The owner of a 2019 VW Multivan T6 is a businessman with a large family, little time and a strong prejudice that good sound in a car not from the factory is a myth. He explained to us that this is far from his first VW and that the factory sound used to suit him, but the last two cars were a disappointment in terms of sound. Therefore, he decided to replace the factory sound on his previous car, entrusting his car to installers from the world of car audio. However, the new audio system also became a big disappointment, just like the factory one! After that, our client swore off everything else( <\/p>\n\n

But three years passed and the new Multivan really needed a new system, the factory sound was simply unbearable according to the owner, but who to trust your car to so that later it would not be excruciatingly painful? Our client did the right thing – he agreed with us to first listen to one of the cars we prepared with sound, to understand whether there was any sense in all this) <\/p>\n\n

We were just finishing a Ford Mustang Cabrio, in which we had just finished a processor audio system on Audison components. Our client listened to this particular car right after the setup, was enchanted by the sound and immediately ordered a similar set for his minibus. <\/p>\n\n

9 Speaker Processor Audio System for 2019 VW Multivan T6<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n

Here, by the way, is his review on our Instagram account (by the way, subscribe – @electrosila_info and @caraudio_in_ua), which is a reaction to our review of Morel speakers and at the same time another thank you for the new audio system in his car:<\/p>\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n

The entire work on replacing the factory sound with the Audison processor system in this car took 5 days, including partial noise insulation, installation of all components and processor setup. This is very little time to build a system without haste, but with quality and soul, which will please with sound for many years. <\/p>\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n

So, the diagram of the processor audio system in the VW Multivan T6 looks like this:<\/p>\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n

Full channel setup, components from the pre-top Audison Voce series (both loud and very musical acoustics) are used for the front. Coaxials from the same series are used for the rear. The bass subwoofer is an active Audison APBX 10AS2. As a result, all nine processor outputs are fully utilized. The sound source is the standard VW head unit, the signal from which, by the way, turned out to be quite good. We did not even de-equalize it. <\/p>\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n

We got a car with a very good configuration, but despite this, the factory sound is absolutely useless…<\/p>\n\n

Our client even complained about the strong noise from the road, so he asked us to make noise and vibration insulation of the front part of the minibus floor and the wheel arches from the inside of the cabin:<\/p>\n\n

We started disassembling the car, got to the bare (almost) metal of the car, everything is as usual)<\/p>\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n

Metal surfaces were treated with vibration-insulating materials Shumoff<\/p>\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n
\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n

We did not use sound-absorbing material to treat the bottom and arches – look at the photo below, the thickness of the factory insulation and carpet plus the assembly density did not allow us to squeeze anything into the space except for the car’s vibration insulation (in the photo, power and acoustic wires are already laid).<\/p>\n\n

Installing speakers in VW Multivan T6<\/h2>\n\n

Traditionally, we installed all the components at the front in their regular places. It must be said that in Multivan they are quite good, as a result we got a voluminous and high stage. <\/p>\n\n

The midbass was installed using spacer rings. We had to be a little clever – the VW manufacturer covered the standard midbass with a rubber seal, which covers the speaker diffuser from the total volume of the door in front, and thus the midbass sounds more bassy. This is especially important for a three-component system. Therefore, we really wanted to keep these seals, using them together with our spacer rings. In the end, everything worked out – we spliced \u200b\u200btwo sets of spacers to achieve the desired height, and the seals made perfect friends with the spacers. <\/p>\n\n

Here is the standard midbass in the front door of the VW Multivan T6<\/p>\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n

And here is the Audison Voce AV 6.5 midbass in the same front door:<\/p>\n\n

We also installed the Audison Voce AV 3.0 midrange speaker in the standard place in the front door of the VW Multivan T6. But here we had to be clever, because there was no such landing place for the middle one – only a mesh for the speaker on the door panel. <\/p>\n\n

We made a base for the speaker from moisture-resistant plywood, which we securely fastened to the door panel with brackets, using the factory mounting points:<\/p>\n\n

The rear speakers were also installed in the standard place. Two rows of passenger seats were removed to gain access to the factory speakers: <\/p>\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n

The rear wing trim was removed<\/p>\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n

We got to the factory speaker, which itself is not particularly interesting, it should only go in the trash!<\/p>\n\n

We treated metal and plastic surfaces with Shumoff vibration isolation and mounted coaxial acoustics Audison Voce AV X6.5 through a spacer ring in a regular place in the rear wing of the VW Multivan T6<\/p>\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n

Since this car had a full channel system, a lot of acoustic wires were used. We used acoustic copper cable TchernovAudioCable Standard SC 1 and TchernovAudioCable Standard SC 2. We also used a normal amount of power cable, considering the dimensions of this minibus. We also used TchernovAudioCable as a power cable. <\/p>\n\n

In order not to interfere with the factory wiring at all, we used an additional wiring harness with a donor connector for VW to receive the signal from the factory radio. We cut into the wires from the donor connector, and the factory connector remained intact. If the owner of the VW Multivan T6 wants to remove the Audison audio system and install it in another car, there will be nothing in the Multivan to remind you that third-party equipment was installed in it. <\/p>\n\n

Installing a processor with an eight-channel amplifier Audison AP F8.9<\/h2>\n\n

We were lucky that the Multivan has excellent niches under the front seats for the amplifier. We placed the Audison AP F8.9 under the passenger seat, making a podium for it. Under the driver’s seat is the second battery in this car, from which we took power. <\/p>\n\n

Subwoofer in VW Multivan T6<\/h2>\n\n

We proposed a subwoofer based on two requirements – to have enough bass (the minibus is not small in volume) and not to interfere with the interior of the car, not to cut or saw anything. Therefore, the best and most tested by us solution is ready-made subwoofers from the Audison Prima line. They are ultra-compact, bass and melodic. <\/p>\n\n

We didn’t have time to take the final photo of the subwoofer in the car, so we’re showing an intermediate photo to simply understand how compact the Audison APBX 10AS2 subwoofer is.<\/p>\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n

This subwoofer has a remote volume control, which is located to the left of the driver under the seat, you can even increase or decrease the volume of the subwoofer while driving<\/p>\n\n
