Thread: Dynaudio retrofit / sub install

    Dynaudio retrofit / sub install

    Sorry if this has been previously discussed, just wondering how hard a Dynaudio retrofit would be in an 09 R36? Also wondering how hard it would be to install a sub if the Dynaudio option is too much of a stuff around. Thanks for any help and advice.

    Here's the guide booba mentioned:
    R36 Dynaudio Retrofit Guide

    This was for an '08 R36. Others have had trouble retrofitting the amplifier on later models - looks like VW changed the wiring after '08.

    The retrofit took around 3 months... 3 months to find the parts and 1 day to install! =P .. It was relatively easy after getting the hang of removing door trims etc.

    As for the sub install, I'm working on a custom false-floor enclosure. Will post a couple of photos shortly.

    You can tap the amplifier inputs to get a high-level signal for your amp. The outputs are filtered (above 60Hz from memory?), so you don't want these.

    Northfield at Marooka in Brisbane can install the lot in an R36 (including a Dynaudio Esotar 1200!). They also build enclosures, which in hindsight would have been worth it... If not in BNE, maybe look up a high-end audio shop?

    Thanks for the info, I'm in Melbourne. I'm pretty happy with the stock speakers I just want some more bass, but I wouldn't be too confident installing a sub myself so I'l ring around and try and find a decent place who know what they're doing.

    Finally got a few extra hours to spend on the project..

    Things left to do:

    • Run cabling for sub (2 x 4 gauge cables with 120A Anderson clips, for easy removal)
    • Attach lid of removable box (fibreglassing)
    • Fibreglass suspended speaker ring, with custom speaker grill
    • Cover in carbon fibre finish
    • Save up for Esotar 1200, amp and installation


    Here are the latest pics (bottom 'tub' done, false floor installed w/ dynamatting, lid recessed):

    Thanks, I'll let you know when it's done. Though it may be a while at this rate =)

    A little while has been an understatement.. Had to park the project for quite a while, but it's now back on track (slowly):
