I think Dynoaudio can only be appreciated for its quality on a long journey possibly a 2 hour listen, only then you will be able to hear the true difference in sound.
Does 1hr 5mins to work then 1hr 5mins home count? Can't wait :)

I disagree, I'm sure that the significantly improved sound quality can be appreciated on any journey  :cool:

kinda grateful hearing this :) - my 11 mins to work an back may kill the mpg, but not having dynaudio may be ok! :P

As i ordered a pre-built one on lease <GTD> - I didn't get a choice of options! - bahhh, but the standard car looks awesome, and generally, I'm sure the audio is fine :) :)

Anyone try a bootliner with the dynaudio option?

I am just wondering if it will muffle it at all.

Whilst we are discussing Dynaudio, for the others that already have it, I recently noticed what might be a bug (but then might be standard operation).

As you know, you have the option in the Dynaudio sound settings to either set the Bass, Middle and Treble via an Equaliser (Profile setting), or via using Dynaudio's own built in pre sets (Authentic, Dynamic, Voice etc). I noticed on mine, that if I set a pre set, say Dynamic, the next time I go into the sound settings, it defaults to the user profile of the equaliser and not the Dynaudio pre-sets.

I can't be 100% sure if the sound character is being moved away from the pre-set back to the equaliser, but could someone else check this. If you set a pre set (and Dynamic is good for most pop / rock), then some time later (not immediately), check again and see if it defaults back to Dynamic or back to the equaliser pre-set ?

Did you ever get to the bottom of this? Does yours still default to the user profile?

Mine keeps doing the same too!!

Any solution?

Dynaudio is fine with a boot liner as it is only the sub in the boot and subs usually work better in enclosed or partially enclosed spaces.  My Bootliner does not affect the sound in the slightest. :smiley:

Agree, I have a VW boot liner in from day one, and I can't say I've noticed any difference between it being there and not with regards to bass response. TBH, most of the Bass seems to come from the door speakers as the sub in the boot isn't very powerful, but it does add a roundness to the sound without being overly boomy.

Absolutely loving the Dynaudio in the GTD !

I agree there, the sub is not doing much at all. I have had to turn the bass up on the graphic to get the sound right on the system.  I dont think the bass is a s good as the Dynaudio on my Mk6, on the ote rhand that got better after a few weeks of use oddly!
