Hi All
Wondering which way to go on reinstalling a stereo system into an A2.
The car in question is the free A2 that A2steve gave to my sister minus the complete Bose set up.
Firstly have sourced speakers/tweeters to refit into doors and an Alpine single cd with blue tooth to go in dash with the stereo dash fitting kick .
As stereo isn't can bus ready, I need to buy a connecting harness with ignition generator(to use to turn stereo on/off etc).
Now this is where my dilemma kicks in.
Do I wire stereo speaker outputs directly to door speakers via original harness? Possible heat issues from stereo in dash??
Or do I look to keep it OEM and source a Blaupunkt amplifier(for rear speakers) and wire original harness back into that?
Or do I source a 4 channel amplifier to replace the Bose amplifier system, Utilize the front and rear pre-outs on the stereo to run to the amplifier
Either way I face a fair bit of wiring from stereo head unit to the foot well storage area.
The original Audi stereo to Bose amplifier harness is only meant to supply audio signals(low power) to the amplifier.
Thanks
