I've decided to bite the bullet and build a sub enclosure. Should be able to fit in a 10" sub - the box will be sealed, about 20cm deep and total available volume will be about 17 litres (0.6 cubic ft). Can anyone suggest a good 10" sub and amp for less than £200 together. Thanks

Couldn't manage to upload any photos but the sub is 8" and is attached to a piece of sheet steel under the parcel shelf, facing into the boot (so the magnet bit is between the metal shelf and the parcel shelf above). Thought they were normally the other way around but I guess the infinite baffle...

Yes the right hand side is the biggest - I'll take some pics this w/end and of the parcel shelf sub too. I've seen pics of other people home made enclosures in the available space but looks like soo much bother as I've never had a sub before let alone built the box (business opp for someone...

Yes the rears are already wired up direct to the HU but I was wondering whether since I was getting a new amp anyway, I should get one with enough channels to wire the rears as well as the sub as they sound poo at the moment (or should I just get some new speakers)? It is the saloon B6 version...

Hi Having tried unsuccessfully to get my factory rear speakers and sub to work with autoleads adapters, I've finally decided to replace the existing amp and sub. I would like an amp that powers a single sub and also the rear speakers but will let the new pioneer head unit power the fronts. I...

Finally got round to wiring my rears up direct - surprisingly easy as well once I'd sussed out which wires to snip on the amp. Still nothing from the sub though - was hoping it might have miraculously started booming...Checked the blue wires from the rca adapter, antenna amp and remote from the...

Thanks for the explanation, unfortunately I think I've got a different set up - my amp has a 23 pin connector which I've just managed to find a diagram for so tomorrow am going to wire up the rear speaker outs from the HU to the rear speaker outs from the amp, so bypassing it. Came across a...

Glad you got yours sorted. I'm having similar problems with the RCA connecter and pioneer HU so am trying to work out exactly what it is you've done so I can try it. Do you mean by wiring your OE sub to one of your rear speaker wires you've not used the amp at all? I assume you have the same amp...

I thought I would run the rear speakers direct to my new HU this weekend, bypassing the amp which by all accounts isn't much cop (A4 saloon B6-non bose rear amped). From past posts it seems running wires to the amp and connecting with speaker cable there is the best option. So if anyone has done...

OK, I guess that rules out the voltage being an issue then. I'm planning on wiring the rears directly but if the new adapter doesn't work I would still like sub output - any suggestions for an amp? I've never gone down the amp/sub route before so excuse my ignorance - can I get something cheap...

Thanks for your input fellas. From trawling through other forums this seems quite a common problem ie no sound from the rear even when using correct adapters/wiring correctly. The auto-elec said they would try the PC9-401 adapter early next week (same as DefBlade is going to try I think) but if...

OK I'm guessing I'm not the only one stumped by this. Something else which may be relevant is the radio doesn't pick up many stations, so one theory I have is that since the rear amp and antenna amp are connected to the power antenna lead coming from the HU then could it be that this is where...

Hi Hoping there's someone out there who can help on this. I've just fitted a Pioneer DEH-P65BT in my B6 A4 I think not bose (see previous post http://www.audi-sport.net/vb/showthread.php?t=52539 ). However, whilst the front speakers work ok, there is nothing coming from the rears and only the...

Hi Am trying to work out what sort of set up I have on my 03 A4 saloon and having scoured the forum am now a bit confused.I first figured it was a standard (non-bose) set-up - single sub in parcel shelf, doesn't say Bose on speaker grills, bose doesn't appear on HU display. However, the amp is...

I think the penny has finally dropped -the HU will be powering the door speakers and the amp is still powering the sub. Cheers for your help.
