Sound System
Hey I am about to put a very loud, very expensive sound system in my
’98 A4 1.8T. Before I start, has anybody done this and have any
suggestions or things I should know about Audi? I am a professional
installer and I know what I am doing, but have never installed a
system like this in an Audi. So if anyone can think of anything that I
should be aware of let me know..thanks.
ps
if you are curious about what I am putting in, here is a list:
Eclipse 5423 Head Unit
Eclipse DA6213 2-channel Amp (bridged mono RMS 1100w @ 4ohms)
Boston Acoustics GT-40 4-Channel Amp (4x45w RMS @4ohms)
Eclipse SC8254 Component Set (Front)
Boston Acoustics NX-67 (Rear Coaxial)
Two Xtant 12" X-Series Subwoofers
Two 1.2 Farad Phoenix Gold Capacitors
Street Wires and Rockford Fosgate wiring all the way around.

Re: Sound System
Make sure you don't short the K-line to the aftermarket head unit.
Mechanics will blow their VAGtool if you do that. A lot of wiring adapter
looms are miswired.

Re: Sound System
I'm sure you know this, but if you're planning to keep the original head
unit, its output impedance is not the standard 4 Ohms. I seem to remember it
was 2 Ohms.
