hi all just looking on ebay and seen a audi set of bose speakers, sub and amp will these fit in my 05 leon and if they would is it the a3 or would any audi set fit many thanks martin
bose speakers and sub
- Thread starter mr.leatherday
- Start date
Not so sure all the speakers would.
Audi front tweeters in the Bose system are located in the A pillar, not in the door skin, and are complemented by a centre channel located in the middle of the dashboard to rais the lower midrange out of the footwells.
The door woofers should be a pretty much straight swap.
There are then two rear woofers in the rear doors (which again should fit), and a sub mounted in the boot over the nearside left wheel arch (when I say sub, I mean almost a sub - more bass than components, but if your used to a REAL sub bass you could never call the Bose unit a TRUE subwoofer).
Don't know where the amplifier unit sits, never found it to date.
Be warned, some that are removed sometimes suffer a bit in the de-installation process and can be problematic. Its a decent sound against basic OE kit (for the lazy arse like me), but its no match for a well set up Alpine set up.

ive been looking for something like this. in the past ive replaced speakers with alpine and infintiy and so on in my older cars. but with my lcr the sounds sounds good the all standard, i heard the bose kit fits straight in but how does the sub speaker box fit do ya need to run wires and so on.
I have two Bose subs actually ready to find a way to install, and to warren, the amp is inside the sub box
i dont think we have enough space for the sub to sit behind the rear wheel arch?
i may be wrong...looked at my bro's S3 and then mine when i did my rear washer pipe leak fix and i didnt think it would fit.

the amp wont work because it will have a wiring loom in the car it came from because the connections are different its not like a aftermarket amp where u have a power a remote then your phono leads its just one connection for the bose
get an auto acoustics stealthboxz instead, have a read of this thread: http://www.seatcupra.net/forums/showthread.php?t=22812
