Hi All,
My S3 has the standard sound system which is fairly terrible after having the bose system in my old 3.2 quattro. I didnt care too much to start with but it is starting to bug me.
So I'm going to look at upgrading it however I dont want to potentially throw money away if it wont make a huge amount of difference. I think that replacing the head unit with the B&O one is unlikely due to cost (over 600 quid if I recall correctly?).
Firstly, the plan will be to replace all the speakers with aftermarket ones (exact make / spec currently unknown). Is the output from the head unit of decent enough quality to make this upgrade worth while?
Secondly, fit a sub in the boot with probably an amp fitted somewhere else (under a seat). Does the standard head unit have any kind of output other than speaker out? That would work but it means its still having to go through the head units amp first which may degrade it.
Ive spoken with a local chap who installs car stereo kit and he seemed to think it would be OK, but then he will also making money so it would be nice to get some honest opinions / suggestions before I commit.
thanks in advance
