Spent last weekend making up a few more kits.

So grateful and pleased to be getting such good feedback on these.

Feel free to reach out if interested.

Cheers

Hi all

Following requests asking for a solution for the MK8.5, I now have some upgrade kits using the compatible Hertz Mille speaker.  This is a top end very premium speaker, and as such costs more. Lovely speaker though.

This is also an upgrade on the Audison MK8 version too. Feedback suggests it's a noticeable step up, but I think the difference the Audison makes over the standard and HK versions will be more than enough for most.

So, in summary:

MK8
Audison - £149 plus £6.95 Tracked 24 Signed For postage
Hertz - £229 plus £6.95 Tracked 24 Signed For postage

MK8.5
Hertz - £229 plus £6.95 Tracked 24 Signed For postage

As usual, any questions please ask.

Cheers.

Is the centre speaker in the 8.5 higher / different because of the larger screen?
Prior - MK2 GTi Big Bumper in White
Current - MK8 GTi Clubsport in Moonstone Grey
(Plus Many other non-Golf hot-hatches in-between!)

Hi

With the Audison fitted some MK8.5 owners were reporting crackles. First thought it was interference with the larger screen but more than likely software or amp hardware differences.

The Hertz doesn’t suffer with this.

So, I’ve been reading this with interest. I’m due to order an ED50 (hopefully this decade, come on VW… :grin:). I’ll be ordering the HK upgrade as I currently have Dynaudio on my 7.5PP. Does the HK not already get an upgraded centre speaker then? I’ll be honest I didn’t even know these centre speakers were a thing!

ED50 - very nice!!

I believe the HK system uses the standard speaker, which is why such positive feedback has been received by HK owners.

Just realised that I have not uploaded images of the Hertz option:
