Okay, I will test it in both directions to hear what sounds better to me.

Back to the subwoofer itself:

Currently I ran the JL 10W1v3-4.
To get a more accurate and dry bass with the net 13 liter enclosure what do you think about this woofer:

The reason why the Kicker is being used is because its one of the few amps that allows a 40V High level input. This is needed if you have a B&O system. If you don't then you have a wider choice of amp as the input then can be as low as 20V.

I check the google doc that someone provided that Audi b&o s5 dashboard left and right are 2.5” ? I plan to get the focal es165 kx3 and it provide 3” speaker . I wonder does it fit in. Is it possible to do that ?

Hi all,

Does someone know how to code out this errors?

I replaced all the speakers in the car and put a Helix DSP inside. It al works flawless but i get these codes.

or use an LOC that is capable of accepting 40V input and then use any amp you want behind it. JL Audio, Kicker, Audiocontrol, Wavtech all make LOCs that can take a high level 40V input.

It won't fit. You will struggle to find many speakers that fit in that location. But if you have a 3 way speaker system to install, why not use the 2 positions in the door and the tweeters in the A pillar bottoms

good idea from your side, but does the A pillar bottom can fit the focal tweeters? as i see from the technical sheet , the tweeter are 40mm which is 1.5748 inch. im sad my country has limited choices of good brand.
