    JL Audio VR650CSi

    I have those in my A3 and are pleased with them. You get a lot more bass out of them than the bose speakers I had. I've faded totally to the front which also helps and had a JL W3 10" sub put in the boot. This is powered with an A1200 JL amp which they managed to fit under the boot floor next to...

    Brand new car and BOSE has weedy bass

    I had the bose in my A3 and thought it was crap, luckily I didn't pay for it, it was already in the car. Since then I have had my alpine head unit put back in, some new components in the front ( JL VR 6.5's) and faded the sound forward completley which made an awful lot of difference. I've...

    Which amp

    Thanks for that Craig helped a lot. Went back into the store today and arranged for them to fit a 250/1 v2 (as long as they can get one ordered). The only slight issue will be if it causes any FM interference being a D class amp as it has to go in one specific place and can't be moved around to...

    Which amp

    I'm going to get a 10" Jl W3v3 sub in my A3 and wondered whether it would be worth the extra expense of putting a JL 250/1 v1 in against the A1200. Will I notice that much difference in the quality of the bass and do the few extra functions like subsonic filters etc make that much difference in...

    How to improve brakes?

    I presume it's the original fluid from Audi as the car is only 2 years old and I've only just bought it.

    How to improve brakes?

    Hi there. I've got a 2005 s-line A3 Quattro and wondered what I could do to improve the brakes which seem to have quite a bit of play in them before they do anything and stopping power doesn't seem as good as I would expect. I used to have a Leon Cupra with standard brakes which seemed better...

    JL Audio

    Well the JL VR components are now fitted and even better they put 6.5's in as there were 6.5 Bose speakers in originally (thought they were going to be 5.25's.). Unique in Lightwater fitted them and were impressed with the front doors saying they were a lot better than those on the 8L A3. Needed...

    JL Audio

    Hi there. Does anyone have any experience with JL audio components (particularly the VR525-CSi). I still can't make my mind up which way to go on upgrading my system. I've had the sympohony (old style not MP3 compatible) removed and my Alpine 7893 put in and am now wanting to uprade speakers...

    I.C.E. upgrade A3

    Hi there. Just become the proud owner of an A3 Quattro with Bose and the 6 CD changer. Not impressed with the sound and won't play MP3 discs. I am considering putting my Alpine 7893 unit from my previous car in and was wondering about the following: Does anyone have any images of a single DIN...
