Sub or no sub?
« on: 05 September 2013, 17:08 »
Hi there,
I'm sure this has been covered before but I have just spoken with my vw dealer and I was told that there is only an amplifier in the boot and not a subwoofer with the Dynaudio sound pack. I have looked on the dynaudio website and they claim that the "excite" sound pack does have a subwoofer.

I ordered my GTD in July and so my delivery is not until December 2055! If anyone here is lucky enough to already have their GTD/GTI with a sound pack please can you confirm this either way and possibly add a picture or two?

It defiantly does have a sub, your dealer doesn't know what hes talking about. Pic of the sub: http://www.flickr.com/photos/58190042@N03/8536330173/

I do appreciate the pictures guys..... So it is a fact that what we are seeing is not just an amp fitted into the spare wheel? It has a built in sub too? That is pretty damn smart!

Yep, that's my car in Jimble's link. Sub in the space saver spare wheel, and an amp under the passenger front seat.

"The Excite Sound system integrates with the car's standard Composition Media System, but can also be specified with the optional Discover/Discover Pro navigation systems.
As for audio, the Dynaudio set-up includes nine speakers around the cabin, a dedicated subwoofer and 400W digital amplifier. The dual two-way systems (one each in the front and rear pasenger compartments) each comprise a pair of Dynaudio soft-dome tweeters and two 16.8cm MSP mid/bass drivers."

The Amp is under the passenger seat, the sub in the spare wheel :)

There have been loads of great reviews of the Dynaudio setup recently.

How much is Dynaudio? I might have to get down to the dealers and check out the standard kit!
