OK - so we have all established that the standard A3/S3 sound system is K r a p. THe Bose (apparentley) is little better.
I had Chorus HU and standard speaker system in 2002 S3 - sounded really poor
My mission - to make it better. so........after reading many posts, I started with the speakers.
I have replaced with DSL classic series (Cheapest in range I think) for approx £85 front and £85 rear (13cm comp B5 front 16cm 226 rear) - dead easy - took about 3-4 hours total
Difference is immediate - More bass, better treble and basically the system is loads more musical and natural - not strained. Well worth the effort and cost so far.
Next step ? - need to sort out the Sub - although system now much better, bass still poor - the tupperware sub is pants and basically just thumps without any real 'ring' to it, making the overall sound still sound like it's coming from inside a wardrobe thats in another room, and full of clothes !
AndyMac sub being considered at moment - maybe could be a bit larger ? fireing upwards where there is a grill into the main car ? dunno yet - hope to discuss with Andy the various things he has tried.
will update when sub sorted. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/beerchug.gif
