For £400 (about $US600, right?), you can do a *hell* of a lot better with an

Possibly (or not), but the Bose upgrade system is specifically
tailored to each Audi model, including preset multiband EQ.

And $25 worth of speakers marked up 900%.

No EQ can compensate for paper cone drivers and missing tweeters.

Definitely a factory fit job! OTOH, I fitted an Alpine changer to my
A4 for £150, and it took about half an hour - including metal-bashing
to extend the bracket for the bigger changer.


Forget using a changer. Get a head unit with an aux input and use
a hard drive mp3 player. My 20G player holds just under 400 albums.

The very thought of transferring 400 albums leaves me cold. I find it easy
enough just to load up the cassette with my selection of the moment. Also
- where do you put the MP3 player, and how do you control it from the
steering wheel?

Well, I guess that in a car environment, sound quality isn't really
that much of an issue..................

And a functioning brain......................

Perhaps you're not aware that many of the best available speakers have
paper cones, and that the Bose upgrade certainly does have tweeters?
