Put a new power cable for car amplifier. Just wanted to share the easiest way. Remove battery and air filter unit. At the marked spot there is a rubber grommet already available. Cut small hole and put cable through. It will be accessible directly at the drive side.

I've removed the spare wheel and placed new floor. Added the Hertz MPS 250 S4 enclosure. Doorpanels is just two screws in the doorhandles and one at the bottom. Deadening doors and most important inside doorpanel. Amp will be the Audison DSP M8.14. So 2 way front active and backdoors coaxial. Disabling Canton is coding: F5/47: change byte 04 to FF and byte 11 to 05 I made a special 38 pin cable to attach to the original Canton cable loom to connect to the speaker. I've build everything so that I can easily replace back to Canton if I would sell the car. When disabling Canton there will be speaker out on the MIB. So a Quadlock cable from the unit to the driver seat where the speaker wires are located is necessary.

Do you have the canton? I’ve got all the diagrams figured out. I’m going to disable canton and place dsp amp. I also replace the 6.5 with Hertz Mille 1650.3
-
yes. Before facelift 2 way.. I have the 2019 2-way
-
Yes it's two way. I've made a tweeter mount with the right angle and high quality tweeters. That's already way better. The woofers are also replaced.
-
Agree on that. I’ve replace the tweeters and woofers in front as first step and wanted to change the crossovers. The center (only mid there is) was also replace by more high end. but still as an audiophile it’s not okay. I’ve done all deadening doors and that is a must for good sound. I’ve installed better subwoofer also. Next step is disabling canton and place dsp amp. So that will be for me the best option.

I’ve seen these values in the ‘sound system 47’ area of obd. Would this be the crossover frequencies for the speakers?

Head unit difference between Canton and normal stereo?
KoenG replied to HeiKai's topic in Skoda Octavia Mk III (2013 - 2020)
For me to understand.. Disable Canton Byte 11 > 05 long coding 5F (multimedia) -> byte 11 (sound system) -> 05 (sound system external booster) Byte 04 > FF ?? I found this: 3C -> 2 channels, 4 speakers. BE -> 4 channels, 6 speakers. FF -> 4 channels, 8 speakers. So it becomes 4 channels? I can relate to the Front left, Right and Rear Left, Right, correct? But why do they mention 8 speakers? -

Thanks! It's located in the 5F ? I've received the external amp and will install soon -

PS what are the exact functions or the modification? External sound system off? -
woofers front are 8 Ohm, that would be no option to replace them with the Focals..

Hi, is it possible to change back to canton by reversing the coding? Just in case if I would sell the car. -
Hi. Are you still running the hertz speakers with satisfaction?
