    What else needed for A3 8l upgrade...

    I'm considering taking back my speakers, keeping the ones in the car currently but obviously putting in the Stealth sub and amp, plus the new head unit.

    What else needed for A3 8l upgrade...

    Ok I see, I assumed the fronts would be the same on both 3&5 door models, tbh I didn't realise 5 door models were that uncommon I've seen loads of them. Will this now cause a problem for fitting the speakers I currently have or any other problems (especially the rears)?

Even so Andy, the speakers (5.25") won't fit snugly which ever way I offer them up to each other, regardless of when they're in situe. Whats the alternative for the 5 door then in regards to the...

    Just got the MDF collars out the box, and offered the my front speaker (Rainbow 230 slx) onto to have quick look and the magnet is blocking the correct fitment? This is expected right?

    Nice one. Seen an Alpine V12 MRV-T757 for sale for around £150 or a MRV-500 used one for £90, that a fair price?

    What else needed for A3 8l upgrade...

    Ok, so the amp will power the sub, but will also connect to the HU. Whereas the HU just powers the front and rear speakers? Hopefully I'm understanding it a little better now. Is there a suitable amp and HU you could suggest that aren't too pricey? Cheers.

    Ok so something like this would be fine then Kenwood KAC-5205 2 Channel power amplifier 350 watts max power output - KAC-5205 from Kenwood ? Sounds complicated rewiring the rears to the HU. As I'm already confused as to what adapter connects to what, plus what piece of kit and is wired to...

    It's probably been done to death this question but I could find a suitable answer when searching. So far I've sorted out: Front & Rear Speakers with the MDF collars.

    Would the sound quality gap be noticeable between the 2? As I was hoping for the best set of speakers for price without resorting to budget ones.

    Various speaker Questions from a clueless idiot..

    Wish the fella's in the shop told me this, thats why I'm a bit confused. Will fitting an upgraded sub mean I won't need to fit an amp then? My mate's got a similar power of speakers in his Audi and the standard head unit, with a JBL amp in the boot but he also has an amp thats why I wasn't...
