Bro someone just asked for this, you did it already insane!!!!!!!!,
Yes here for my team💪💪💪💪💯💯💯💯💯🙏🙏🙏
Thanks for the video, It's crazy how the factory speakers rotted away, and thanks for the detailed instructions on how to do the door panel!
my pleasure any time
We’ll I did it today. My Audi casing was a little bigger than yours was in the video. I had to rig it and it worked. Sounds great!! Thanks for the video!!
Upgrade coming up soon for the A7 thanks for all the work and vids
Will be upgrading door speakers to Kenwood 3-way. Thanks BMC! Good work.
Excellent instructions and detail, props!
Just installed those speakers, thanks for the tutorial
Installed these today & I can tell it has more bass tho. Thank you sir!!!
With help from your comprehensive video I was able to replace all standard low quality 4 door speakers with High Quality JBL twin cones the result was truly amazing. Awesome of you to take the time for the comprehensive detailed instructions. Thankyou so much Bruce ... Cheers from Australia
thanks brother will do did you see this video i did also,

"And now I'm going to take out this screw." Love the video. Getting my face-lift A4 this week
yes sir, here for you bro good luck
Good video!
thank you for uploading this Bruce
🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏💯💯💯💯
Awesome idea. Going to do the same on my b8.5 s4
Thanks for the video. Yup my speakers are blowing out so this will help.
Do you have any recommendations for dash corner speakers
I got to give it to you, you went all out on this one. Bro I appreciate the time and dedications, and replys, great detailed video, you defiantly deserve every subscriber, wishing you the best
🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏, my pleasure love helping people, god bless
Thanks for the detailed video, are the speaker wires / plugs on the B&O units marked + and -ve?
I just ordered some speakers and spacers so I came here looking for exactly your video dude. Awesome work!
Upgraded my front door speakers to Alpine SXE2035 3 way.👍🏾👍🏾
Thanks for this video! Was it hard to get your soundstage set up/balanced? Can you post your settings F-R & L-R and Eq?
Excellent video. My next project.
First time watching your video. I like the detail instructions! Very informative. Did you put the RF face cover on before you put the door panels back on?Thanks
u are the best
Great idea. Just fill around the speaker with foam. Silicone or flexseal
Sure My Jita,you did it, I am a follower big time.ofcourse let's go to another level,from me Msejo in Johannesburg RSA.
Cool video thanks for the info doing mine now :)
my pleasure
Thank you brooo for that video 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Anytime
Thanks man.
The subwoofer is super easy to do as well and gives it a way better sound than stock with stock amp but awesome video you should do more tutorials !!!
thanks bro, the Im going to do a how to video swell
Are the positive and negative wires coming from the audi housing marked so I know what to connect it to on the aftermarket speaker?
Nice video! Is there any other speakers that will fit? I can't get Rockford in my country l, anything I need to look out for when looking for speakers like these that will fit?
I got 2 different quotes to replace my a5 speakers. Factory replacement $1200 but #the power wouldn't be there. A minimum of $4500 to replace the whole system. I really appreciate this.
Bruce, I have followed your video and it made the install very easy. Big thanks for that! The install is all done and I can't hear much sound coming out of my full range door speakers. I read on one of the Audi forums that when adding after market speakers you need to go into coding under sound system and change to coding to aftermarket Amp to get full range from speakers. Did you do this? I only have the OBDII so I cant re-code. If anyone knows it must be you with all your Audi expertise , help a brother out... Thanks
No I didn’t have to code, I also you a glue gun to seal the holes, also check this one

good job and well explained! did you subsequently insulate the doors and door panels with alubutyl etc?
I had the Audi Sound System in my convertible, not the B&O, so no tweeters in the mirror triangles. I installed the Alpine SPC 100 + 200AU and it's a massive difference. I also replaced the subwoofer on the left side of the back seat with a kicker 6.5 inch woofer with its own amplifier. now it's finally fun!
Greetings from Germany
thanks bro , no I didn't but good idea,
Do you have to replace the tweeters alone with the 6.5 speaker ? I am reading mixed things but I have the concert edition and have some extra rockford laying around I'd like to use
What size are all the soeakers u got aftermarket ones i need to buy my entire speaker system i want it too sound gooodddd
Just recently installed a hertz amplifier in my car I'm sure it was your chanel. Top stuff. Have you upgraded your dash speakers yet?
Very cool video man. Did you end up making any changes to the door tweeter? Or any of the front/rear dash speakers? I have RSNav too so it seems the center speaker needs to stay in place but it would be nice to swap it. Anyway, love how you just went all out on this car and made it whatever you wanted.
yes will be doing another video shortly, and yeh I left the front center alone for rsnav audio
Thank you. The door speakers on my A5 have failed in the same way.
Goat for this. Everyone I took my a7 to told me they either couldn’t do it or it was thousands of dollars for them to do so smh
Thanks bro check this one out to
czcams.com/video/k6w6Jmi9z4U/video.html
How about the back speakers is it possible todo those aswell on factory amp?
(I just purchased an Audi A4 B8 2009) & I enjoy it so far but the speakers are shot, I been doing my research and saw its not as easy to swap to aftermarket bc of the bracket. Are all of these vids compatible to my vehicle? THANK YOU for going the extra mile!
yes 100%
While I admire the enthusiasm for this modification, there are so many mistakes and just complete no no's it is unreal. I will upgrade mine with correct tools and processes thanks for the video though as it offered a bit of inspiration to change my speakers
Cool video
🙏 thank you god bless bro
Hello! I am from Portugal and I have an Audi A6 c7.5, 2.0TDI ultra, from the year 2016 and I would like to know if for my model it will be fit the same type of speaker that you used in yours?
Great video, congratulations on the tip and design of your A5. Peace
im checking for you
Hi Bruce. I am Laszlo from Switzerland.Thanks for this video, it is amazing. My speakers are recently got broken so have to do the same work you did, but I am not sure if I can replace them with 2.5 Ohm speakers. Especially with JBL Stadium GTO 620? The Rockford you are using is 4 Ohm, that is why I am asking you. I appreciate your answer. Thanks.
let me get back with you
Extra mile!!!! Yes 👍 please 🙏 Boom 💥
Can you upgrade also amplifier?mine is broken ,so I would like to upgrade ot
Hi Bruce, thank you very much for everything so far. This is one of my best channels brother. I'm doing a headlight mod for my b8 a4. I'm not good with editing videos. If its ok can I send you a mod video. Its a really nice and simple mod. All credit goes to you. Just as a way to give back to the channel. Thanks.
Of course I’ll tag your channel aswell 💯💯💯💯💪💪💪💪💪
And thanks for the love and support 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🤜🏽
Hey do I need extra cords or the stuff with the electrical tape u put on the aftermarket speaker.? U lost me there ! And the grounding the wires and stuff. Please help. @Brucecustommotors
got these same speakers after wiring and plugging back into the car no sound is coming through???
Hey man. Thanks so much for this guide. About to do this with the same speakers as you put in. Quick question, I’ve watched the video a few times but can’t understand all the wiring and stuff. What do those green things do that you showed on the video at 22:00? And you also talked about wire extensions and stuff. Sorry if this is a lot lol

@@brucecustommotors Thanks! Big help. And lastly, at 22:10, I now understand how to use the crimp connectors, but the other end of the wires, where do I connect those to and how? :) I'll let you know how i get on with this
@@richardmarshall7510 did u figure out how to do it? if so can u help me lol
Add some butyl weather sealant rope (ribbon sealant) around the air gaps between the speaker and the housing for better air compression and lower frequency extension (lower bass better response).
thank you , so much, god bless bro
Bruce I would run a little hot glue around that speaker bracket just for some reinforcement and no vibrating
thanks so much for the pointer
Did you have any issues with your tweeters in the upper door after installing these speakers in the lower door?
What size door speakers did you run in front boss?
nice video, there's nothing wrong with using tie raps, im going to replace mine also.........im going to do mine but im going to try to use black hot glue where the speaker sits.
Great video. If this is how the B&O speaker looks then damn my basic one must be worse. I been looking to upgrade my front 2 door ones but hate to take off the door panel lol.
Question I have, do you know if the non-B&O standard A4 models also have the same speaker cutout in the door? wondering if i'd have the same mount and get the same 6.75" size?
Also, are there any other speakers that would be easier (labor wise) to swap in that would improve the overall sound quality a good amount? i don't need it crazy loud or anything, just something decent better than the factories. maybe the speaker on the top center dashboard? does that make a big difference?
Check these 2 out aswell
czcams.com/video/COXd0Va5Z7g/video.html
czcams.com/video/k6w6Jmi9z4U/video.html
Yes and the same would work for you, also 6.75 would be perfect
@@brucecustommotors thanks. if i do just the smaller door tweeters (near the side mirrors), does that still require to remove the door panel i guess? would doing just the top center dashboard speaker upgrade make as much a difference as the door ones?
Aren't the the stock speakers at 2ohm? These are 4ohm.. how's the sound?
Does this apply to B9 too?
i have Audison 8" speakers in it, also the mid en high
are you getting the higher frequencies through that speaker? I believe there is a low pass filter that cuts off at like 500 hz
He wouldn't be getting much bottom end with that massive gap around the speaker 😂😂😂
Hi Bruce
2 questions
Is your car B8 ?
Do you know the speaker wire colors on the rear speakers ?
I wanna tap in to them from the factory amp and connect it to the high connector of my amp/sub package .
Watch this video I go over everything, including install
czcams.com/video/k6w6Jmi9z4U/video.html
How's the bass?
Thanks Bruce. I did mine today but speakers sound the same as before so maybe I didn’t do the wiring part correctly.
Do you need a positive and negative wire or just one wire?
I didn’t see in the video how you connected the wires.
Cheers
Bob
can you send me a pic
@@brucecustommotors thanks Bruce...I checked wiring again and one wire was loose so have fixed and all is good now. Great video. You are right about the old B&O speakers....why would they install such poor quality speakers in a premium sound system...beats me!
Would these same size speakers work on a 2017 a4 quattro premium model (no b&o)?
Yes
really nice video but i would suggest trying something else than the zipties. i had my front door speakers upgraded and mounted with zipties. yesterday i finally removed them and added normal sealant to prevent any air escaping from the sides of the sepaker and it makes the sound much better since the air cant cancel out the soundwaves as much. i would highly suggest trying it. you could still use the zipties but just make sure there arent many holes where the air can seep thru.
💪💪👍
My only question where I got lost is what is the wire u used to connect the speaker to the housing? Is it like an aftermarket wire kit or did it come attached to your speaker and you used the yellow connectors to hook the speaker to the housing? Hopefully my question made sense.. my door speakers are blown and just concerned on making sure the wiring is right so the speakers actually work when I go to do this whole process....
i just bought speaker connectors from autozone
Do you know if this is the same process with the bang & olufsen sound system that come in some of these cars?
Yes same process 💯💯
Actually the B & O has 2~way component speakers in the doors so the lower speaker would be for the woofer and the 1" tweeter is up near the side mirror. You can connect it as using the factory crossovers or if your speakers came with aftermarket crossovers you can use them but of course that's a little
more complicated..
New subbie here 🙋🏽♂️ Do you have a video for back subwoofer??
hey thanks for being part of the bruce Audi team, got one coming, stay tuned
You on the stock amp?
I put Focal 6.5" components, in the fronts door with a tweeter in the sails, 6.5" focal coaxials in the rear doors, 12" JL W6 with a JL XD600, in the hatch, and had it running threw an Audison AP8.9bit DSP/Amp, but it stole a ton of the MMI 3G functions, so i removed the Audison, and have the doors running off the stock amp for now, and the Sub and Sub amp taking signal from the stock amps sub signal. It sounds really good, but i am looking for a way to send more power to the doors, to really make the doors shine, without killiing the MMI functions. Any suggestions? This is in a 2015 Audi Allroad.
wow im coping your set up, I would suggest a full rang speaker or a 6,75 inch sub
@@brucecustommotors Yea, i would love to build a couple kick panels or similar, to get some nice punchy mid bass. With out anything more than the stock amp powering the doors, it lacks the punch.
What gauge is the OEM speaker wire?
Crutchfield now sells the brackets for the door speakers, has anyone used them?
Congrats on the video. Just bought 4 Pioneer 3 way coaxial speakers for my A4 B8. One question: is there any right/wrong way of conecting the speaker cables to the Audi speaker housing? Big hug 👍🏼
I want to know this as well, did tou figure it out?
@@sharefomar1152 I went for the logic way, the left cable on the left and the right cable on the right. It worked pretty well 💪🏼
@@carretto13 awesome, thank you!
nice vid why did you go from 1 way speaker to a 3 way speaker?
I just wanted more highs, and did the video as a demonstration, i already replaced my sub in the back , so I did not need to much bass, but if you want super bass I would recommend a one way, mid range or even a 6 1/2 sub 💪💪💪💪💯💯💯💯💯
Hey so my subwoofer is blown and I have to change it but I have a box subwoofer with a amp laying around and I have been trying to see if I can put it in my Audi but I have no idea how to connect it.
I’m going to do a video on how to do it shortly, stay tuned 💯💯💯💯💯💯
@Andres Garcia
maybe this video will help you a bit
czcams.com/video/YJQ8buiRutc/video.html
Good video lol but I zip tied too and I think it just broke and fell out I bought the same speakers as you and I may of done something wrong but it is also in an Audi TT
Also I didn’t put this in the video but I used hot glue to seal the hole or you can use foam
@@brucecustommotors I believe my speakers have smaller mounting (rf 6.5 3 way speakers on Amazon) holes so it probably broke. should I buy a cheap mounting bracket to mount on the Audi bracket with like screws
Nevermind I didn’t make a good connection with the wires the zip ties held up good 👍
Can you pls drop the name for the lime green connectors you used to keep the wiring sturdy
i believe they are Tap Connectors. Just correct me if I’m wrong

@@brucecustommotors thanks a lot. Had my A5 for 3 years. I took my RSNAV out my car because I had the first Gen model. Bought it for the Apple CarPlay. They don’t support the first Gen rsnav anymore and don’t feel like spending another $800 for a new system. Going back to the 6.5 screen and a Apple CarPlay decoder box. Unfortunately they sent the box for 3g MMI, and I have the Concert AMI system. Hopefully the decoder box isn’t the issue, needing a cable connector plug or adapter for the screen.

Did you have the B&O Speakers before ?
Yes I did ,can you believe that’s how big the magnet is crazy😱 for such a snake brand to be , so low quality, they tend to sound ok , but since they are paper speakers they don’t last
been having problems where only the front dash speaker, rear dash speakers, and passenger side rear speaker have been working. i figured replacing the front speakers would fix the problem. did this exact setup. still no sound even with brand new speakers and i have no idea what to do.
The factory apm might have blown out
Try installing aftermarket amplifier
Hi are these 8inch or 6.5inch speakers?? Also is your stander tweeters still working??
6.5 and yes

God bless everyone have a great 2020
You could have saved yourself a ton of trouble, cutting and hacking stuff apart, had you just bought the speakers from Crutchfield- they throw in the correct brackets that drop right into place.
Also, you need to seal that speaker off. You're better off making an MDF bracket, have it sealed correctly, and you'll get much better sound. While you've got the doors apart, throw some Dynamat on any bare metal you see.
You are gaining nothing by going to a coaxial or 3-way speaker in that location. The factory B&O amp has specific crossover frequencies, so only sends a limited range to that door woofer. You're better off getting a 2-way component system, and replacing the door woofer plus the corner dash tweeters.
Lastly, magnet size is not an indicator of power level. Different types of magnets are more efficient, and you can get away with using smaller, slimmer, and lighter designs in a car.
If you're going to go to all that trouble, a couple of minor changes will make a big difference to your sound quality.
First and foremost I appreciate , your detailed, and knowledgeable, response, I wish I had some one like you before starting the project, i wish i was an expert like you. however, to your point, I did seal it off, and I already upgraded my rear sub, so I was looking for more mids, than bass, and i matched the 4omh, to get some what of the same power, I new i was taking a risk but I went for it, and it turned out great, but to your point, if you don't get the right speaker, or its under powered or over powered you wont get a great sound. i definitely will look into crutchfield, for future plans, and help out some of my subscribers, would love for you to be a resource.
Thanks god bless Bro, would you mind to providing any links
@@brucecustommotors Appreciate that, but I'm no expert- I have been doing these on my cars for years, and you find little shortcuts and tweaks to make life much easier. Like, having speaker brackets that drop right into place, and seal everything properly- makes this job so much easier, and faster. I'd add some silicone to ensure there are no hard surfaces touching, and eliminate any rattles. Again, Dynamat any bare metal - it really reduces rattles and road noise coming into the cabin, which makes the sound system sound even better.
I think it's great that you're showing people that with some very basic and inexpensive tools, the average person doesn't need to be afraid, and can tackle something like this on a free weekend, and save a pile of money vs. going to the dealership or shop to get something fixed. I would highly recommend getting a set of plastic pry tools, and suggest that those are not optional. (they're like $12 for a set of 4 or 5, in different shapes and sizes). It makes removing trim pieces and speaker grills easier and much safer, as you're not having to apply so much pressure or leverage to a single contact point. You can pop one pry tool into a corner, and with the others, work your way around, leaving the original ones in place. Much less risk of breaking the speaker grills this way- as they do get brittle with age, exposed to sunlight and extreme temperatures for years.
If you go to Crutchfield.com (or.ca in Canada), you can enter in the make and model of your car, year, trim level, and sound package option, and the site will make recommendations based on what will fit, and what will not. If you're not adding an amp, it will even select the most efficient speakers available, so that you can power them with your OEM amp. If you buy from Crutchfield, they will include the appropriate adapters for each door, and include what they call a Mastersheet- basically a how-to guide that really goes into quite a bit of detail, step by step. Occasionally, if you have a weird OEM bracket, the new brackets may require a new self-tapping screw in the door. (I don't work for Crutchfield btw, but have used them for years, and am a happy customer).
The B&O system is actually quite nice for midrange and highs, but it's the bass that's sorely lacking. Most people just add an external sub and a mono amp, and that rounds out the package really nicely. The B&O isn't actually too horrible when it's new- the paper speaker cones are lighter, respond very quickly and are accurate- (and actually cost manufacturers more to make) but the drawback is that they can draw moisture from the air, which you can easily get in a car. Plus, the foam surrounds also do not last as long. Cheers
Is there a reason why my bass is the only thing working in the speaker? I dont have a voice
Would this work on an 05 a4?
👌👌👌
Great content. Quick question...I realize that you replaced the B&O speakers which are supposedly the higher end option. They sound decent at a medium volume but get a little distorted when you crank the volume up. Does the bass on these door speakers help compensate for the rather weak bass output of the factory subwoofer? I trust your judgement just based off of your reaction so I assume the difference is noticeable. My goal would be to turn down the factory bass setting thru mmi and let the door speakers kick out most of the low end.
Great write up, I would say if you want to over power are offset the weak bass from the sub you get the same speaker as me or a comparable brand in a 2 way or 1 way mid vs a 3 way speaker which focuses more on bass, we’re as mine has highs mids, hinge and bass. Hence
3 way the less channels the more bass. I actually wanted more mids. But to your point the benefits of aftermarket speakers is that it has so much more power, when you turn it up it does not get distorted, which is generally from its power peak ,Use my promo code in the description for a discount
FYI...For $100 bucks and about 2 hours of your time this is a real good option for upgrading blown speakers for a better overall sound. I finished it today and the midrange sound really kicks hard for the type of music I listen to. If you like bass heavy music then you would still need to upgrade your subwoofer but if you prefer balance this is the way to go. Quick tip...instead of using a saw or dremel to cut the plastic buy a $5.99 soldering iron. When it gets hot it will cut thru the plastic like butter to remove the factory speaker and you can make nice, clean holes for the wires tires using it also.

Could you throw slim mount 8" subs in there?
Yeh I actually am in the process now addicted to bass, I went 3 way because I wanted more mids, but I already upgraded the back subs, but I’m going to do it
Bro in the original speakers are from 20 cm??? You installed 16,5 cm?! I don t understand this . Can u explain me please ? Thanks
they were the same size, and perform better
Im about to install some speakers to mt doors can you explain a little bit on the wiring you have two pairs of wire? And what gauge? I bought 16
ok I would recommend a mid range speaker with more bass, I went with a 3 way because I already upgraded my sub, and wanted more mids

note the red or maroon looking wire is the positive
it may be maroon and brown, our maroon and blue for positive
@@brucecustommotors perfect yeah I got the same speaker just that I didnt see your affiliate link so I just order them my bad bro and so its only 2 wires? You tape it to the existing one and from the other side just one cable per speaker pole? Or do I need to ground or do anything extra?
@@erikestrada2408 yeh just the 2 wires, also look hit me up for any support, and don’t worry lol, I get 2 cents on a dollar, just looking out for my peeps, and when you install them use something to block the wholes so the the speakers can perform the best. I just used duck tape
Cool bro thanks got it done already 💯 😎
@@brucecustommotors I’m about to install the speakers, what holes are you talking about? And thanks again Bruce love the vids!
Are the back seat speakers the same size 6.75”?
ill check, but I think so
Thanks I would appreciate it before I buy these off amazon..
I wish you would of showed what you did with the wiring on the speaker when it was sticking out. One point it was bare wire then another was all taped out. I wish I saw in between… kinda confused there. Rest of vid was perfect
I would go with a 3-way as well 😂
