Audi A3 8p concert sound system upgrade + speaker covers needed

[Anchco]

Audi a3 2004 3 door
single din concert
box standard audi speakers
i want to upgrade my speakers to vibe slick and was wondering if i needed some mounting adaptors for them and i was wondering if it was all on CANBUS system,

want some speaker covers as well, mainly 2 tweeter covers in bache and front near side door cover

thank you

The car itself runs on the canbus system.

No idea on the speaker upgrade but I'm sure it could be plug n play.

User NHN will be able to advise better than me

so is the sound system canbus?
is there a way too find out on the back of the head unit?
i know that the speakers are connected through plugs so i imagine that i should be able to cut through it and put spade connectors on the end but if it is canbus i wont be able to do this will i?

thank you

The Sound System is a module in VCDS so I assume they are connected to the canbus and you can make coding changes too.

Look on the sticker on the headunit to see if there is a CAN related diagram.

there is no wires for K-bus, DWA GND or bose, but not particually shore what to look for

[Anchco]

do any of them imply that it is canbus?

The radio itself is Canbus - although looking at the speaker outputs you should be alright although a PM to NHN would confirm things.

[NHN]

Canbus is the networking system used to communicate between modules, send signals, the speakers arent part of this system & are either wired from the head unit or amp in the boot.

You would need to take a door card of & test for fitting as it may well require an mdf bracket or the like, you'd need to pop radio out & check wiring to the speaker outputs to see what yours are spec'd for.

what would you suggest for a mounting adapter bracket; MDF or plastic?
