Audi A4 - speaker replacement

Speaker replacement in an Audi A4. This car was equipped only with the basic factory audio, which unfortunately doesn’t offer much joy when listening to your favorite music. The highs lack detail, the mids are practically non-existent, and although the doors hide 200 mm mid-woofers, they still don’t deliver what a demanding listener would expect. Fortunately Audi’s head units are among the best and have surprisingly high output. Therefore the simplest solution is to replace the speakers while keeping the factory radio. For this it is essential to choose speakers with optimal power handling and high sensitivity, which allows connection to a factory radio with limited power. Lately we have favored component speakers from the Italian brand Audison for such installations; they meet all the mentioned parameters and also offer very high-quality sound. Thanks to sensitivity above 92 dB the speakers are suitable both for connection to the radio and to an external amplifier due to their high power of 115 W RMS. In this case we chose the first option. We installed the mentioned speakers into both the front and rear doors and, using cable adapters, utilized the factory wiring which is sufficiently robust, so we did not interfere with the vehicle’s electrical system. We soundproofed all the doors with premium Comfortmat materials, which notably enhances the bass response of the mid-woofers and improves their overall sound.
