Hey guys, I don't know jackshit about car stereo, so I'm sure some of you are going to laugh. But anyway, I really like to looks of the OEM headunit, and I was wondering if it's possible to run more powerful speakers and subs by using an amp or a combination of amps without having to replace the Bose OEM headunit in my A4. I don't want a banging stereo or anything, but I definately want a crisper sound and some more bass then the stock setup.

Maybe if you guys could point me towards a car stereo FAQ or something, it would be greatly appriciated.

 

yea you can hook stuff up pno prob you will need some adapters and **** but it will work

 

you just gotta fine someone who knows what there doing, you gotta cut out the bose factory amp, put in your own amp then put in the new speakers. From what i hear, its not too bad.

 

yeah Im in the same boat, except I have the concert audi. Im currently looking for speakers to upgrade too but alot of aftermarket speakers are 4 ohm and stock are 2ohm I thnk. With the stock headunit I think will create issues but then again I dont know much about audio specs.

 

same boat as you man. i have symphony and want to upgrade to bose, but i hear its a bitch. i dont know jack about any of that stuff.

 

I'm not 100 percent but this might help, from what i hear you should only have problems with the bose system. If you dont have a bose system you should be able to just cut in the aftermarket speakers just like any other car. If you have the bose, I hear you need to cut out the factory amp, then you'll be able to put the aftermarket speakers in .

 

But then again what about the amplifiers on my rear deck speakers? From what I have heard you have to kill the factory speaker, and take off the amp and install it on the new speaker. The only reason why I havent done this yet is I dont know how aftermarket sound imaging is compared to stock (which is decent for my needs). I have a powered sub I can install and hideaway without loosing trunk space, but I want the"decent enough" speakers to be "good"speakers.
