Solutie...cel putin pentru mine!! Am un A4 din 2012 3G+ cu sistemu de sonorizare standard de 8 difuzoare passive (fara Ass sau B&O) si la fel ca toata lumea eram extrem de dezamagit de calitatea sunetului și ma gândeam la toate posibilitățile de improvement de la schimbat boxe subwoofer etc. pana cand într-o zi cand am găsit un post pe un forum în Germania despre un tweak în Vcds care aparent ar avea rezultate șocante. Citit și făcut!rezultatul în putine cuvinte WOW în sfârșit a apărut bass-ul. Momentan sunt încă pe boxele stock ale mașini și pot spune ca fără nici o investiție în sfârșit ma pot bucura de muzica din mașină. Aparent în Vcds la modulul 56 Radio la Byte 4 (sound profile) se poate alege Între 01 Amplificator intern(cazul meu) și 00 Amplificator extern(ceea ce am și ales). Sper sa va ajute și pe voi și sa va pună și vouă un zâmbet pana la urechi cum a fost cazul meu😁 Mai jos aveți post-ul original tradus în engleza. VeteranA4 on May 12, 2018 at 11:19 am Hello, Since I have the same absolutely unbelievably bad passive system in my 2014 B8 Avant with MMI, I was also looking for an improvement. Fortunately, I can suggest a sufficient solution for everyone who really wants to have a much better sound or bass without additional costs: In the coding of the radio unit, i.e. the box that is located in the back left of the trunk, you can choose between the "sound profiles": "external amplifier(00)" and "internal amplifier (01)" in byte 4. For me, "Sound profile: internal amplifier" was selected as standard. So I just switched to "external" and saved it. At first I was a little disappointed that I couldn't find any difference at all, not even after a forced restart of the MMI. But since everything still worked, the coding couldn't be wrong and that's why I left it that way. A day later I was really shocked (in a positive sense) that I could now feel the significantly better bass that was practically non-existent before: D If you then also turn up the bass control in the sound settings a bit, the bass pushes really well, making the window panes vibrate noticeably. So try it out and don't be too impatient, the bus or the control units will probably have to fall asleep first to accept the new value. greeting veteran

The original speakers are 2ohm most aftermarket 3 or 4 ohm if the speaker rms is to high your headunit cant send enough power to move the new speaker i had the same issue with my B8.5. replaced my stock speakers for 70w rms 210w peakspeakers, but was not as loud as the stock ones

As far as I know there is no filter in the door. But never searched exactly where the wires go. The dash tweeter is in parallel with the big driver in the door and it just has it's own capacitor on it as a filter.

At around 39 mins in your video, you said so should have made the spacers a little smaller. Could you share what measurements you would have used? And what were your final measurements?

Hi! I love your Audi videos. Fantastic! I’m doing the door speakers and wanted to confirm that the existing stock ones (non- B&O) were 4 ohm.

Жыл бұрын

For me it's really hard to quantify, as I never properly heard the original ones while receiving full frequencies. But my guess is that if you don't also upgrade the amplification, you will not hear a great difference between stock and upgraded speakers.

Could a 6x8/5x7 also fit in that opening of the fron door?

@UltimateDIY

Ай бұрын

I give the dimensions of the speaker I install in the video. If the one you want to install is smaller, it will fit. If it's bigger, it will not.

I've just seen on a different video that stock Audi (symphony) setups have two amplifier signal setups. Audi nerfed the bass response and for B&O systems the whole care gets the full signal. This is probably why the front speakers got ZERO bass and that sucks that you had to swap the signals off the stock amp to get a bass response up front. You can however enable in VCDS the signal output to what the upgraded sound systems would get. Stupid...
