my boot build

[maka10]

just thought i would put up a picture of my boot build.
there are 2 12" audibahn subs running 375 rms each by the amp i put in
8357
lovely sound bit quiet though considering the metal bulkhead boot but when you open the boot its POWERFUL

Very Nice,

Neat Job, without loosing too much boot space either

[maka10]

yeh you can still fit in at least two dead bodies lol

[dazza106]

what more could you ask for....lol

[bez101]

only 2 get an avant

Can you run a sub and amp off of the factory stereo?

[maka10]

yeh you just need to get some low pass filters and you can cut straight in to the original wiring. Simples Eeek

Anymore info on this as its something i'm keen to do!

Are you running yours off of the factory stereo?

[maka10]

yeh its the factory stereo just had to run the power wire from the battery all the way down the car aswell as the remote wire.
then from the back speakers you use a low pass filter before it reaches the built in amp (if your car has one)
plug all your **** into the amp and bobs your uncle!

the only problem i find is that the air movement is nothing compared to what it was in my old car (c2) as the audi has a metal bulkhead.
but the quality will be soooo much better with an avant!!

[DBSK]

Thanks for that! Sounds complicated, wiring isnt one of my strong points!

[maka10]

trust me im no spark i just like bass lol
it sounds hard but there are loads of guides and stuff on the net my descriptions on how to do it are pants lets say!

[craggit]

i got a 2000 watt kicker L7 15" in mine kicking out 1500 RMS don't sound loud untill i open boot so its currently put on my back seats till i figure out how to get more sound from the boot..

[maka10]

yeh i know exactly what your saying you could take out the original sub thats on the rear parcel shelf would act as a port for the boot= more air movement.
i thought about it but dint wana do it as could make it hard to sell!
but very good idea if you want more bass in the car

yeah as said there is a lot of guides out there,
any good car audio place can wire in a sub and amp
for around £70.Im running a vibe 3000w 12" Active
sub in my boot and it runs off the rear amp using
a high low filter.
heres how to do it http://www.a4mods.com/index.php?page=webcontent/pages/stereo.html

or as I said.....get someone to do it for you :)

Cheers guys!

Me and my mate just had a look at this and the connector coming out of the amp doesnt seem to be the same!

Mines a B6 so has anyone got a wiring diagram for the AMP connector?

If i can get that then i rekon i can do this no problem

Cheers

:beerchug:

[maka10]

errrmmmm google it to **** and if you still cant find it go into audi and ask them for the diagram im pretty sure they will have one for a b6
good luck with it!

with A high low filter you can take a feed direct from the wires going into the
standard rear sub speaker.

oh and just google "line out converter" to find the parts you need
