Dynaudio in Mk6 Golf compared to stock?

Lol... with a passion. I hated it even before Cher made it famous... cause before that it was being used to fix all the talentless hacks who can't sing yet are selling millions of records on the "pop charts".

I used to be like that until I gave the new Bon Iver CD a play.

But by and large I agree.

On Limp Bizkit's new album they have a song called autotunage, essentially taking the p*** out it.

Found the optimal EQ setting tonight: knock the treble up a few notches, mid down at least half way almost 3/4, increase the bass by a tad more than a few notches. IMO best all round setting. Wll post exact numbers tomorrow.

Are you sure that your iPod doesn't have some EQ on it which is causing you to need those settings? One thing the Dynaudio don't need is additional treble! Especially if you've got the mid down

If the MDI is using the line out from the dock connector then EQ settings doesn't apply as the EQ is only used for the headphone jack.

Exactly, EQ and other settings are disengaged when Line Out connector is attached.

Corey, IMO the mids are way too evident with the Dynaudio. A hard snare drum destroys your ears. Treble is beautiful, although half way is not enough, it needs a few notches. Same with the bass.

dynaudio on golf gti mk 6

have the dynaudio with my GTI order last month.
on my contract of the purchase it says "Dynaudio 600w Audio system". i think it must be wrong with the amp power, all golf model should get only 300w.
i think my dealer just put this by mistake. what should i do? let them know or wait till i pick up the car and point out the different from the contract and get some freebee...

armpic,
Yes, Dynaudio is only 300 W System. Not sure that small typo will get you any freebee...! May be being transparent & polite get you something...

Cheers,

VW offers several Dynaudio systems across different models. In the Golf, it's the 300w Excite system. In the Passat CC, for example, it's an entirely different 600w system. Chances are the dealer just has a standard lineitem for a Dynaudio upgrade, which is a bit sloppy. I certainly don't think you'd get anywhere pressing the dealer for any concessions on it though.

Is the stereo upgrade worth $1500?

Hi guys I've now got myself a Gold R with the stock sound system and with just over a week of driving, I'm not really that impressed with the sound quality of the stock system. While it has sufficient base, it lacks mid range and clarity which gives a nice 'warm' sound to each song. My previous car was a Mazda 3 SP23 with a stock 6 speaker Bose system which puts this to shame. What are the thoughts of people that have heard both the stock and upgrade? Is $1500 worth the upgrade? Is the stereo the same manufacturer, speaker size etc

[brimway]

In my opinion, the VW Dynaudio option is not worth the money so I went this way

If you don't want more bass, just go for the front splits and 1 amp. The Dynaudio I had fitted are brilliant, although not cheap.

[DoggieHowser]

I fitted my wife's Golf 77TSI with a Dynaudio Excite 252GT (shallower) and a JL Audio power amp

I didn't know the non GT would work as well.

BTW, there are line outs on the RCD510 so you can use a better external power amp?

[brimway]

The amps I used are Arc Audio, a perfect fit under the seat. My RNS510 has no RCAs but they are not essential, just easier. The RCD510 that came fitted to my MY12 had no RCAs, so maybe you got lucky.
