!!

For a stereo system ? or a 5 figures for princey !!!?

 

Im so out of time with all this get up

[Pat]

Haaaaa Roy you must pull all the Nanas at the nursing home doin donuts in the RS lol

My 1st stereo was sharp cassette player (suppresors didn't work for a radio)in my Mk1 Escort 1300L twin choke running door speakers nicked from Rolls Royce where I served my 4 year sentence of machining boredom

[Roy]

I can remember having a Sharp head unit with an amp i dont remember the name of and the rear parcel shelf with the Pioneer speakers with the funny slats where the tweeters were,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, It was the nuts back then !

[Pat]

I'd forgot about Pioneer speakers in the parcel shelf....yeh they were so cool back in't day
Wood effect after market centre console that didn't fit at all and moved about

[princey4]

[Kelza]

Nice big difference I,m my opinion

[mrAudi]

here is a sneeky pic of the pillar speaker build!

 

what about the airbag thats in there, or will you get a speaker sized in-print in the side of your head if it goes off

[Kelza]

Lol good point Mr Audi !

[MacD]

The airbag is actually higher up usually cited above the door frame. It acts as a side impact curtain across the side window.

Shouldn't cause any issues.

[princey4]

I was just about to say exactly this! The airbag stops above where the highest speaker is.
