I heard its a pain... I tried to get some polk momo's put in and the guy told me the mounting bracket is attached to the door panel not the door frame itself which makes it a custom job... I wanted to try to do it myself but decided the speakers that are in there will be fine until i blow them... so i decided to go with a little bass in the trunk i heard it makes a big difference... the audi sound system is kind of a pain to mod... they made it that way on purpose... hard to replace/upgrade things without rewiring and doing a lot of custom work. I think.

yea i found that alone with the rear speakers...

the actual speaker bracket that screwed to the shelf...

is the speaker housing itself...

so what i did was simply connected another tweeter for more clarity...

id still like to upgrade them though depending on how bigger deal it is...

thanks though....

its actually quite simple...

i took apart the rear shelf by undoing the baby harness (3)...

fed the wiring through the bottom...

and soldered the tweeter connections to the rear speakers...

Front speakers are a pain in the ***, but I've done it a couple times. Here is the adapter I had to make on my earlier car (98 a4). I reused the tweeter mounts, with only slight modification.

the fronts are 4 inch componets but they sell adapters to make a 5.25 fit i found them on ebay for like 15.00 there is a post around here somewhere that has a link to a website that sells the adapters but they where quite pricey. i have not change my speaker yet but will gladly do a d-i-y when i do i had to get the timming belt done first
