    Recommend Subwoofer and AMP for Audi S5

    All done.. a 10" can completely over power the system, I've got the gain right down. That said, another sub-woofer is definitely needed to balance the stock system even if my 10" is only 10% used. I would recommend people go for the easy 8"... but its not as much fun :) Lost almost no...

    IT WORKS!!! Needs all tided up and everything bolted into place but it works... needs tuned.. it highlighted so many rattles in the car on the 10min test I had it going for but at 23:00 there wasn't much time. Full pics tomorrow of the completed system I hope.

    All input is welcome. I had looked at the requirement for these line converters and to be honest it was more luck than anything that the AMP I choose accepts either and a bonus that a high input acts as the turn on signal aswell. Oh and a 1.5V AA worked a treat.

    My amp can accept high input.. this also has the benefit of providing the remote on signal meaning I don't need another cable. Lovin' the battery speaker trick.. going to fry the stock sub now :) might try a AA first. if no movement ill move up.

    I only got as far as locating the amp yesterday as rain stopped my fun. First surprise was the size of the "small" mono amp. No chance of this going in with the spare wheel. But found a great place for it. I have space under the stock amp... I'm not sure if I'm missing an option... CD...

    I do have B&O in my S5 I've had alot of help from @rich dj in regards to set up and install as it's all new to me. I'm doing the wiring up now but rain stopped play most of yesterday. I think you have an A4 so should have a subwoofer on your back shelf, when I had my A4 it sounded good to me...

    I didn't go 8" and was right, it wasn't easy. I made a fiberglass box and then first tried to have it flush mount but the bolts for a 10 inch sub are just are just too wide and foul right where the edge where fibreglass meets the front. There is not enough material to make a secure mount...

    Recommend Subwoofer and AMP for Audi S5

    I'm going 8" I can't with ease fit the 10" and keep the cost to less than £550/600 or have it not protrude into the boot due to the 11.4 litres it requires for an enclosed box or then fit the larger amp required out of site into the spare wheel well. I would need to make a custom box and that...

    Thinking £250 is coming up short. Now looking at a kicker 10" shallow subwoofer £150. (Link) Still trying to figure out the amp to go with it, trying to keep it to £200. Ideally small enough to fit next to the spare wheel but thinking this might be a dead end. Will make fibreglass mould...

    I have the usual complaint for S/A5 sportback owners. Audi pointed the subwoofer at the floor in the boot... Under the spare wheel... Under the carpet.... Under a boot protector... Under a carpet that sits in the boot protector... Under the shopping that goes on top of it all. I'm would...

    A4 B8 Subwoofer not working.

    Found an amp but lucked out on the Kicker sub as there is NO STOCK in the uk of these it seems. I have bought another sub that I think will do... but information on free air subs or infinite baffle as they are also called seems hard to find. There is plenty of info in the US but they fit dual...

    A4 B8 Subwoofer not working.

    Hello, This is the same conclusion I come too regarding the stock AMP. Is it the Kicker 10C104 woofer you had in mind? I hope so then I was on the right lines. The cheapest I found it was Bass Junkies(Clicky) £59.99 delivered. I did ask them what AMP would go with it but they never replied...

    A4 B8 Subwoofer not working.

    OK so I took a double A 1.5v battery to the sub and got no movement... I then took a square 9v battery to it and got movement. It seems 1 of the cables on the sub is flaky and if I bend it at an angle it will work but I have no idea for how long. As it's not the amp does anybody know what the...

    A4 B8 Subwoofer not working.

    The subwoofer is not working but all other speakers in the doors are. The subwoofer does have a fit now and again depending on the music played but it only fits for 1 second sounding all distorted then goes dead again. Does this sound like the AMP or the sub itself, I've had the parcel shelf...

    AMI Install A4 B8 (Not paying £240 for a glove box!)

    Small update, the AMI will fit a standard radio cage but it needs a bit sanding down around the edge to fit. With minor mods to the cage with a dermal you can even get the OEM AMI clips to hold it in. It will then fit into the under dash radio mount and in turn into the standard glove box...

    AMI Install A4 B8 (Not paying £240 for a glove box!)

    First off thanks for the help. The AMI I have bought is the same size as a standard single DIN radio I HOPE. But I don't think it will fit into a standard radio cage. My plan was to mount the AMI into its OEM housing then house that in an under dash mount in the glove box but it seems...

    Showing your age if you know Blue Petered. Thanks for the size info. This means if it is CD changer size then it should hopefully fit into the cd changer support. I will order it, and butcher as necessary. I'll get pics up if it doesn't look like a dogs dinner when finished.
