MkIV Octavia VRS Audio upgrade - disappointing
Giannis20 replied to Filternz's topic in Skoda Octavia Mk IV (2020 > )
Thanks for the answer. I've written that I don't want to spend any more money on Octavia's sound, but as you can see, I'm getting caught up in crazy thoughts. To be honest I don't know what to do. In my personal car (my wife's), a 2016 Polo, I just changed the speakers in the doors and the sound improved a lot. I actually put in cheaper speakers, the Pioneer TS-a1600c, but the change was very intense (for the better). I expected something like that in Octavia, but it didn't happen. -

sorry, I can't do that, especially from a photo. You must seek professional help from the store where you will buy the amplifier. There they should help you with the wiring and how to connect it. -

for sure you need another wiring. The wiring needs to have thew quadlock, something like this -

Yes I did it. as far as my hand could reach from the opening of the speaker, I put soundproofing inside, especially in the area near the speaker. I'll wait a little while, maybe I'll get used to this sound quality and see for later. I don't want to give more money for the sound at this stage, I just expected a little better result from the speakers. Anyway, the sound quality is improved, the bass is clear where needed and the resolution is satisfactory. The original speakers are quite cheap in their quality, it seems if you compare them with FOCAL side by side. -

After a few days and 20 hours of using these speakers, i think I'm not satisfied with the sound of my car. Of course it's better than with the original speakers, but it's not at the level i want. Thanks for the suggestion using a small DSP amplifier. I have never had to use a similar amplifier. Usually in the cars I use, (I have leased cars for 4 years) I change speakers and the result is satisfactory. But I can't say the same about the OCTAVIA. -
Infotainment System Restarting endlessly

No, with the specific original file. I will post the link. I don't know if it is OK by the forum rules. If it isn't please tell me to delete it immediately. Update size is almost 10Gb MIB3OI_1969.txt -

Hi, i just did the update to the 1969 version. Finished successfully. I didn't get to see anything about the new version, I just installed it. I will update as soon as I use it for a few hours and I have impressions. -

Yes this is now the most important question. Well, for sure it is better than the original speakers. Clear sound and more bass. But i am still missing the loud bass. I know, i couldn't find it without a subwoofer. I am happy with that kit, the sound quality improved, without becoming great. To be honest I don't know if it's really necessary. I noticed the height difference between the factory and the kit speakers and after the foam solution failed, I made the spacers. I ordered them from a carpenter of course, neither can I, I can do something like that myself. -

It seems there were 2 problems. Reverse polarity and foam pressure. -

I made them out of MDF. I spray painted them black. Nothing special. -

After finding out that the foam somehow spoils the sound quality, I proceeded to the 2nd plan. I removed the speakers, put in rivet nuts and made a 10mm spacer. I also change the polarity. I didn't install the door panels, but the sound is much better, the bass appeared and the treble sounds clear. Today I will complete the installation and update on the final result.
