How We Installed 10" Sub and Speakers + Sound Test - Audi A5

Күн бұрын

This week we've got an opportunity to work on this amazing Audi A5. It's got a complete audio system makeover. We've got rid of all the stock speakers and replaced it with Audison and Hertz line which includes mid bass speakers (front and rear) + tweeters. We've also added a 10" sub to get that deep kick in the bass.
At the end it sounded so good, it would be pointless to compare it to the stock system. The highs are very clear and the system now covers a much bigger range - from the bass in the lows, all the way to the very high frequencies for that clarity of vocals and separation of different instruments.

How can you access the toolkit? Sure the sub gets fitted in the o/s/r storage compartment and bolted to the car? Lovely work on the sound deadening very much needed.

Thanks for showing what's possible guys! I didn't think anything could be done about the sound. My A4 has a centre dash speaker, would you upgrade that or delete it? Also where do you get the ignition on signal for the sub? I would come to you but being in Wales.. bit far

@CambridgeCarAudio Жыл бұрын

Hi, No problem. Delete the centre. There are multiple ignition feeds in the car. But you also need high level input too. Wales isn’t that far, come by and see us 🙏

Hello . I really appreciate what you did guys to this car. I have a question,if you please can give an answer... Tell me why did you put de 165 mm speakers instead of a 200 mm ?? I know that the original speakers have 200 mm . Why didnt install the Audison AP 8 ? Thanks !

I have to admit I was underwhelmed with the B&O stock system in my S5. Seems like the system is fine but the speakers they used aren't at all the premium level you'd expect from an upgraded sound system in a 70k+ car. So I'll be upgrading most of the speakers in my car in the coming months.

You specifically mention the "cheap cables" in the front doors but you use the very same cable for the mid bass. Is 20 gauge wire sufficient to run that mid bass?

@CambridgeCarAudio 2 жыл бұрын

When we add amplification, we always run new cables. On this occasion, we used the factory cables as the Prima range are very efficient speakers and are designed to run off cables like this and be powered from factory radios. Hope that helps :)

that sub is going nowhere without the velcro ... it's heavy ... anyway ... it's kicking strong because is a coupe car, if it where a sedan ... it will lose some basse ... and i think in the doors are 8 inch speakers ? and u put a 6.5 inch ... for more middle and voice ... i think if u chose an 8 inch it will sound difrently ... sory if i write wrong i'm from roumania :D anyway nice videos ... about the bmw ... i think is a good platform for sound mainiacs ... if u put some audison or focal or hertz and 80w or 60w rms of amplification on the midds and arround 200 w rms per subs ... the only donwside is that the bmw has a 4 inch mid speaker witch is a good speaker for voice but not so great for midds ... :(

@SlyFoxHowlsWolf Жыл бұрын

@@CambridgeCarAudio I get your question @Matthew. @Cambridge, most all amps, built in to subs or stand alone, have a max input wattage to their high-level / speaker-line inputs before burning out the circuitry. This typically maxes out around 40 watts. From Audison: "Connect the high level inputs using the proper plug. Applied signal must be between 1 V RMS and 22 V RMS. Don’t use it if you are already using Pre In preamplified connection." Note their range for high-level inputs and recommendation to not use in scenarios such as this install where the sub-line-level is amped to 70+ watts. Unless you use a High to RCA converter which can handle that wattage, the installed sub's amp will burn out early and not be covered by its warranty.
