My Bose Stereo Sucks!! $300 fix to make it sound way better! Audi S7

[@robbywallace9402]

hey man, great idea. but idea like to give one more small tip. plastic is horible for subwoofers. it is literally canceling out alot of frequencies that would make it 100 times clearer. a tip to help is get a can of spray on bed liner, or liquid dynomatt and spray the entire inside of the box with 2 or 3 layers letting it sit about 20 25 minutes between coats. let it sit for over night after final coat. add the polifill back in, put sub back in, and you will notice an insane difference in bass response and sound quality. great idea tho and amazing car! thanks for sharing

[@TremainSr]

The use of the existing bass enclosure was how to fit the new speaker into that was great - but what would have been nice is to see how you took a 'line level' I presume, from the existing amp, fed it to the new amp and then of course, switched the wires over. I know basic, but before I try and pull things out or invest in the part first - would have been nice to see ! edit: found some instructions: STEP 1: Wire an audiocontrol LC2i (line converter unit) to a power source. Splicing in to the power line that powers your sound system is fine, or you can simply use an add-a-fuse from the fuse box in your trunk. STEP 2: Buy an aftermarket amplifier with the correct wattage and resistance for the aftermarket sub that you choose. Wire an amplifier fuse and amplifier cable directly to the positive terminal of your battery in the trunk, making sure the fuse is less than 18 inches (or less) away from the battery. STEP 3: Have the remote out wire (blue wire) from the LC2i go to the 'remote in' of your aftermarket amplifier. This will automatically turn on the amp when the LC2i detects an audio signal. STEP 4: Take the speaker wires that were going to your OEM sub and route them to your 'line in' terminals on your LC2i. STEP 5: Use RCA cables to connect your now low-level 'line-out' terminals to your aftermarket amplifier 'line-in' terminals STEP 6: Use RCA cables to connect 'line-out terminals' to your aftermarket sub. STEP 7: Enjoy! *Of course, make sure the grounding wires for the LC2i and the amplifier are attached to grounding points prior to powering anything on. (You may wish to play with the gains on your aftermarket amplifer and adjust until you're happy. There are technical ways to do this, but for this mod, tuning it 'by ear' is just fine) So, the LC2i line converter has an 'auto-on' feature, and will turn itself on when an audio input is sensed, and in turn then power-on the amp. Both the LC2i and the amplifier will turn off when you shut down the car.

[@capitalironic]

What a G! Great explanation! Going to be doing this on my a7

[@ryannutter4669]

That magnet on the subwoofer was tiny because it's a neodymium motor structure. I'm NOT standing up for Bose products, though. I feel they are overpriced cheap drivers with lots of EQ added to make them sound "good". However, don't let a tiny magnet like that fool you these days when it comes to any speaker drivers. A neo magnet is a much better performer that a ferrous magnet. Much stronger, and a more linear magnetic flux.

Just saw this vid, does it work with 09 S6 and if so what amp and speaker did u use? Tks

[@Jayhawker340]

I did the Bang and Olufsen system on my RS 7 and it was the best call I ever made on it!! I thought the thermal camera would be better especially for safety but the Bang and Olufsen system and the alcantara headliner ended up being the best options I picked and they were the only 2 i wasn't sure about when ordering my RS 7. I even thought they were a waste of money at the time and that i was crazy. Now tho after seeing this I am so glad I spent the extra money for the Bang system. And yes the alcantara headliner is totally worth it and gives it a much different look and feel that you would never expect. Where i live we have so many street lights and with LED headlights the thermal camera is almost pointless i hardly use it unless I'm out in the middle of Kansas! Thanks for the vid!

[@AndyHuisawesome]

[@seant9080]

Might I ask where you live? I live in Leawood but attend college at KU. Currently looking at replacing my car with a C7 S7 or S6 in the spring. I’ve decided LED headlights, driver assistance, and B&O are the options I can’t go without. I work for Molle Audi of Kansas City so I’ve driven just about every modern Audi in existence, the one option that I haven’t decided whether I need or not is the comfort seating package. I love the massage function and the adjustable bolsters, but IMO the diamond stitched seats are BEAUTIFUL. I would be going for black on black or if I can find an Audi Exclusive Paint car, I’d go with Nardo Gray with black interior so knowing Kansas summers, the ventilated seats might be a nice option. Do you have the comfort seat package and if so, what are your thoughts?

[@mrcjstudio]

Nice upgrade. I got a 10 inch sub and amp as well as a pre-amp in my vehicle. Just bought two new front speakers and tweeters and tuned the whole system and mane........., night and day difference. So I can relate to how much of a difference you are seeing with your system.

[@eduardosoria8735]

What I like about Bose is that they have a clear sound on the mids and highs, and since I love bass I bought some kicker subs. Perfect combo.

[@mholmes9262]

Agree with you 100% about Bose. I'm in an '18 Q50 Red Sport with the Bose 16 speaker system and I'm never happy with the sound, that's why I ended up on this video. Hoping I can do the same thing with my car.

[@Emet30]

So I test drove an S7 and and A7 a month ago. I tried out the Bose system. Pretty good for mids and highs, but lows seems lacking. I have a 2013 Fusion Titanium AWD and the Sony system has much better bass response over the Bose. The Sony system uses free air 6x9s for subs! And the bass on the Sony system has good rumble and adequate bass punch.

[@juanargueta5988]

How is the amp hooked up i need the wiring diagram any help appreciate it

[@CrispImagery]

I’m still waiting on him to answer this smh

[@wax333]

well the bang and olufsen system would have been a huge upgrade in sound over the bose

[@STILLNIGHTPEARL]

wax333 definitely! The B&O in my bros Q5 is loud and very clear, that along with a sub upgrade makes for one very nice system.

[@scottyee707]

its not that great in comparison to aftermarket systems, I use image dynamics speakers/subs and they shit on it...

[@Lonnie91a]

wax333 yes it would be about a $6000 upgrade. Better be damn good for that kind of money.

[@drjd2real]

I’ll be swapping out the Bose amp with a Helix Match DSP amp combo and a complete speaker swap..

[@DanteKnox]

I had bose in a 09 Mazda 6 sounded great with 0 fix hope your sounds better

[@mercedesbenzs05]

Had Bose in my Infiniti as well, and hated it, definitely feel you there. The Lexus premium sound system is so much better than the Bose system. Did you have the Lexus premium system or the ML, and how does it compare to the Bose before and after the upgrade?

[@djpeak10]

Ok so I had the ML in both of my GS 350's and that system was better then the factory Bose in my S7. Now after the mod My Bose system blows the ML out of the water!! I think this is the key. In a factory Bose system you have to crank up the bass to get anything, but when you do that is starts distorting all of the other speakers. Now after I added the sub My bass is set to 2 dashes below half way, where before it was one click to all the way up. This makes all the interior speakers a lot cleaner and they now have the ability to go to higher levels without distorting.

[@jdstarek]

mercedesbenzs05 I feel ya, I have that garbage Bose system in my G37.

[@douglaszepeda3792]

Do you have a diagram on how the NVX Loc was wired into the system and into the amp? System looks great by the way. Thanks

[@missayawk]

Similar what I did to my 2013 Chrysler 300c.Comes with the Beats system.Mids and highs are satisfactory.Bass non-existent.Has a Beats enclosure in the trunk with an 8 inch woofer?, midbass?.Also has the same 8 inch on the deck between 2 6x9's.Removed both 8 inch speakers.Left the space on the deck open and wrapped the enclosure in matching grey carpet and added dynamat to inside of the enclosure.Then added an 8w3 and a xd300/1 amplifier....WAHLA!!! BASS!!! Simple upgrade that will hold me for now.Plan on getting another Beats enclosure for the other side of the trunk and get a xd600/1 amp to run them.

[@tonyd3266]

My kids had MASSIVE systems in their cars and when they ran the big subs they had coke can size capacitors to keep from hurting their battery and alternator. Did you eventually need a CAP. ? Great idea. I wonder is it's similar on my A8L ??? I really like the S7 -- as will all the audi's -- sell them before you hit the 70K mile replacement zone - specially since the S models are double the cost of the As, which are steep.

[@A4rings110]

no cap needed with an amp of this size

[@drummonkeystuffuk1875]

Caps actually add more load onto your cars charging system.

[@lazaroastudillo6787]

Kashif Ahmed I was thinking the same also did you do it aswell ?

[@fredjwu]

I have the B&O on my Q5 and it sucks. Mids and highs are great but for low end deep sounding bass, its subpar at best. I had to adjust base near the top and turn up my volume to maximize the enjoyment out of it and little do you know after doing that for 7 years, i've blown on of the rear driver speakers a week ago. Sigh... I wonder what Audi is going to want me to fix that garbage ... probably a partial mortgage payment. I'll be looking to replace with good quality aftermarket speakers instead. Nice S7!

Black seems safe, but I was thinking a red, something that might pop, but still look classy.

[@djpeak10]

+Austin Elizondo Personally I would do gloss black as it will match everything perfect and look really really good! Any colors on the emblems looks kind of cheesy to me as my buddy did red and I wasn't a fan but I know looks are totally subjective, it's just my opinion.

[@katieducky23]

I have 13 speaker Bose audio system in my K5 and it sounds good. I guess it depends on the car design

[@RocketDrummer]

It is common knowledge that Bose puts more on the sound quality than the bass.. the louder you turn your speakers on, the bass will be more quiet to avoid the distortions. And that is something what is a standard by Bose. Some people miss the basses in the purity of the sound but luckily each individual has its own taste.

[@PEROentertainment]

It's just a subwoofer change. No a big deal. But Bose, B&O, Focal, Cabasse, Monitor Audio, Mission and more than hundred other quality brands, where Polkaudio is included too, are made for serious listening of MUSIC. Not just boom, boom, boom. For this purpose perhaps a Cervin Vega system could be enough.

Hey I'm in highschool and I have a lifted f150 and we have some problems with it but that's not why I'm commenting. Is the Audi s7 a good car. Is it fast and does it come factory with a subwoofer. And if I get a 2014 what big tech things and other things will I be losing. Do the 2014 come with subs?

[@djpeak10]

The C7 platform seems to be very reliable with what I have seen! Yes it does come with a factory subwoofer, 2 different system options, Bose or B&O and both have subs in the trunk by the spare. If you go with a 2014 here are the things that you would not get that the 2016+ have. Alcantara door inserts, usb connections in center console, New MMI, google maps in between gauges on cluster, new headlights and taillights, new front and rear bumper, 30 horsepower, Option for painted red calipers, and Apple car play. Thats everything that comes to mind at the moment. Hope this helps.

[@scottnunya2441]

Sorry. B&O hands down one of the best stock systems out there. Crystal highs, deep integrated lows, and nice punch mids. Designed and engineered specific to each Audi model. Adding a larger magnet sub with more amperage is not what good sound is about. Props to the easy fix though. I've heard the Bose and it is nothing like the B&O (yeah..my S5 has B&O)

Scott Nunya My buddy has an RS5 and B&O sounds great, unfortunately they missed the mark on the C7 platform with B&O.

Hey Jesse I really want to do this on my S6. I live in Rancho Cucamonga, it sounds like you guys don't live too far from me . Any help would be appreciated.

Love your time piece

[@MrDjmurdock]

What is the make and model of the sub?

[@A_guan]

When you install the sub you put in the Poly fill I think it was then out in the sub correct? Just wanna double check

[@djpeak10]

yeah just fill the box with Polly fill when the sub is out and put the sub back in and your good to go!

[@omayerh]

Enough IS Enough! Im done! Going to the dealer to buy an S7 and get rid of my a5

[@AJyfm700R]

Did you do it?

[@johnbaldock6353]

Nice Colour Car!

[@justindoel1764]

Yo it may be just your camera but I didn’t hear a difference or just barely heard something it’s probably your microphone though

[@djpeak10]

Yeah you really can't hear a difference in the video unfortunately but it definitely is a major difference.

[@ze_german2921]

You should look at the Dayton Audio Ultimax subs

[@KillerCams101]

Fact of the matter is; almost all factory stereos are not capable of giving you the sound you would get from an aftermarket install with proper amperage. Most factory speakers are pretty decent but the head units and amps used are so under powered it makes them sound like shit. Just changing the amps would make a world of difference, but changing both makes it sound all the better. I have never changed the factory speakers in any car I've owned, just amps, proper filtering and a sub and amp combo and I sound better than some nightclubs I've been to. LOL Of course it helps that I know how to run and terminate all of the equipment myself. Installation can get pricey. I usually leave the false walls, or custom work to the pros, but I would never let any pro wire up, fuse and tweak my sound system. It's all preference and that's where pro installers tend to save a buck. You don't install 8 gauge wiring for a system running over 1600 watts of power. Little things like that are where you can hurt things like the alternator and battery along with other nightmares. Even when I want a custom wall built, I buy the fiber board, fill and materials myself. I only ask for them to do the work.
