Brother those aurum cantus woofers.....words can describe the change in sound. Thank you Bruce for the help. I just refused the oem connectors they pop right out. The sound is life changing. Everyone that has sat in the car have been completely amazed at the clarity of the base. Next up the center speaker and the matching 2 door speaker. THANK YOU FOR TAKING THE TIME TO MAKE THESE VIDEOS.

Did you get the woofer without the front silicone cover? The only website that sells it doesn’t have the custom upgrades this guy has. The light gray cone thingy that fits on the front of the woofer

Thanks for the videos! It made upgrading the speakers easy and the sound quality difference is unreal. Bruce was a great help too! Thanks again.

Been waiting on this. Thank you so much.

Thanks for videos!! I just completed the same setup in my b9 S5 sportback. It sounds 100x better than the B&O speakers. I'm not mechanical at all and your videos helped tremendously in getting through the install. I had to reach out to Bruce for the rear door tweeters. He responded quickly! but it wasn't too bad. I also upgraded the factory subwoofer following your other video. Next project is installing the JL woofer, basser box, kicker amp setup.. Hell you got me even thinking about a stage 1 tune. Thanks!

Just wrapped up my upgrade using this video and your center channel video. The difference is incredible, thank you for taking the time to show everyone how to remove these panels etc. My driverside door took 45 min, passenger side was maybe 20.

What’s the spec of the stock mid-range and woofer on the door? Thank you so much!

@BobbyKinstle

2 жыл бұрын

4" mid-range, 4 ohm, 20W. The real problem is the depth is super shallow and i can only find two drivers that fit there. The peerless GBS 4.5" fits but sold out everywhere. The fatal pro fe32 with neodymium magnets also fits, but I usually suggest getting the 8 ohm version because it's very bright. a Also put some foam behind it in you can to tame the back reflections. The door woofer is an 8 ohm 100 watt 4 in x 6 in square driver in a horn load but most 6 and 1/2 in woofers can fit in here easily. The tricky part is finding a good one that is 8 ohms and also has a low free air resonance below 40 hertz. I originally used the aurum cantus 7-in in my car and had to make my own brackets using the horn. The prefab brackets that are available now that take 6 and 1/2-in woofers are much easier to work with so I generally recommend using the ac-165 series speakers.
