A8 D2 speakers in audi rs2 avant

[Jiri]

Hello guys,

When i buyed the car there were Bostons in de rear doors. I wanna keep it to an original look but a clear Sound. Anyone has the original speakers dimensions?
I thought to Put A8 D2 böse speakers.

Be very wary of D2 A8 Bose speakers as they have a very low impedance.
The correct Bose amp and speakers work fine together but don't usually mix and match with anything else.

[Jiri]

So what are you proposing to change to?

[HPsauce]

Eh? I'm not changing anything.

The A8 Bose rear speakers are rather simple 10cm full range, nothing to applaud about.
If you want an upgrade, buy decent speakers (e.g. Focal) and a proper amp and keep/get the original grills to keep the stock look

Well my D2 S8 with Bose had rather more than that at the rear.......
Wide-range speakers in each rear door and bass in the parcel shelf. You do need the full set (including the fronts too) to work properly of course.

[Henkjan]

the bass in the parcel shelf is a sort of sub for the entire system, not specific for the rear door set.

The front is prety OK (for a factory set), but you can do much better with aftermarket gear.
While the Bose did give a better sq than the normal ICE in the A8, it is still far away from what the current B&O has to offer, and I see no reason why you would want to go through the trouble of fitting it in aan S2.

Thanks guys,
Were the speaker panels not 1 with the speaker?
So focal, would be a solution,which type do you recommand?

The 80's rear doors have 13cm speakers with own grille, a separated tweeter and a little ampli.
Good sound but a little poor for me.

[Jiri]

So i must looking for a speaker that has 13 cm, does audi has one? Except the original nokia.

[Henkjan]

if you want to keep the stock looks, put a 10cm coaxial in the front, will fit behind the ori grills. or do as I did and put a compo set with the tweeters in little pods on the dash (no holes needed), woofs in the ori location. (see pic)
for the rear: personally I use rear speakers only as "rear-fill", so only midrange. but if you like to also have the full sound in the back seats, a composet with a 13cm woofer will do nicely

there was a GB for Focal speakers a while a go, some discussion on what fits where is also in that thread: http://www.s2forum.com/forum/showthr...ighlight=focal
