Hello All
I have the Audi Sound System (ie non-B&O) within my car. I have been following a thread on the US Audiworld site, whereby members have been describing how they started replacing / upgrading their speakers:
https://www.audiworld.com/forums/au...-***-audi-sound-system-eu-base-stere-3004792/
A major contributor to the thread is a member called Bruce_Miranda, who is UK-based. He has replaced all the speakers in his A5, which he is sharing with other forum members.
I have initially upgraded the three dash speakers ie the two corner tweeters, and the centre speaker. These were ordered through Bruce, as he provides them with the correct crossovers and connectors fitted. The removal of the dash trim is relatively straightforward - highly recommended to use plastic trim removal tools. Again, on the Audiworld site, this can be searched for, with a particular thread containing lots of photos.
In terms of the speakers themselves, the difference is superb. Vocals that were previously restricted to the speakers at your feet, can now be heard from across the dash; the cabin is filled with music from the dash speakers. It is not overpowering, it simply lifts detail so that it can be heard as it should be.
This is a relatively simple upgrade, that brings about a massive improvement - I wish I had done it sooner!
My thanks to Bruce for his help, without which I simply would not have done it. However, and again with help from Bruce, I am now looking at replacing the rear tweeters, and replacing the sub.
For anyone considering this, I would definitely recommend contacting Bruce, if just to benefit from his experience.
