Great tutorial and great English for a non-native speaker!
Thanks, that’s really great to hear especially when I plan to continue with english videos :D
Even for a native speaker
Do you know what each color represents on the factory subwoofer plug?
My plug has 4 wires…which one is left, right, negative, positive etc ?
Your English is legit bro, don’t sweat it! 🇺🇸
Thanks man, really appreciate it 🙏🏻
Your English is excellent! I think the subwoofer in my 2013 A5 Convertible is awesome though. I have the subwoofer control set all the way up and it already sounds awesome. I wouldn't want to go through all that trouble for a little extra bass, but I'm sure it sounds great for you now. Also, I have no rattles with the stock B&O system.
I just did this upgrade in my A4 and it is a game changer! I want to thank you so much for doing this video and showing us this mod. It couldn't have worked out any better and the 10inch sub sounds way better that the 8. I am going to help another friend with their upgrade too.
You’re welcome :D
Always nice to hear that more people liked some mods I did.
I have an Audi A4 as well! My 8 inch sub went out :( Best Buy talking about they can’t install an oem one for me so maybe you could help. Could I get the link of the sub you got for your Audi A4?
It’s the one from the video ^^
@@maximusoptimusTECH oh alright. And it’s not hard fitting a 10 inch sub from maybe another brand in the original spot?
How many om your aftermarket sub ?
Couldn't have chosen a better demo song. Banging. Good work
Awesome video. Nice to see car Audio fanatics from other parts of the world. No politics, no races, just car audio! Peace my brotha
Thanks man, really appreciate it :D
AWESOME vid Max! Haven't seen one for a B8.5 coupe before. For the C-pillar, what I did was work the trim tool around the quarter panel window and pop that clip out first (you can hear it), THEN remove the airbag clip. Popping out that first clip really seemed to make removing the airbag clip a lot easier.
Thanks man, appreciate that :D okey good to know, if I ever need to service the subwoofer again I will try your method 👍🏻
I was so happy to see the A5 be a 6MT!
I see you’re a man of culture as well
Really nice video man! Keep up the English stuff no problem understanding you at all 🤟
danke schön. Thanks for taking the time to do a great Video and Especially doing it in English. I really like your attention to detail and taking the time to do A decent installation.
Because some people asked this, I used the factory B&O Amplifier as I found it delivering adequate power for the new Subwoofer. Of course you can achieve an even louder bass with an aftermarket amplifier.
one question, did you put alubutyl over the trunk led? I can't see it in the video as its to dark
Yes I did, because the plastic housing was rattling
Do you have the specs of the factory amp?
Sorry I don’t have
Great video perfect for my car when I change my speaker I will be dropping a 10’’ 1500 W 500 watts rms sub in Do you think I have any problems with the standard amplifier??
He did such a good job 👍🏽
Yeah its the accent
Have a picture of how you connected the subwoofer wires
gut gemacht. bin froh da nich auch so ewig am Airbag rumtüdeln zu müssen. 👍🏻
Thank you so much, I now know exactly what I need to do to solve my problem.
Great Video! Thank you so much
Just did this upgrade last week, thanks to your video; it went smoothly, and it sounds AMAZING. Thank you so much!!
I may have to take it back out because I realized I missed the step of cutting the notch for the woofer and cutting the tab on the speaker cover 😳 I hope I didn’t puncture the sub 🥴
Haha you’re welcome, and did you puncture it? Or is everything alright 😬
Great video! Thank you for making it. I'm in the process of gathering all of the materials I need to replace the sub woofer in our 2015 A5 quattro. What gauge speaker wire should I buy?
Your English is just fine. Very good actually...
Thanks, that means a lot :D
Vielen Dank Für dein Video Top,das hat mir weitergeholfen ich wäre niemals drauf gekommen die Airbag Embleme rauszuholen 👍😅
Gern geschehen, das freut mich dir da geholfen zu haben :D
@@maximusoptimusTECH Werden noch Videos von deinem A5 kommen ?
Die beste Hilfe!
Good video, I just fitted one in mine can you tell me which colour is positive thanks
Done like a pro uber allen!
Hahah danke :D
Nice work man.
Thanks, appreciate it
Instead of trimming the plastic rear shelf trim, a 1/2" thick piece of plywood used as your template instead of 1" thick would have made the install 10x easier. Great upgrade, keep up the good work.
Thanks man appreciate it :D
I don’t know if I told in the video but I needed the thicker wood, because the sub isn’t a 100% perfect fit, but when you raise it a bit the hole is big enough. So I decided instead of cutting the metal shelf to cut the plastic piece.
You speak better english than many native speakers.
Welches von den beiden Audiokabeln des originalen subwoofers, welche man abknipst kommt an die schwarzen Anschlüsse des subs und welche an die roten?
Top Video habe mir grade alles bestellt müsste Mittwoch da sein und wird direkt verbaut
What torx bit size is the bolts for the subwoofer
spitze video. dein Englisch ist ausgezeichnet, der deutsche Akzent kommt immer gut an... Cheers aus den USA
Dankeschön :D
Thanks man, cheers.
Please ask to make a video how to install Amplifier for Audi B9. thank you
nice job !
nice work!!
Thanks man :D
Hey dude, thanks for your videos, don't stop creating, it's really helpfull 👍
Question: If I have not a bang & olufsen system, can I install a subwoofer like yours?
Because the maximum power of this woofer is 400 watts, and I'm not sure that my electrical wiring will survive under this stuff 🙃
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
Do you know the size of the original B&O subwoofer?
Nice job dude. I think you did an amazing job with what you had to work with, I'd like to upgrade my woofer in my 2015 AUDI A5 Sport back and I may even do a video of the process. Mind you it will be different because mines a 4 door hatch and the woofer is under the space saver emergency wheel/ tyre.
Yeah you have an easier job upgrading. If you look online I think they recommend a 6.5” kicker to replace the factory woofer and then some sound deadening to improve the plastic housing. Or do you plan to go full custom and built a wooden/fibreglass box?
@@maximusoptimusTECH yeah I'm not going to go that far I just want to add sound deadening and brand new woofer to fit relatively easily without having to hack into OEM car. I'd also like to upgrade all speakers eventually cause I think there all paper cones. I most likely will add one of those fancy boxes so I can use aftermarket amps. Hence why I'll be keeping this video for safe keeping to reference if I get stuck.
I really hope I’m not too late to ask. With the settings on the stereo, would adjusting the bass directly affect the subwoofer? (Like setting the bass low would also lower the subwoofer?)
It does adjust the whole bass range, so the midwoofers in the door as well as the subwoofer.
After watching this video then looking at my sub woofer, I realized this woofer faces upward. My woofer faces downward. Looks like you get more bass clarity with the woofer facing upward. This way the trunk acts like a box instead of the other way around.
The trunk acts as a box either way, the direction of the woofer only changes the phase/polarity.
I'm going to do a similar job soon with my A8 D4 Face lift model. But I will see if I can somehow fit a 12 inch sub there 🤔 😮
Hello. The original sub had a magnet on top so the new speaker can play in opposite phase. Check on the new speaker if changing the polarity does not bring better sound.
Yes I know, you don’t even know which cable is positive and wich negative because it isn’t labeled. So I just had to try both ways and check which sounded better.
@@maximusoptimusTECH was the difference?
@@maximusoptimusTECH On the forums, it says white wire with yellow stripe is POS+: Blue wire with Yellow stripe is NEG-. I guess you can confirm with multimeter??
@@cjohnson8991 So since the new sub in flipped compared to the original, reversing the polarity, would you wire the blue/yellow as positive in this case?
@@Justin-rm6qo To be honest, I did this a while ago so I don't remember what colors I did. I simply used a multimeter on the wires to confirm pos/neg and wired it up appropriately. I used the AudioControl LC2i and a 750w RMS amp to power an old JL 10W6v2 in a box. It's a MASSIVE upgrade over the B&O amp.
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
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
@@maximusoptimusTECH I’ve brought a Rockford r1s2 witch has 2 ohms can I use this and for some reason when I turn up the sound it pops?
It seems the Rockford Fosgate R2SD4-10 is not infinite baffle compatible like you mentioned in video. Does it still sound better than stock? I don't need louder, but would like higher quality.
I want to know too😢
Hey, good job! Maybe i could do it the same with 12” sub?
I'm looking to upgrade my sub on my b8.5 s5. Do u need to upgrade the amp?
How has it been holding up? Any rattle? Also the dynomat. Do u need to put it underneath the trunk or boot surrounding the sub area too?
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.
would this also be the same process to the non b&o system as well? looking at doing this but with the jl audio sub
Yes I did the exact same mod in my S5 with just the Audi Sound System. It is the same for all sound systems with a subwoofer as long it’s the coupe.
Hi. Schöner Umbau. Habe das selbe problem mit meiner Bose anlage im Renault talisman. Hinten in der ablage sitzen 2 woofer. Machen schon Bass aber gehts so. Wurde die gerne tauschen. Mein problem ist das ich nicht weiß auf wieviel ohm die lautsprecher laufen und ob die Endstufe genug kraft hat um die neuen boxen zu betreiben. Und ob man da ein unterschied merkt. Kannst du mir da helfen ? Uber eine antwort würde ich mich freuen. Lg
nice one bro
Doing this mod over Xmas, got one of the last subwoofers available online. What size mdf board did you use for spacer?
Nice, have fun with your project. I think it was 2cm thick, but to be sure measure for yourself before building.
Hey maxiopti. Random question but do u still have the template you used for the wood. I've done everything except make the wood template
Sorry mate, you’ll have to mausre yourself 😅
I sadly lost it while moving
hey how do you connect your phone via bluetooth ? mine only works with phonecalls
I am using the need4stream Bluetooth adapter. You can see the adapter in my other videos about the Audi. It depends if you have the Audi Music Interface or not there are 2 different ones.
hey i have a question, do you think this will work in an 2016 audi a6 with the Bose system? i know that they are a bit different in how they work
I have no idea about the A6 or the Bose system. But if this subwoofer fits in the location I guess it should be alright as well.
that sub slaps. holy shit
Yeah really levels up the experience :D
On the factory wiring for the factory subwoofer, which wire is positive and which is negative?
I can’t say for sure, just try both and see which sounds better.
Your English is almost better then mine and I'm american born and raised 😆
Haha thank you, that means a lot :D
Was ist das bei Minute 13:35? Dicht Masse? Genaue Bezeichnung davon wäre hilfreich :)
looks like in the RS3 the sub has 4 pairs of wires and not two going to the oem sub.. looks like i gotta figure out whats positive and whats negative :)
also for the rs3 its does not clear.. the whole is smaller in diameter compared to the a4 it looks like :(
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 ??
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 😅👍🏻
Gab es außer der Größe einen anderen warum du dich für das Slim Modell R2SD4-10 entschieden hast anstatt des R2D4-10? LG
The wiring was one of the most important parts and bro sped through it lmao
Hey i just installed mine in yesterday but when i got done to turn on car after about 2/3hrs the car wouldnt start everything works inside just it won’t fire up but when i try to push/start it it comes on but no start but makes clicking noise like battery is dead 🧐🧐 do i need to jump it or since i disconnected the battery for a while it needs to be recoded??
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.
Was just looking at this sub on the RF website and it states it should not be used as an Infinite Baffle sub, I wanted to use the same one in my car - is there any negative effects is using it in that manner?
Yes it seems like I misread about that in a forum. But nonetheless am impressed in the B&O as well as an Audi Sound System with this woofer. It’s nothing crazy compared to a box in the trunk, but for an OEM replacement it’s perfect.
Hi bro.
You said in the video that the subwoofer you selected is 8ohm’s .
However on Amazon it appears to be 4ohm’s ? Can you please let me know if it maybe was a mistake at your end ?
Thanks !
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.
Does upgrading any of the sound system yourself mess with them warranty?
I don’t know, but I’m pretty sure that if you damage your amplifier or something else while doing an upgrade it highly depends on the generosity of your dealer ^^
Hi,do you use a B&O amplifier???
Yes he does
I have a a4 b8 with the standard audi sound system, i measure my subwoofer its 4ohm, if i put this subwoofer its okay?
If you have the AudiSoundSystem you can also buy the same woofer with the dual 2ohm coils not the dual 4ohm in the video, so you can wire the 2ohms in series as 4ohm same as the Audi subwoofer.
Sehr schönes Tutorial. Das muss ich auf meinem 2011 S5 tun. Hast du auch die Türen und Rückwände gemacht und welches Material hast du verwendet?
Bei dem A5 hatte ich nur den Subwoofer gemacht, hab aber inzwischen auch einen 2011er S5, echt geiles Teil. Da habe ich den Subwoofer dann auch reingebaut. Bei dem S5 hab ich wie im neusten Video zu sehen aber auch die Frontlautsprecher und Türen gemacht. Hab nen Alpine SPC100 AU verbaut mit Alubutyl und Stoffdämmung in den Türen.
@@maximusoptimusTECH Ja, ich habe das Video jetzt gesehen und ich bin schockiert über den Mangel an Schalldämpfungsmaterial. Das B&O System ist nicht so schlecht, aber das Rasseln ist schrecklich
Hello
Do you have an diagram for how you did the wires on the sub as it has 4 wires going into the factory plug
Thanks ☺️
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) ^^
@@maximusoptimusTECH thank you very much, yes I understand perfectly, thanks 😊
@maxiopti, seriously considering this mod for my RS5, I got a Lc2i on the way and intended doing a 10" Rockford Fosgate R2 enclosure Running around 200rms (class D amp).... But now ive seen this I wonder how much better over factory this would be?, I'm looking for only a little bit extra bass and volume over existing (10% improvement to fully balance the system). In your opinion does this mod live upto that sort of expectation?. I listen to a fair bit of Keane Dysso, Moti, Oliver Heldens etc and always feel the stock system could use a little bump and a little less rattle.
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.
@@maximusoptimusTECH got some 2mm damper matting on the way to do front doors, I'm now toying with idea of running a powered 8" sub through the ski hatch or just behind it (opened up), around 200 RMS. I see Kenwood and Rockford Fosgate do some Nice 8" units. Still tempted to try your mod but fussing over the sound quality of IB mounting vs enclosed.
That sound interesting as well and a proper enclosure will always result in better and louder bass. It just wasn’t an option for me because it would have seriously limited the cargo and loading capacity...
@@maximusoptimusTECH with the sound deadning to you also line the door card skin with foam or just dynamat on inner door, outer door and door card?
I put the dynamat on the inner and outer door as well as on the larger surfaces of door card, and then I also put some fleece,foam stuff on the whole door card.
Is it possible to install 2 subs on both side just like u just did ?
What do you mean by both sides?
Sollte man die Batterie abklemmen damit der airbag einen nicht um die Ohren fliegt während man die kleinen airbag Klipse rausmacht oder kann man alles so lassen und die Batterie angeschlossen ?
Also wenn du da nicht wie ein wahnsinniger rumstocherst kannst du die Batterie dran lassen. Aber es ist auch überhaupt kein großes Ding die kurz abzuklemmen und wieder dran zu machen.
Clean. Did you notice any rattle in the back panels and woofer cover?
Nope not at all, the whole shelf is rock solid after you put some dynamat on it
@@maximusoptimusTECH cool.
Did you need to use an amp or anything else or was this just a drop in with factory amp?
This works just with the factory amp. Although a more powerful amp will provide bigger results.
Eine kurze Frage...
Hast du vorher das ganze ausgesichert bevor du daran gearbeitet hast? :D
Hab nämlich vor ähnliche Arbeiten auszuführen
Nein, hab alles so gelassen wie es ist. Bei der Arbeit an Lautsprechern kann eigentlich nichts passieren
No rattles in the deck / shelf area?
Also, you have no sound insulation under the deck metal frame, it's not needed there?
Absolutely no rattle from there, the most noise came from the trunk LED housing so secure that properly. It does not matter an which side of the metal you put the insulation, it just makes the whole deck heavier which eliminates resonance, and so the trunk looks completely stock apart from bigger woofer which in my opinion look better anyway.
@@maximusoptimusTECH I've paid a guy for soundproofing and he put on mine both on the top and the bottom of the deck hoping to solve the rattle. He haven't.
And I've just investigated more, with knocking over and pressing, and the main culprit it seems to be the 3rd brake light. When the weather wam up i will take a look there
Thanks for replying!
Where is the subwoofer with the sport back version?
It’s below the trunk floor, where the battery is ^^
I believe stock Audi system is 8 Ohm? can you please let me know if you wired it for 8 Ohm? Some info on wiring would be great! Thank you!
Yeah it is 8 ohm and I wired the dual voice coils for 8 ohm.
@@maximusoptimusTECH whats the wiring kit you used im so confused on what wiring to buy to connect my after market sub
Um den subwoofer einfach nur zu tauschen ohne Upgrade, reicht es da wenn man nur die obere Blende an der Hutablage Wegmacht, oder muss man trotzdem die komplette hintere Verkleidung abnehmen ? Grüße
Also das dürfte ziemlich schwierig werden, aber mit genug Gefummel kannst du es vielleicht schaffen. Wenn’s dann nicht geht musst halt zur Not doch alles ausbauen.
Excellent English!! I am looking to remove my factory sub in the parcel shelf and leave the hole as to allow the aftermarket sub in the boot abit of air movement. Is the reason you have to take the parcel shelf out due to the size of the factory subs diameter and it won’t squeeze through the parcel shelf whilst in position? I really don’t what to remove everything to get the sub out…
Thanks :D
You need to remove the whole shelf if you want to remove the subwoofer. There is no way to remove it without access from the top.
Thank you, appreciate the response. You you agree removal of factory sub would benefit the aftermarket enclosed sub in the boot? That air passage should help,…?
@maximusoptimusTECH good idea or no?
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.
Why upgrade a B&O sound system?
Because the low bass from the subwoofer was basically non existent
This is a common problem among the B&O Systems in the B8 A4 and A5 Audis..
Hi there, can you please tell me how do you listen music from your phone? What did you buy for it? Thank you and great Video
I have several videos with adapters for Bluetooth and CarPlay on my channel. Feel free to check them out, if you have more questions just ask anytime
@@maximusoptimusTECH ja danke ich hab die gefunden 💪🏼
So as a german will I prefer this car over my E90?
You can't really compare BMW and Audis in general. It highly depends on the model, what you want from the car and how you like to drive...
What is the size of the stock subwoofer?
It’s close to 8 inch/20 cm I think.
Is this the same for a 2008?
Yeah it’s the same. I fact it’s the same for all B8 coupes from 07-15.
how is it working out? i want to do this on my RS3 I was looking for a IB sub. I noticed the sub you use is not infinite baffle. At least the one you life is not its is made for a seal or ported box according to the manual. Only IB subs Rockford makes is for boats. Is it a night and day difference over stock?
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.
Tolles Tutorial, herzlichen Dank! Hab's mir einfach gemacht und gehe genau so vor, gemäss deiner Einkaufsliste.
Frage: Wie dick war die MDF-/Holzplatte? 18mm?
Dankeschön, viel Spaß damit. Ich meine die war 2cm dick.
@@maximusoptimusTECH die vorfreude steigt. Sub ist schon da, rest hol ich nächste woche. Denkst nicht weniger stärke wäre besser sodass es unter die abdeckung passt? Sieht mir so aus als ob es wegen wenigen millimetern wegdremeln musstest...
Das Problem war ja, dass der Sub hoch genug ist um in die Öffnung zu passen. Ob das jetzt noch 1-2mm mehr sind oder nicht, ich hätte trotzdem dremeln müssen, auf jeden Fall den Clip des Gitters.
@@maximusoptimusTECH alles klar danke mein gutester! So. Butylmatten sind montiert, den ersten holzring hab' ich schon mal zersägt lol. Einen clip habe ich schon mal verloren, ich vermute der ist ins innere des autos gefallen. Mal sehen ob es hörbar sein wird. Hoffe nicht. Echt top beschrieb, keine bösen überraschungen. Ewiger dank!!
@@maximusoptimusTECH oh eins noch. 2.5mm kabel verwendet?
CAN U TELL ME SPECIFICATIONS FOR THIS SUBWOOFER, OMH , WATTS , RMS AND SIZE PLEASE
You can look up the exact datasheet at Rockford Fosgates website ^^
@maxiopti du hast also den RockfordFosgate Subwoofer plugAndPlay gegen den Original getauscht und ihn an die B&O Endstufe rangehängt? Hast du kein Bammel wegen Clipping?
Ich bastle auch gerade an meinem A5 8F Cabrio. Der neue 6,5Zoll Kicker Comp Woofer hat mit 150WRMS 4Ohm um einiges mehr an Leistung als der 25WRMS🤦🏼♂️ Subausgang meines Alpine PDP-E310 DSP...mal schauen wie das klingt?!
@ Andreas Jetter Hast Du B&O System in Deinem Cabrio? Eine Videoanleitung zum Ausbau der Rückbank und Seitenteil links wäre super... falls es da was gibt bitte verlinken.
@ maxiopti Das Alubutyl da so lieblos auf die Ablage legen und bissl mit den Fingern andrücken verfehlt etwas den Sinn. Da musst normalerweise mit nem Tepetenroller drüber und das richtig penibel andrücken. Sonst ist das Geldverschwenung, weil das Butyl den Dämmeffekt gar nicht auf das Blech bringen kann.
@@torstenvoss6568 Servus!
Sorry habe erst gerade gesehen das du geschrieben hast. Nein ich habe das ASS und kein B&O. Ein Video habe ich leider nicht gedreht. Der Ausbau bis ich den Subwoofer hatte war echt ein Riesen Rotz, für mich ohne meinen Kfz Kumpel nicht machbar.
Bist du weitergekommen bzw hast du dein A5 Cabrio in Angriff genommen?
Ar u using a different amplifier for the sub or the one that comes with the car and how many apps does it have?
I am using the Audi amplifier, I don’t know the specific power it has.
@@maximusoptimusTECH ok thank u so much im going try to do the same prosses also well
Also di I have to go into the audi computer settings and change the audio settings as well to have a good sound like u describe it in your other video?
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.
Hi, weißt du zufällig ob der Verstärker vom B&O System über Chinch in das Radio geht? Mein Kollege hat das Originale Soundsystem und er meinte das Originale Radio hat kein anschluss mit chinch. Wie ist das bei dir gelöst?
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 Danke!
Can you tell the difference between factory speaker and the new subwoofer?
Yes I can, that was the whole point of doing it ^^
Will this same subwoofer work on my B8.5 S4 with B&O?
Yes the A5 Coupé and A4 Limousine have the same subwoofer setup in the rear shelf
@@maximusoptimusTECH I just meant because they are shaped a little differently
If you search for S4 B&O Subwoofer online I found this, to me the subwoofer location looks exactly like in the A5 Coupé: www.audiworld.com/forums/s4-b8-platform-discussion-134/b-o-subwoofer-upgrade-install-guide-2790664/
What’s the 2 wires used at 14:26
Those are the wires that went to the B&O subwoofer, I just cut off the plug ^^
Wo kommst du her, könntest mir ja vielleicht dabei helfen
Is the factory subwoofer 4 ohms?
No it’s 8 ohms.
Hey funktioniert der Einbau auch wenn man kein B&O hat? Würde gerne nur den Subwoofer tauschen mit den anderen Lautsprecher bin ich zufrieden.
Ich glaube, der Umbau ist zum normalen ASS identisch. Frage ist nur, ob die Endstufe genug Leistung hat,
@@JensBochmann okay viele Dank schonmal. Melde mich, falls ich es mache, ob's funktioniert :D
Hallo Patrick,
ich bin in der gleichen Situation. Hast du es schon probiert? Bei mir ist das Radio U Basic verbaut in Kombination mit dem MMI 3G high
Also ich habe den Umbau auch bei einem S5 mit Audi Sound System gemacht. Da war der Umbau identisch und der Unterschied nochmal um einiges größer. Aber den Subwoofer bzw einen Unterschied hört man erst nachdem das Soundprofil mit VCDS umgestellt wurde. Hab dazu auch nen Video: th-cam.com/video/jMneGaJWAis/w-d-xo.html
@@lukashofmacher7753 Hallo Lukas, ich habe meinen bei den Türen und der Hutablage gedämmt und habe auch bereits einen Unterschied vielleicht ist das auch was für dich? Fürs erste bin ich damit zufrieden aber wie ich mich kenne ist es nur eine Frage der Zeit bis ich den Umbau starte 🥲😅
Question, probably a stupid one lol. If my a5 coupe don’t come with b&o can I still install a sub there?
If you have the AudiSoundSystem there should also be a subwoofer there (have you checked if you have a woofer?). If there isn’t you will need an amplifier and you have to make new wiring.
@@maximusoptimusTECH ok I just checked and I definitely do have one. Thanks bro🤙🏽 I did not know I had one until you told me to look😂🤦🏽♂️ now to get some better ones🤙🏽
Okey nice man, if you don’t have the B&O system have you tried the VCDS coding yet? I’ve mentioned it in a German Video, it is basically a setting you need to change that gives you a ton more bass. And you don’t need to change the subwoofer before you do this because you don’t have that much bass anyway. Feel free to contact me on Instagram or twitter if you need help with that :D
Edit: I now have an S5 with the same system as you and changed the woofer, it didn’t made any difference until I changed the mentioned setting in VCDS. I explained it in my englisch video about this Soundsystem (my second newest video)
How it sounds with stock amplifier?
The video is with the stock amplifier, it’s reasonably good. Certainly better than the old woofer
@@maximusoptimusTECH bro, yesterday I mounted it in my a5 with stock amplifier (B&O). You can't see much of a difference. I connected the woofer in 8 ohms like in manual. What can I do now?
subwoofer 12 or 10?
10 inches, 25cm
If your gonna remove the grill covers to work on why remove the quarter panel covers? They don’t stop you working on the bass speaker? More work for the hell of it
Does the rear deck metal rattle at all?
Nope, absolutely solid now
@@maximusoptimusTECH Do you want an S5 grille?
I actually have an S5 now haha, but thanks for the offer ^^
Anyone doing this make sure you choose a subwoofer that is for certain designed to run free air without an enclosure. If you do this with the wrong type of subwoofer you will end up with less than ideal results and possibly damage the subwoofer.
