Very nice

[@yecuzz]

I had no clue this was in Australia until you played the radio 😂😂😂😂

[@soundtech7989]

Haha.... yeah we're located in Sydney :D

[@viccao8431]

does this fit in the newer facelift model with the mild hybrid battery?

[@gerardwalsh7902]

What amp was the sub attached to? Was the amp for the sub also in the trunk storage space? Was there already an amp in the trunk connected to the sub?

[@bballfreak150]

Theoretically, could you take the speaker in cables from the pp-vag harness, cut them, and use them as line level or high level (not sure what they would be?) to a stand alone DSP? When i looked at the manual on the match 7, it looks like there are only “ins” for front/rear left and rights. I know the factory radio amp has 6 channels- so am confused how the vag harness and the match 7 amp get the center channel and sub outputs. I would worry that if using the “ins” from the harness into a stand alone dsp, it would be missing center and subs. Thoughts?

[@soundtech7989]

You can use the PP-VAG for PnP DSP input yes. In this job, we used MATCH UP 7DSP with MEC Analog IN card to get the 2 extra inputs for the centre and sub which the PP VAG also supports in/out so that's the whole solution with no channels lost

This is very cool! Does the lid over the woofer in the rear bounce a lot? It seems like that would be a problem.

[@soundtech7989]

It doesn't even touch it, it's a good fit. And the box is firing downwards with a sideway port so no issues with bouncing at all.

Do you know which Plug &Play Harness For Bose Amplifier? 2016

JL Audio C7, Audison Thesis which one is closest sounding to the high end systems of Burmesters 3D and Bower & Wilkins. Or even better sounding than those with any other brand? Also what kind of sub would u pair with it for car like Audi Q3 - sealed/ported, wattage?

[@soundtech7989]

Hi mate. There is no correlation between the high end systems and things such as Burmester or B/W. They may be less worse than factory stock standard but it's still rather basic when it comes to SQ. Similar to say a school uniform, they provide all the basic needs but even on a premium college it's still a basic clothing for the crowds (H/K, B/W, Bose, Burmester etc are for crowds). When you speak about C7 or Thesis, that's the high end stuff such as Rollex, Prada, Versace etc. They have much better style, materials, design but mostly the performance, acoustical precision, stability across the volume and frequency range and much more. And there are much higher choices still such as the BRAX Matrix or Focal Utopia. All the above has been just a speaker selection so far which has nothing to do with what you call a 3D sound (surround sound). That is nothing else but mathematically generated signal differences in a DSP (in the factory amp or head unit) that makes the satellite speakers / midranges playing different frequencies and, most importantly, at different delays creating an echo making the car environment feel as if a larger space. That is just a simple signal distortion to the clean 2ch audio recoding that you stream. (Distortion = any kind of playback difference to the original track). A sub selection discussion goes far beyond what this comment can provide so best to watch some other KZbin videos for explanation. I hope it helps you to understand things better.

[@anan7s294]

@@soundtech7989 thanks for explaining. I totally forgot to mention focal utopia.

How much would all of this run me?
