What's the budget and currency? 😯

Yeah who's Bruce m

Curious to see what settings you have it in for treble/bass/sub. I’m trying to mess with mine because it doesn’t sound great but Im not sure if it’s just my settings or not

Wellllll the B&O is kinda low par compared to my buddies 2015 BMW M4 H&K sound system… his sound system is realllyyyy good from the factory, Audi kinda dropped the ball on this sound system.

@@93ChayZ I agree, my 2017 Volvo V60 R Design Platinum Harman Kardon system was way better than my current 2020 Audi A4 Allroad B&O . The B&O is good, but the HK was superb, that’s just my humble opinion

@@93ChayZ totally agree, my M4’s HK sounded better. The B&O is good, but not great for an upgraded system.

B&O. Bad and Overpriced

If you had the B&O system in the B8 before going B9 you’d understand. No base. Harsh highs. Rattling.

Turn the car upside down and shake it

Telescoping Magnet

Did you ever fix this? Just happened to me 🙃

Dynamat would definitely help.

Interesting. Im also finding the speakers I haven’t replaced now need replacing. I’ll likely order them and do another video going over all the replacements and upgrades I’ve done to date.

Could depend on the audio input as well. I’ve noticed that if I’m a streaming music on Apple Music it’s higher quality then some of the streaming stuff from Pandora and varies between songs as well.

I had B&O to start. I believe the Audi stock system has amps already, but the ohm values of the speakers may be different.

It’s hard to say, so much depends on the type of music you listen to and what other upgrades you’ve done. I also have a 10” JL sub and these do a great job of keeping up at higher volume levels. I also listen to a lot of books and podcasts, and they’re very well balanced for voice. I listen to all kinds of music and have no complaints with these.

@@Vaguh I followed the advice of the Audi World members as well and ordered the Aurum Cantus AC165/50C2C woofers, and will now order these Faitalpro mids for my S5 sportback. I'll be looking for replacement tweets in the lower A pillar soon too. I was debating on going with a full overhaul of the sound system, but wanted to see if I would be satisfied just changing out the speakers for better quality ones like many of you already have. I listen to all different types of stuff as well and like it pretty loud, so the 4 ohm version with the extra sensitivity should work best for me. I removed the stock sub and I'm currently running a single Image Dynamics IDMAX 12 sealed and Rockford T1500-1BDCP. Once I get all the new door speakers in my hands, I will be watching your vids to help with my install so thank you.

I’m not sure. I’d have to do some research.

The autumn Cantus I have are definitely nice an full for a mid range sub. They’re very punchy, like I feel my leg hairs shake from bad hits. Not sure if that’s what you’re looking for, but they won’t me too, low as the B&O programming in the amp will only pas certain frequencies. I would have to do some research into what model would be best, you could also reach out to Bruce.

I didn’t have any rattles before or after replacing this. I think it would be a good idea to have a look.

i do in my front right speaker

There’s likely a speaker there in that location. I’d have to look up the specs to say for sure which speaker you should use to replace it.

Faital Pro. I’ll get the tech specs in the next video.

Did you adjust the sound settings to boost treble and bass? I tried that but the treble isn't great sounding so I have it at default in the middle. I think the best option is to upgrade the tweeters in the A frame to get better quality.

@@RyanSheppard I think I’ve played around with everything at this point - the treble the bass, and moving the fader slightly back to take away from the dash. It’s just like the dash is shouting in your face, and you are only hearing the highest range of the vocals. Sounds really thin, and fatigues your ears

Absolutely!

Different sensitivity levels = less required wattage. plus cone materials and magnetivity., and definitely frequency reproduction on the higher end for example softer dome material can create softer high end treble on ears or harder speakers sounding more harsh for example. Just my opinion

I have the tweeters, but haven’t installed them yet. I’ll try to get on that soon.

@@Vaguh what did you buy?

@@marcinherman15 www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00DZJ5ICS?psc=1&ref=ppx_pop_mob_b_asin_title

What speakers does Bruce use for the front upgrades? It doesn't say on his website and couldn't tell from your video. I just want to see the speaker specs. There's another seller who uses Dayton's with his kit and want to compare

Yeah, Basser sold out of their boxes too. Looks like the other audio videos got a spike in traffic too. 😎

@@Vaguh I hope folks are at least clicking your affiliate link. You deserve it - since literally no other b9 channels are doing this type of in depth content - not to mention with a tutorial on the install.

I’ve heard those are great!

@@Vaguh there’s no comparison the clarity of burmester is unreal and you can push the speakers whereas the bang and O are just so flat and boring due to the presets which you can change but the parameters are so tight it’s pointless, I believe you get what you pay for when it comes to sound

My S550 has a burmester and it sounds great. The B&O, to so much.

B&O are so low rate, a couple of years I wanted some wireless head buds for the gym, so I went for B&O as I had read good things about them this was before I got sq5 what a waste of money they were I stopped using them the sounds was awful, why on Earth Audi changed from using Bose is beyond me or even if they used a high end system as an option and Bose as standard but B&O I think are an absolutely waste of money

amzn.to/3Aty1hZ added the link into the description too

After you did the upgrade, or from stock? I’ve seen some people have fixed this issue with some well placed foam strips.

Got too many complaints about it not sounding like a 10”. 🫤 Email me at jeremy@vaguh.com I can send you the link.

You may want to reach out to Bruce. Link in the description.

It must’ve sold out. I’ll let him know and we’ll get it fixed.

@@Vaguh Thanks!!

Looks like he ran out. We’ll get it working, ASAP.

Looks like they took them off the store. The speakers were there earlier.

You've probably figured it out already... Bruce put many items on backorder intentionally to force a conversation with him. He'll help you figure out which options you need.

Yes

Stock sub, or 10” JL in a Basser box? I have the settings in my amp almost all the way down.

@@Vaguh Stock sub. B9I S4. I want to blame the guy that did my tint because he removed the panels lol. Poor excuse. Ha ha. but I think it's the rear deck lid for the most part. It's a lot of work to dampen it but I dont see any other options. I've tried pressing the clips tighter but to no avail.

@@terrycorkum got it. I have the Sportback, so we had a tiny 6.5” sub under the spare tire. I think yours is a 10” in the rear deck. Try some foam tape under the grill.

@@Vaguh I tried the VW R Fender Sub fits over the spare in my A3 SP, planning to upgrade the speaker as well using your vid.

@@terrycorkum I had the same problem. Took it to the dealer twice. 2nd time they fix it. Added insulation I think. I can say the one thing I hate about these alcara are all the rattles

Yeah, the B&O electronics and tuning are great, but the speakers themselves are the same cheap paper cone speakers that are on all levels of systems. I’ve had the stock speakers blow out on the front already. This upgrade makes a huge improvement in clarity and range.

Yep.

I’m glad you’re happy with it. I upgraded the bass by adding a 10” subwoofer in the trunk. Even with the gain on the amp turned way down and the subwoofer control set low in the MMI, the stock speakers had a hard time keeping up and cutting through. I didn’t initially have an issue with the stock speakers, but trust me when I say, the aftermarket speakers are much more clear.

not false. the B&O in my 21’ RS5 is not that good at all. you must have never heard a good clean system in your life lol.

@@stealthhtm23 lol, my dad has a 2020 S550 w the upgraded Burmester sound system, and my mom has an S8 w the fully upgraded B&O, Iv been around some good sound systems

@@stealthhtm23 totally agree, just got my RS5 and I’m disappointed in the B&O. I feel like my M4 with the Harman Kardon system was better, and the B&O is supposed to be an upgrade from that.

@@gerry_mpxriders2297 I ended up just getting the Bruce Miranda center dash speaker, disconnected the oem sub, and put the JL Audio CP110 in the trunk, and made a world of a difference

Pretty sure they’re just Audi OEM. The B&O is mostly in the AMP audio tuning and number of speakers. These are Faital Pro speakers.
