Hi,
I have a B6 A4 Avant with the OE Symphony HU 6 disk changer, radio + tape double DIN I believe.
The sound quality is rubbish. I have just upgraded the front speakers this WE, but it doesn't seem to be enough. I put in a pair of KEF KAR 6.5 woofers with Infinity Ref tweeters, the original KEF tweeters got destroyed in storage :-(
I had to make some spacer rings from ply, as the original noise maker had a integrated mount.
I am after a sensible upgrade plan, but I'm not sure where the major problems are.I did the front speakers first as they were cutting out occasionally, due to poor connection probably and I had the speakers from my old golf.
I'd like to keep the original HU, it looks good in the interior and works with the DIS.
Is it a major limiting factor ?
Is it the internal amp that is poor?
I've read it does have preouts ? Is that 5 preouts? (F,R & sub)
Is it worth replacing the rear door speakers?
There is a tiny sub and amp behind the driver side rear quarter panel.
I assume it is worth replacing that ?
am I right in assuming I can take the signal feed from the input of that ?
I have a minimal budget, as I have kids and wifey. I like the idea of AndyMac's stealth sub as a big sub box or even a small bass box in the boot, as it will get in the way of the babies stuff.
Cheers!
