The one difference being a ported enclosure is tuned and the back wave has to travel a defined distance before it reaches the hole, somehow I don't think the boot of an A4 is tuned!
So "simplicity and best sound quality you cannot beat a sealed enclosure " - think that's essentially what I said...
Haha, always makes me laugh when people talk about infinite baffle - as the name suggests it doesn't actually exist unless you have an infinately large piece of MDF, or to get round this impracticality you fold the baffle round the back of the speaker, which I think is then called a sealed...
Subwoofers only work in a sealed or ported enclosure with the correct internal volume. They definately don't work hanging from the rear shelf in free air - the boot area is not a sealed enclosure
I had a 10" Alpine in a ported enclosure running with a 400wrms amp and never had any issues with...
There's more than enough leaks from the boot area to easily let through the bass, you might just need a little more power than a hatchback is all. Normal wedge enclosure up against the seat backs firing to the rear is fine. I found the sound was actually much tighter with a semi sealed boot than...
What line out connector did your dad try to install?
Sounds like he fried the HU with whatever it was as there is no adapter available that I am aware of that will provide this while keeping the Bose amp connected. You need to tap into the Bose loom at the Bose amp if want to continue using the...
This usually only happens when you run the car through the winter in ECON mode. The climate control should be left on all year round, not just when its hot. It is climate control not aircon. If it's turned off for long periods the rubber seals dry out and crack and start to leak, plus you get...
The Bose front speakers are actually 1 to 1.5 ohms. If there's nothing wrong with the Bose units then I would stick with them. Anything you fit will require adapters and they will be 30% higher impedance so the Bose amp will have to work a lot harder to power them with no discernible improvement...
Doubt they are OEM Ronals as they were only available in 18" with 112x5 PCD as per original B5 RS4.
They were really soft as well and prone to buckiling.
OEM Ronal 17's were mainly from TT's which use 5 x 110 so wouldn't fit a B6
No you don't even need a CD changer, the connects2 fools the HU into thinking a changer is connected so allows access to the audio in via the changer port. If you have a changer then you can switch between the 2
That adapter won't actually work with anything. It is the blue CDC section of the mini ISO (rather than quadlock) but without any electronics in between the HU won't recognise that a CD changer is connected so won't allow you to select it as a Source. How do people get away with selling this shyte?
On most 4 ch amps you can set the input mode so that the ch 1 & 2 input also feed ch 3 & 4, if not then just use Y splitters
If you have an aftermarket HU then you can simply rewire the rears to the HU and use a 2ch or mono amp just for the sub
No there is no OTS adapter, just strip the end off an RCA lead and solder small blade terminals to the left, right, screen and remote and then plug these into the Audi plug. Avoids hacking the stock wiring.
You will need a 4channel amp if you want to keep the rears
