Hi guys,
I am exploring subwoofers. I got heaps of great advice on here for the 350z, but I'm hoping that someone could give me a little info for my other car, an Audi Q5. Before anyone says, the Audi forums, they just don't seem as helpful, well at least the Q5 ones anyhow. Also hopefully it's fairly generic info I'm after so it may well help others.
Ok my dilemma is this. I would like to upgrade the sound system a little. The car has 10 speakers as below:
8 inch woofers in front doors (4 ohms)
Two tweeters / small speakers on dash
One centre / small speaker on dash
6 inch woofers in rear door
Tweeters in rear doors
Subwoofer in boot under floor (6 inch , 2 ohms)
The car has 'Audi sound system' so I was hoping to just upgrade some speakers
I was thinking to replace the woofers in the front door and the sub
The sub is passive and sits in a round plastic case where the spare wheel would go.
With regard to the sub one option is just to replace the speaker with a higher quality one
Next was to put a bigger diameter sub into a new enclosure (but still wired directly)
Or finally to get a new enclosure and introduce a seperate amp
If I used a separate amp, would this take the high level input ok, or does using high level input create poorer sound?
I'm also looking for a recommendation regarding 8 inch speakers for the front doors.
Any help, any comments, much appreciated.
Regards mark
