Title: Speaker Amp upgrade
Post by: jharar on 10 November 2023, 22:04

I  want to upgrade my speakers in R 7.5

Anyone upgraded there speaker if so what set up did you go for?
Any recommendations as I know there are many plug n play speaker kits available from Vibe Focal etc.

Speakers are just straight replacements but how can I add the Amp is there any step by step guide..

Thanks.

Helix Subwoofer with DSP was the best upgrade on my old car, I still think it was probably better than the Dynaudio in my current car.

Just need to shop around as I'm pretty certain I paid £300 for my old one.

Just checked my local ex VW garage which now a VAG specialist and they are doing the whole package for around the same price of £750 all-in.

Many places seem to show the speaker only and leave out the cost of the amp and wiring.

If doing the Helix definitely think about a reverse camera at the same time and it’s the same wiring path + the bootlid.
