A3 8P Bose Speakers into Mk5?
« on: September 27, 2012, 10:59:32 pm »
As title, will Bose soeakers (doors, mini amp and sub in boot) fit in a mk5?

Reason i ask is because my local scrapyard have a 55 plate A3 with bose and they said i can have the full bose speaker set up for £40 :)

Any help is appreciated, im not too bothered about the sub/amp if theyre hard to wire in but i would like tendoor speakers iftheyre a direct swap :)

My mother's Audi had the Bose system. All badged up with the little Bose plaques.

When removing the door cards (dropped a tinting squeegee) about a year ago they turned out to all be blaupunkt!? :surprised:

Having Bose is only an amp and preset EQ settings. I know this having come from an Audi A4 with Bose.

I dunno if it'll fit or not but take it from someone who's had 2 A3s over a period of 110k miles and 7.5 years - IT'S SH!T

I wouldn't waste your time, just move them on at a profit and have a proper speaker system fitted
