So the subwoofer receives the power, it dorsnt give it, the wiring should be able to hold what the amp gives to the factory sub, if you replace the sub the amp will still give the same power, the only time you should worry about wiring is when changing amps or wattage given

man can you please explain how you did the wearing. which one did u connect with positive to which negative. I spent hour trying to understand and I cannot. I can see u connected 2 red wires with the car and one to each with the connector and then 2 - wires together ??

@maximusoptimusTECH Жыл бұрын

Ohh yeah I’m sorry I maybe will add a pdf showing the wire configuration. There are two wires coming from the car (positive and negative) and the woofer is a dual coil design. So you need to either use a parallel or serial connection of the 2 voice coils from the 1 input of the car. The original Audi woofer was 8 ohms so a dual 4 Ohm aftermarket woofer need to be in series (resulting 8ohms) rather than parallel (resulting in 2 ohms). Therefore I connected the +(car)to+(coil1) from -(coil1)to+(coil2) from -(coil2)to-(car). I hope that helps 😅👍🏻

@maximusoptimusTECH 8 ай бұрын

It’s a dual voice coil woofer, so it has two 4ohm coils. You can either wire them in series (making it an 8ohm woofer) or parallel (making it a 2ohm). That gives you the flexibility to use it with the factory 8ohm amplifier or a more powerful aftermarket amp with 2ohms.

Not sure, never tried it. The thing is that the subwoofer braces the shelf near the hole. So could be possible that it rattles if you have a big woofer in the trunk. Just try it it’s really not that hard to remove the shelf, looks like more work than it is.

@maximusoptimusTECH 3 жыл бұрын

Important question, do you have the B&O oder the Audi Sound System? For the B&O the amplifier is fine, for the Audi Sound you should first do the VCDS coding otherwise you won’t hear any difference. Sold my A5 so put my Woofer in my S5 with the Audi Sound System (you can see me explaining in one of the latest videos) and that’s still awesome, no need for an extra amplifier. Just the top of the shelf is fine, no need for the rest of the trunk.

I'm in the process of doing the same with my audi a4 2014, I got the fostgate p3 and after installation it, it plays excessively soft to barely make a difference. I'm wondering if the stock amp cant push the speaker

@maximusoptimusTECH 4 жыл бұрын

Every speaker chassis has a specific efficiency which means how much watts it need to achieve a certain level of output. A more powerful speaker (designed to handle more power) also needs more power in order to play as loud as a “small” speaker. So the Rockford Fosgate P3 that u have used is designer to handle much more power than the one I used and of course a lot more that the stock subwoofer needs. As long as it gets enough power ist sounds better than the ones wich require less power. But when you use it with the stock amplifier it hasn’t enough watts to push the woofer loud enough. Luckily the battery in the A5 is located in the trunk so running a dedicated subwoofer amplifier using a high low converter to get the signal from the stock wires should not be a problem. Also the stock amplifier requires an 8 Ohm chassis otherwise it can damage the amplifier when used with less than 8 because when you have a lower resistance you draw more current which the amplifier isn’t supposed to handle. So I a dedicated subwoofer amplifier would not only give you a substantially better sound quality but also prevent your existing amplifier from killing itself

Maybe it’s a coincidence and your battery was nearly dead before disconnecting anyway. I never had any problem when I disconnected the battery (done it several times) but I also don’t have push to start (just the normal key) so maybe you need to code something. Just give your local Audi dealer or specialist a call and ask them.

@maximusoptimusTECH 2 жыл бұрын

Just look up how to wire a subwoofer with two voice coils. The two 4ohm coils are wired in series so the impedance matches the 8ohms of the factory woofer. If you were to wire them in parallel you would end up with 2ohm. So I connect the positive Audi wire to positive coil 1, then from negative coil 1 to positive coil 2, and front negative coil 2 I connect the negative Audi wire. The Audi wires are not labeled so just try out which way it sounds better. If that wasn’t detailed enough for you, feel free to contact me on Instagram (@maxiopti) ^^

I can’t be exactly sure if the effect was only down to the subwoofer because I also sound deadened the doors with damping material. But the doors, and the new subwoofer with the alubutyl on the rear shelf all together it defeinitly was that 10% improvement. Rattle isn’t there anymore (if you do the doors definitely check the windows mechanism, and tighten all the screws you see) and the bass sound a bit louder but deeper and much cleaner especially at higher volumes. It now definitely sound like a system that is worth of the B&O badge.

No, changing the sound profile works only with the basic and the Audi sound system. The B&O has a separate amplifier with its own software which you can’t even access with VCDS. But I can recommend sound deadening the doors as well for a better bass response from the mid woofers.

@maximusoptimusTECH 2 жыл бұрын

Der B&O Verstärker ist über den sogenannten MOST Bus angebunden, ein Lichtwellenleiter Netzwerk mit dem die verschiedenen Radio/Navi/CD Wechsler/Verstärker Geräte unter einander kommunizieren. An jedem Gerät (schau mal hinten Links beim MMI Modul nach) befindet sich ein Stecker mit zwei Kabeln (Eingang und Ausgang) des Lichtleiters.

@maximusoptimusTECH 4 жыл бұрын

It’s working out great, I would not say that the bass itself is louder than before (using the identical settings) you can just turn it louder without distorting too much or rattling the rear panels. If you want a night and day difference louder subwoofer you also need a separate amplifier which I will install in future video.

Moin, habe gestern die Arbeiten abgeschlossen... Da der Bass mir erbärmlich vorkam, bei der B&O, war das erste mal ne vernünftige Kiste hinten rein zu stellen. Über High Level Input, an die hinteren Lautsprecher angeschlossen war das schon immerhin ein Fortschritt. Aber nicht gut genug. Da fehlte definitiv noch etwas. Kam mir so vor, als ob der sich mit dem Original Subwoofer nicht verträgt. Dann gegoogelt und auf dein Video gestoßen... Nach mehreren Nächten nachdenken über Sinn und Unsinn einer solchen Maßnahme generell, der Gedanke: wenn schon denn schon. Also Sub geordert und das Auto auseinander gedengelt. Überraschender weise ist dabei nichts kaputt gegangen. Ist mir noch nicht bei vielen umbauten passiert. Erstmal Frust geschoben, weil der neue Sub tatsächlich kaum durch die Öffnung passte. (Sind die gewachsen?!). So also den ersten Abend mit dem Loch in der Hutablage gefahren. Und siehe da... Meine Kiste klang deutlich besser. Endlich atmet die mal in den Innenraum... Hm. Der Gedanke:reicht das? War wieder da? Nee. Probieren kann man es ja trotzdem mal. Also nen passenden Adapter Ring geschnitten, dann nochmal den zweiten, weil der erste nicht passte, und beide zusammen provisorisch auf die Hutablage befestigt, Sub rein und Feuer freu.... Wow... Die zwei vertragen sich gut!!! Die Kiste abgeklemmt um zu sehen wie es ohne ist, aber dann fehlt der wirklich tiefe Bass und das Volumen. Fühlt sich jedenfalls deutlich heftiger mit der Kiste an. Also, alles endgültig eingebaut, gedämmt,... Und seitdem endlich auch mal wieder ein grinsen im Gesicht, wie schon lang nicht mehr. Kofferraumdeckel auseinander genommen, gedämmt, Fahrertür gedämmt, (dabei endlich ne Halterung abgebrochen, ich wusste das wäre ja auch zu gut gelaufen) und der Rest wird am kommenden Wochenende gedämmt... Sound ist Super, dicht, Fett, Tief und endlich auch wieder zu spüren. Nur der Kofferraum, bzw vor allem die Stoßstange oder etwas in der Richtung klappert wie Sau. Das wird wohl noch arbeit. Nun das nächste... Gibt's keine Möglichkeit die billigen B&O Lautsprecher zu tauschen? Vor allem Bass in den Türen? Hat dazu jemand Erfahrung?! Die sind ja echt grottig. Wenn ich google finde ich nichts vernünftiges... Auf jeden Fall vielen Dank für Tipps und Inspiration!!! Weiter so!

@maximusoptimusTECH 2 жыл бұрын

Super, das Grinsen im Gesicht ist ja die Hauptsache :D Beim Rest der Lautsprecher sieht es leider relativ schwierig aus, zumindest die Mitteltöner und Hochtöner sind ja voll aktiv über den Verstärker in den Frequenzen getrennt, da müsste man erstmal die Trennfrequenzen der einzelnen Lautsprecher messen um die passenden Komponenten rauszusuchen. Dann gibt’s auch nicht viele/inzwischen keine direkten PlugAndPlay Lautsprecher mehr für den Audi. Alpine hatte ja mal die SPC 100/200AU aber das war ja auch nur für die Basic/AudiSound und nicht die B&O, da die eigenen Weichen/Verstärker beinhalten. Sonst ist eigentlich die einzige Alternative mitttels DSP zu arbeiten, alle alle Ausgänge des B&O in einen Prozessor rein, dann selber zusammen/neu abmischen und an eine eigene Endstufe mit 10 Kanälen + Center und Subwoofer Verstärker zu leiten, dann kannst du dir auch eigene Trennfrequenzen/Komponenten zusammenstellen und eventuell den Subwoofer stärker ins spiel nehmen/die Türen etwas im Bass entlasten. Aber da biste dann bei mehreren tausend Euro für die gesamte Installation. LG Max

Maybe it’s a dual voice coil woofer from the factory. I would not try those out of you the two positive wires to the woofer you could damage something. Ask your local Audi dealer if he can print out the page where the detailed wire connection for the sound systems are shown (it should say which colored wire carry’s what signal). Audi has those for every car and every detail in their system.
