Well, at least you got it going, prob. also the enclosure volume has something to say about the improvement since the box is designed for the speaker but you will see. I also have the sub in my B&O Q5 (where I got the idea from in the first place) and it is more than enough for me without all the hi-lo, cables and all the fuss around a 10-12" bass box. Now, for the Hi-Lo, the Canton amp as well as the others (Also B&O amp is made by Harman Kardon) have resistance checks and the only adapter I got and worked flawlessly is: https://www.audiotec-fischer.de/en/helix/accessories/aac.3-hp . The sub I used with it was JBL BassPro Hub and I wasn't satisfied since, as I understood from other colleagues on this and other forums the bass signal coming from the amp to the OE sub is filtered and also capped at a certain level form where only mids go up and in a later stage also the highs are getting filtered to other frequencies. The only way to really boom the AM sub would prob be to get the signal with a DSP or from "full range" front speakers. Another idea is what I posted in the past threads: The Match PP w-8q. You can see the result here in A5-A7 with Canton Amp, so it delivers more than enough: and here: My Helix AAC is now in a drawer since I am no longer using it in my cars. -

Never played with Dayton audio before but I've heard great things about it. Go for it and keep us updated on the sound improvement -

Sadly no, I have also searched for front speakers some time ago and didn't find any decent 8Ohm. The only way to go is a separate DSP and move to 4Ohm 😞 -

Go for B&O and we will talk later. -

Yes, you have the big spare, I have the sff 18 inch. Leave the phase as it is and just swap it. For 50-80 Quid it's just for fun Through the years I've had Hifonics, Jbl, Hertz etc. and I can state that the B&O is perfect in Canton if you don't want just "boom boom" but balanced sound. For better understanding, this is one of my "late" subwoofers https://www.digitec.ch/en/s1/product/hifonics-atlas-atl12bp-1200-w-car-hi-fi-subwoofers-5596562 The difference in sound is obvious and you can check the other threads on Canton to see the feedbacks from those who did it. Also, you can try to fit a 3X4ohm sub from Match into the enclosure but it really depends on the taste and budget. The Match will shake your steering wheel levers but will overpower the speakers. Finally after searching the net for more than 3 years I can say that I found what I needed in both of my Skodas, and that is the B&O. I am looking into modifying the enclosure for the Match sub but it's just for fun since I don't really feel the need for more punchier bass. -

If you have it in the spare, yes. Keep in mind that is bulkier so if you have the plastic containing the spare kit tools on top of the actual sub (Like in Octavia RS with Canton), you will have to find another space to store them. In rest it is plyg and play and not Plug and Pray -

Neah, nobody is laughing. Confusions happen all the time Now it depends on your budget, you can go for Match products that come with OE plug and play harnesses, you can go for Vibe/Hifonics, Jbl BassProHub spare wheel subwoofer and so on. If you are new to this the best way to go is drive to a car Hi-Fi specialist and start there from the budget that starts from ~600 and...well....much higher limits depending on your wallet size. Regarding the Audi sub, you will surely find a member here that will want it, very soon Here are some examples: https://www.ars24.com/lautsprecher/nach-automarke/skoda/26846/skoda-octavia-iv-front-und-heck-lautsprecher-dsp-verstaerker-subwoofer-v4-sound-upgrade https://hertz-audio.com/collections/car-audio-speakers/ -

Most likely. But as the thread says Canton System Upgrade so whoever goes for a sub without having Canton... -

Sad, I have yet to see one without here in RO, but I guess it depends on the importer/dealer and market request on optionals. -

He said he has room for a full spare. The 2021vRS comes with Canton so he is good2go. The RS comes with a small form 18" spare, a flushed Canton and some toolbox plastic cover so he will fit it. The screw should be an M8 with a 10 nut and around 7-8 cm in lenght if I remember correctly. -

My bad, I thought that you are the colleague with the Superb. Go for it and ignore my last comment. -

You have it in a post on this thread by yours trully: 80A035382A Get it, plug it in and...give the feedback here Or nevermind, you have the Sonavox Sub, it is more than enough for you. Don't switch it because the sub comes in the spare, you have the sub on the left side. It won't fit -

Glad to hear that we had the the first success on this! I am also investigating the sub mod for the iV guys and also the Drop-In speaker to the original Canton Box. From what I have found so far it seems that we have a chance with the Sonavox box from Superb FL 3V0035412. I have listened to the sonavox (Canton) on Superb and it also sounds right and tight but the positioning of the box is in the far rear corner of the boot. For the iV members this just might be it. Looking forward to other happy members that got rid of the crappy Canton sub
