a 6.5" screen will fit nicely, you can fit in a 7" screen but you will most likely have to create your own surround or take a look at www.bybyte.com I did have a 7" screen installed in a custom surround in my A3 hooked up to a carputer running Free Ice. Kept it for a while but had on going...

What do you recommend would be the best thickness of fibreglass to use?

Where abouts are you located? The plus side of using fiberglass is that it can be moulded to the shape of the car so basically making better use of the space! I don't mind the enclosure protruding in to the boot space a bit, I just don't want it to impede on it to much. Somethink like this...

So the door card will vibrate a fair bit as I suspected! Well the other option was to try my hand at making a fiberglass enclosure to fit my sub, the only reason I was looking at the subs in doors idea is because it will save me a lot of time and work. If I had an 8L i would certainly be...

Yeah I need to measure it but that is just a rough idea, that is pretty much the depth of the baffle I would use, I know I have an extra 3" between the two door skins but I need to see if the window glass gets in the way, if not then I have plenty of depth. Will the door have enough volume to...

I think max depth without measuring is 3.5" or there abouts, so 3" just to be on the safe side would be good, however I think that is asking a bit much. I don't want loads of bass but i do want to be able to hear/feel it

Sound deadining is easy enough, tweeters have already been removed. the standard speakers are 6.5" in the rear so plenty big enough, only problem maybe the depth! I have already ran wiring from the boot (amp) to the rear doors. Nice to know it will work, saves taking up my boot witha bulky...

I'm looking at something similar, but instead of putting the subs in the parcel shelf I was considering putting a sub in each rear door, i have a A3 sportback, would the rear doors work as an enclosure of sorts?

Have a look at http://www.digital-car.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?t=6729&page=4

Any pics? where did you put the amp? is the sub just in a box or a custom enclosure?

Ah ******, no use to me then lol, cheers anyway

Where did you put the power cable through the bulkhead? What gauge cable is it? I have a 4gauge cable I need to get to the battery from the boot but have failed to find a suitable location yet

For the tweeters you don need to take the A-pillar off, the grill simply pops off. As for a guide see: http://forums.fourtitude.com/zerothread?id=2689982

The tweeter grills just pop off as for the actual speaker im not to sure, ive only seen the speakers when I took the door card off, im pretty sure they just pop off!

The speakers are 6.5" and 1.5" tweeters. same front and rear. not to sure on the depth I never measured them but you have plenty of depth to play with in the door. The stock speakers are in a plastic bracket type thing which is then bolted to the door. You may if your very carefull be able to...

Andymac did a sub replacemnet for the 8L and I'm sure if someone lent him there 8p he would be hapy to do one for it :-p lol If your going to change the sub then you are best off getting a 3/4 channel amp, using one/two (bridged) channels for the sub and the remaining two channels to power the...

I am in the process of doing so, but rather than putting a new HU in I am installing a computer so I am installing a new 4ch amp that will power all the speakers. as for speaker pods I am making my own baffles out of MDF, didnt know they needed to be waterproofed but thta's easy enough. I...

Thanks guys, Think i might run the power cable under the car, keeps it away from everything else, I neglected to mention I will be running new speaker cable aswel. Boydie did you drill your own hole to pass the cable through or was there one ther you could utilise?

i will soon be installing my car pc into my car aswel as an upgraded sound system which will include a sub in the boot, I need to run a 4gauge power wire from the battery to the boot, anyone know if there are a ny holes in the bulkhead I can pass tis through? or will I have to drill my own. I...

Hi all Does anyone know the size of the stock speakers in the A3 8P? I know I will get someone saying 'take the panels off and measure' however at the moment the weather isn't great and my car lives outside. I also heard/read that I will need adaptors to fit speakers, is this true...
