Recently picked up new Elgance and would like to improve the sound quality if it's do able and affordable.

Can anyone recommend someone who could do this for me ? I am near Stafford

Thanks

Hi KT1966,

I've recently done just that.. Here's the handiest way out ( in my view) .. Fit an under-seat sub under the front passenger seat ( aprox£200). Pick up a decent used 32gb gen 2 iPod and hook it up to the armrest data port, set the sound setting on the iPod to your preferred EQ ( I've found 'Loudness' to be the best for me) The EQ settings on the Columbus are not great, this points to amp quality which is average at best, but adequate for most people. . This should work well although I did change all the speakers front and rear, now sounds fantastic. The stock set up to me sounded very harsh ...

Best of luck,

Rob

You could fit an active subwoofer: http://www.briskoda.net/forums/topic/262465-cheap-upgrade-to-columbus-audio-experience/

Thanks - forgot to say though that I don't have MDI in the armrest cubby ( it was a car from stock) so does that rule it out.

 

Also, is there room under the pass seat for anything like a small amp with the electric seats ?

Are you looking to replace the speakers then, if you are considering getting an amplifier?

 

When I looked under the front seats there didn't appear to be much room - although I was thinking of an active under-seat sub at the time.

Amp should fit under passenger seat, as that's where škoda fit it, if you have upgraded sound system installed. 

Not planning on changing the speakers to be honest. I think it would work out too expensive. Thought the amp route might give me enough of an improvement without huge expense....
