How can you access the toolkit? Sure the sub gets fitted in the o/s/r storage compartment and bolted to the car? Lovely work on the sound deadening very much needed.
Hey i just installed mine in yesterday but when i got done to turn on car after about 2/3hrs the car wouldnt start everything works inside just it won’t fire up but when i try to push/start it it comes on but no start but makes clicking noise like battery is dead 🧐🧐 do i need to jump it or since i disconnected the battery for a while it needs to be recoded??
Every vehicle and spec is different when we are doing the installation, we do not advise on these things for people to do themselves, you need to just check the car and signals and pick up the correct and safe wires
Thanks anyway. I figured it out. There is a little space behind the floor hook where the cables can run through. Nice videos by the way 👍🏻 Really clean install.
Hello . I really appreciate what you did guys to this car. I have a question,if you please can give an answer... Tell me why did you put de 165 mm speakers instead of a 200 mm ?? I know that the original speakers have 200 mm . Why didnt install the Audison AP 8 ? Thanks !
Thanks for showing what's possible guys! I didn't think anything could be done about the sound. My A4 has a centre dash speaker, would you upgrade that or delete it? Also where do you get the ignition on signal for the sub? I would come to you but being in Wales.. bit far
Hi, No problem. Delete the centre. There are multiple ignition feeds in the car. But you also need high level input too. Wales isn’t that far, come by and see us 🙏
I’ve got a B9.5 A4, can I do a lot of this myself? It doesn’t have the B&O sound system, and I want much better audio. Or do I need to take it to the shop. I feel like it halves the cost to install myself.
Yes, of course that’s the same in any industry. If you wish to do it yourself, no problem. If you wish for us to carry out the install for you, then of course we can assist
@@CambridgeCarAudio Thats No good news for me🤣 Whats cost fit speakers with making brackets with sound proofing. Same setup as on that car. But in coupe (2door)
What do you get if you only change speakers in the doors for some high quality ones (that are plug and play), without doing the sound proofing, or a subwoofer? I was thinking about only changing those in the doors and soundproofing the trunk only...
@@CambridgeCarAudio I've seen the package, you misunderstood my question :) How big is the difference, if I replace the front door speakers only? I ask, since I'm not really an audiophile, just want OEM+ experience, and crispier sound... Will I get that with the above-mentioned speaker swap?
You specifically mention the "cheap cables" in the front doors but you use the very same cable for the mid bass. Is 20 gauge wire sufficient to run that mid bass?
When we add amplification, we always run new cables. On this occasion, we used the factory cables as the Prima range are very efficient speakers and are designed to run off cables like this and be powered from factory radios. Hope that helps :)
@@CambridgeCarAudio the OE has a 170w amp, 70w is routed to the sub and you're then putting that into the active sub, how are you mitigating such an high original signal input?
@@muffindell the wattage of the factory sub doesn’t matter as we are only using it for signal input. The new amp in the sub deals with the rest. We voltage check units and outputs to measure where the gain levels should be set to ensure optimum and efficiency of the sub and amp
@@CambridgeCarAudio I get your question @Matthew. @Cambridge, most all amps, built in to subs or stand alone, have a max input wattage to their high-level / speaker-line inputs before burning out the circuitry. This typically maxes out around 40 watts. From Audison: "Connect the high level inputs using the proper plug. Applied signal must be between 1 V RMS and 22 V RMS. Don’t use it if you are already using Pre In preamplified connection." Note their range for high-level inputs and recommendation to not use in scenarios such as this install where the sub-line-level is amped to 70+ watts. Unless you use a High to RCA converter which can handle that wattage, the installed sub's amp will burn out early and not be covered by its warranty.
that sub is going nowhere without the velcro ... it's heavy ... anyway ... it's kicking strong because is a coupe car, if it where a sedan ... it will lose some basse ... and i think in the doors are 8 inch speakers ? and u put a 6.5 inch ... for more middle and voice ... i think if u chose an 8 inch it will sound difrently ... sory if i write wrong i'm from roumania :D anyway nice videos ... about the bmw ... i think is a good platform for sound mainiacs ... if u put some audison or focal or hertz and 80w or 60w rms of amplification on the midds and arround 200 w rms per subs ... the only donwside is that the bmw has a 4 inch mid speaker witch is a good speaker for voice but not so great for midds ... :(
@@CambridgeCarAudio I’m sorry but structural integrity is a basic in car audio installation. In an accident that box would would multiply it’s weight by the speed at time of impact. So in a 50 mph crash, that Audison box (at 9.4kg) would have a weight of 376kg. I used to be an IASCA judge and audio installer an this is a massive no no.
Agree. We had a high school kid from our town get into a crash and the speaker box flew over the back seat (hatchback) and broke his neck and killed him. Anything that could become a projectile should be strapped or bolted down
As a sound company, this is a NO. There are dedicated pieces to replace the storage unit in the right side of the boot. Look how ugly that sub looks in the boot. Do something bespoke, and install the sub in the place of the storage unit, which is already empty btw
I have to admit I was underwhelmed with the B&O stock system in my S5. Seems like the system is fine but the speakers they used aren't at all the premium level you'd expect from an upgraded sound system in a 70k+ car. So I'll be upgrading most of the speakers in my car in the coming months.
That’s the best and the clearest installation I’ve seen!
Thank you. Hope you enjoy some of our other videos then 🙏

You need to contact your installer. You shouldn’t have that happen at all if it’s wired correctly
Nice setup 👍
Glad you think so!
Could you fit focal 8" in the rear doors? I have the ISU 200 set from a previous vehicle
Yes i believe you can
Where did you take the signal from ? For the left and right channel of the sub? And the 12v cable
Every vehicle and spec is different when we are doing the installation, we do not advise on these things for people to do themselves, you need to just check the car and signals and pick up the correct and safe wires
Did you have to splice the cable that is going to the stock subwoofer in order to get the signal from it ?
Correct, it has a high level input from rear midbas and sub
Do you guys work on Genesis as well? I have a genesis g70 that id love to upgrade
Yes, feel free to come by so we can spec it with you
Are all the speakers running off the stock head unit?
Yes, that is correct on this particular system
Where did you put the cables for the sub? It does not fit between the floors unfortunately. Did you cut the floor to make it fit?
Hi, we don't advise on how to do the install for DIY, but we did not cut the carpet :)
Thanks anyway. I figured it out. There is a little space behind the floor hook where the cables can run through. Nice videos by the way 👍🏻 Really clean install.

Sub box is ‘Velcro’d’ down, a box of that weight should have a strap or a better mechanical fixing to avoid injury in an accident.
Cables hold it tight too. I have used this myself and never had it move around at all
