Hi, new owner of Skoda Superb 2011 Elegance TDI. Nice car all round but poor sound quality and not great sound insualiton from road. The first i want to desperately do something about. The front speakers (as I believe this is MK11) are in the side front doors and towards the back/hinge so not the cleverest place as the sound goes staright into my bum and seat. I want to upgrade but my local audio shop so he cant because there is no adapter for them. 

 

Has anyone upgraded their speakers, what did they go for and was it woorth it?

Do you have Sound System?

Hi pab567, Ummmm i dont know how can I tell, its touch screen with bluetooth and sat nav but no DAB, the equalizer is rubbish though just bass mid and treble altough i do like the way you can control the balance and the fader, thats clever. 

How many speakers in front doors - 2 or 3 in each door?

Hi, its a 2 speaker as seen in the photo. Is this bad news for me? 

No... I don't know what is your budget, I recommend Gladen One SQX-165 series

£300 budget and that includes the labour to install them. I also would like to get DAB installed too as extra thing but I guess I will just end up doing what I did with my last car and buy a DAB adapter that transmits to an FM frequency that in turn the car radio picks up and I listen that way...unless you know another way!!

 

Tell me more about the speakers, do you know where I can get this done? I'm in Northamptonshire. Will I get new speakers in the front and back?

Also, how where can i get the speaker adapter from, I hear that's the main problem or do I not need a speaker adapter with the Gladen One SQX-165 series?

If a car audio shop is incapable of fabricating a speaker adapter, I wouldn't trust them with disassembly-assembly of the door card.

Fair do's do you recommend anyone in Northants area?

From memory Golf MK5 speaker adaptors should fit. This is what information I managed to gather when I considered doing it. 

 

In the end I replaced the headunit with an android job and that improved the sound enough for me to put speaker upgrades on hold. 

Sorry to Hijack thread. I have sound system written on speakers on my 2011 Superb estate. Sounds great to me the Columbus. Is this what the Superb needs from standard and can it be retro fitted by the OP?

Here are the part numbers of the OEM speakers. Note there is the standard ones and the 'sound system' upgraded ones.

I had a quick look to check sizes and couldn't find anything. I'm sure if you had a longer look you'd find the original diameters and depths. From there it would be a cae of finding better quality aftermarket ones that fit. I was looking at Focal 2-way components for our Superb, then realised the sound quality (Sound system) wasn't that bad after all.

 

Good luck and let us know how you get on.

Hi 

Sorry to revive and old topic. 

I have a 2012 superb and surprise surprise i have clipping at medium volumes. 

Am I right in thinking if im to buy a pair of passive crossovers and just disconnect the resistor behind the tweeter and connect main speaker wiring to the crossover and tweeter i will have eliminated the clipping abd distortion issue?
