Where in UK Manchester can I get an subwoofer and amp install in my 2006 a6

I don't know of any installers there but I do know that getting the carbon components of the build is easy in the uk, just order from carbon mods or easy composites, they are both based in the UK I believe if you wish to build a box, its not very hard just time consuming I would be willing to answer any question you may have on the build process

no more inset fitment, but I was also able to sand and paint/buff with an automotive gloss coat making it retardo shiny




Update* Ended up pulling the 1500 series sub out and replacing with a 2500 series DD audio 8 since the 1500 had a burr on the voice coil causing it to "clink" when moved just right and this required me to modify the box a little since the 2500 is much more "beefy" so it is now a flush mount sub but I think I like this better. I also had David and Eric with Tuning Gruppe in Mesa AZ do a GIAC flash on the car an man did that make the car feel and respond so much different.

Even though this is not recent (I have wrapped the window and door handle trim in black) i figured i would through it up so some peeps can see what I've been doing with the exterior <br/>

blackalak your car is badass!!

I have a question about the sub and any issues with Codes or powering down issues. I was seeking a similar setup, but i was told from the performance shop that they dont mess with it, and had no one they would recommend at that moment who could do a good job. Im in Dallas,TX for the record and it was Autoscope.


Thanks!

Also, im thinking for doing a similar GIAC tune and pulley. Just curious whats the fastest car you beat todate?

blackalak

Haven't had a single issue with my setup aside from a manufacture defect on the sub, since I only drive the car once a month for like 5 days in a row I haven't had many opportunities to race anyone, I do however believe when I run a 25% e85 75% 91 octane fuel mixture i do around 4.1 or 4.2 sec 0-60 depending on how cold it is outside haha but yeah not a single issue with how I piggyback my audio control off my factory subwoofer

KLATX

Awesome! I'm audio knowledge is very limited, so when you "piggyback" are you able to control the bass in terms of volume. And you kept the factory deck correct?

blackalak

yes, the bass is controlled via factory head unit, since the signal is coming from the factory unit as shown in post #16 on page 2 picture 2,
