How to Professionally Install Speakers into an Audi A4

[@38alloy]

Really nice speaker install . Amazing what you can accomplish with out all the fancy tools, the heart of a true installer.

[@allandela9803]

How are you James? When i looked up auto sound and security it says permanently closed. Just wondering if you still do car audio installs

[@endall39]

The adhesive mounting of the tweeters is certainly workable. However, when you have tweeters with a threaded hole in the back plate or magnet, why not use a shallow screw and a piece of back strap to rig an easily removable bracket mount? You can also wrap electrical tape around the blackstrap if you are concerned about grounding the magnet. Just a thought. Another great vid!

[@Star88701]

Hey there, first time viewer here. Thanks for the theory behind your choices, and instruction for deciding whether or not to build something custom or just modified fit. Helps newbies like me alot ! Do you happen to have any of the dimensions for the final housings or draft sketches by any chance ?

[@drlecter_ii]

My mounts were made by a shop that way and they had to be replaced due to moisture (2005 A4). Going to use a cutting board (High Density Polypropylene) for my new ones. Good video tho.

[@NeapoIitan]

I actully have a question, shall i put a spoiler on my Audi A8? Do u know if it’ll look good or bad?

[@danatito135]

Love your commitment to craftsmenship

[@ethan4108]

Huge step up in video quality, great video!

[@davidperez4381]

Hi, I have a 2014 A5 and my passenger, driver side, and front left & right speakers aren’t working. Only the subwoofer in the front works. Do you know what could be the problem. Car is not tinted and I’m at 50k miles if that matters.

[@chloeleedow7250]

bro i know this is old as but the fact you have mdf rings at all or use mdf at all for speaker mounting means your not on a level thats acceptable either mdf will fall apart soon as it gets damp solid abs or marine ply are the only acceptable options in doors. i wont even use mdf for sub box its heavy as shit when birch ply is beautiful , light as a feather and solid as a rock with even better acoustic properties than mdf .its expensive but worth every cent

[@And3wz]

Huge difference in quality, good buy on new camera!

[@chupamishuevos303]

but the rockford speakers look so ugly tho i still prefer paper cone than plastic

[@MelvinDlaCruz]

when you install this speaker do you need to install something else? I have a Audi a4 b8 Avant, can I install this one?

[@derekstechmann6610]

Great show. Have you ever used CDT speakers? If so your thoughts. Thanks in advance.

[@chopjockey]

Why didn't you replace the tweeters?

[@ze_german2921]

I have a 2014 A6 with a Bose system, it has a subwoofer mounted in the Hat Rack, are there any subwoofer you could recommend to replace in the stock location? And could I still use the factory amp or should I upgrade to a new amp.

[@kennyelliott3538]

Upgrade the amp

[@albertkorf3288]

Bro how can I contact you I need some advice to what sound system will deliver some pure quality sound with quality bass in audi A1. Was looking at getting 4 rockford punch mids, dont know what amp and a 15inch punch subwoofer? I dont know what much about sound but the previous guy at sound place recommended something... went all Rockford and it was sick. Oh and two tweeters

[@mytruckinlifeace4047]

I don’t think any flush trim bit is good for using plastic as a template because the bearing transfers heat from the blade. Good video I like the new camera. When I had my shop I made mdf templates of the holes and rings that I would use most.

[@famousmidnight]

If youre making templates back to back, of course, your bit will get hot. If you take your time and keep your bit cool with a router table it's one of the best tools in car audio fab.

[@Aaroooooooooon93]

What tape did you use behind the speaker baffle?

[@Scottleach93]

Great work buddy, great video. Will be following your channel 🤘

[@themechanicslab]

it seems like you guys are reusing old furnature for mdf for stereo installs in customer cars? Theres an old seat cusion haldf unstaples and also a kitchen cupboard you traced your pods onto has a hinge recess routered into it

[@mndlessdrwer]

You need a teflon flush trim router bearing for dealing with plastics.

[@VeerMaharaj]

Thank you

[@thejezta]

I got an audi a4 b7 how did you wore up the stereo to turn off with ignition off as it keeps flattening my car battery cheers dude

[@marsruben]

Get a CANBUS dapater, its the only way, otherwise connect the powering for the stereo to the Mirror fuse, that fuse turns on when the car is on. but CANBUS is easier and more practical.

[@rockybundrick2297]

How I normally do those speakers is I ripped the cone out and then cut the basket and then put the after market speaker in the factory housing

[@caraudioetc]

Rocky Bundrick that’s exactly what I did when I fitted focal ps165fx in a silver one of these not long ago. If you go into my playlists and find the Audi A4 playlist you will see what I did. This method is more time consuming but in the end I was more confident with this install.

[@rockybundrick2297]

I hear you went totally understand I watch the vid when you posted it but for some crazy reason I let it slip my mind sorry about that your new cam looks good like the quality enjoy how you do your post because it's pretty much in real time and your winging it just like I do when I do a little install

[@alexdeabreu5014]

Similar for the A6?

[@GotiPodz]

Any recommendations on which amp is best to use with a Focal 33KX sub?

[@ethan4108]

GotiPodz 7000 watt CT Sounds amp #SoundmanCA

[@rockybundrick2297]

Ethan Hays yeah sure if he wants to annihilate it

[@rockybundrick2297]

GotiPodz skar audio LP 1001 D should work good on that sub It's relatively decent amplifier for the price hey I like it and also don't forget the thousand and 1500 watt punch amp either

[@yiannissavvides4612]

what camera are you using?

[@AshHalls]

I used silicone to install custom mounting plates where speakers would not mount to anything, looks dodgy but dose a great job

[@wishbone6641]

and where is vibrodamping material?

[@DonDoneL]

any idea for AVANT sub?

[@critical_unknown]

Man that camera is nice, the three baffles are probably to stop the magnet from hitting the window.

[@smorris227]

Any recommendations for affordable set speaker, sub set soon get my first car suzuki alto budget 300,- / 400,- dollar/euros

[@br0therTheresa69]

what generation A4 is this?

[@dainiustankevicius8680]

A4b7

[@ze_german2921]

He sounds like Chriss Griffin on the Intro

[@long-dongvonbraun501]

Awesome video man. Now I know how to remove and replace the junk German pods. Owning and working on an Audi is a love hate relationship, like that skank you hate but can't stop banging.

[@49ics05]

You can get a battery grip and have 2 batteries in there Also who do you watch on KZbin 4 audio

[@rexlee3368]

guys which is better TS-A1605C or TS-A1606C

[@A.nasierkhan]

1606

[@rubinrubin5259]

How much

[@andyschloesser2098]

Those tweets are gonna be a bitch to take out if they ever want to upgrade.

[@critical_unknown]

Haha that Rangi remark had ne laughing. The Tu Rangi Vice.

[@AKiwiTake]

God loves Kiwis

[@rockybundrick2297]

He'll yea I like it been waiting

[@VeerMaharaj]

Such a wee good video. Please stop using the word wee. You use it an awful lot.

[@saabdashcamsweden4424]

That camera seems to be making alot of weird static noise sometimes. annoying :-(

[@famousmidnight]

Two words pal. Router table.

[@JMasseydrm]

please sell me a set of these

[@jasonrogers143]

Use that goop of o found out you put goop all in around speakers you’d never install again all fingers and hands would be broke. After watching that cheap lazy no thought way to goop crap in bye shit installer

[@caraudioetc]

Bye bye

[@buckeythedog6132]

Lol

[@BlackLung911]

Nice Camera much better quality vids

[@NeapoIitan]

I have an A8, its a LOT better i think..

[@romanamerlene8554]

I made it yourself thanks to woodprix plans. I think it's the best way to learn how to build it in the cheapest way.

[@roycephantom8563]

If you want to save money on the MDF @Car Audio.etc you can check out the video I recently uploaded to my channel and it will show you how you can simply reuse the factory speaker mount when you do Audi/VW speaker installs.. Nonetheless nice video and very helpful for individuals who aren't as experienced as you and I are regarding audi/car audio.. etc (pun intended) lol

[@Shotgun_789]

You lost me when you said that you were going to use wood, MDF, no less to make a baffle. Doors get wet. Wood swells.

[@caraudioetc]

+Larry Martin havnt come across a single swollen mdf baffle in all my years doing it. You need a lot of water for that to happen. It doesn’t rain in between door panels.

[@roycephantom8563]

yes it does. small amounts of water/moisture make its way past the window trim seal on the A4.. When I did the speakers on my A4 B7 (2007) The white colored rubber seal thats attached to the plastic vented cover on the rear side of the stock speaker housings was covered in mold, algae and moisture from water that got in past the window trim seal. Your right, it doesnt often enter the door card, but it DOES get in the door panel. Thats why the bottom of the doors on all A4s (and probably all audis) have drains on them.

[@krish6506]

You don’t need more batteries!!!! You need to make the video shorter!!! 40 minutes for this install is wayyyyyyyyyy to long, it’s longer than a damn tv show. Show be 5-10 minutes
