Just working through a newly acquired A2 with Bose.
Was banking on car coming with Blaupunkt and just whipping an an android head unit and being done with it.
Car however, came with Bose on the drivers side and Blaupunkt on the passenger side. I guess minor side damage and door swap sometime long ago.
I have to admit to not having pulled the door cards and drivers out to see exactly what's in there I'm just going on the grilles and the fact it isn't driving the front speakers at any volume above a whisper, and it saying Bose on boot, and the trunk sub.
So what I was hoping to find out is:
Would mismatched drivers cause no sound, it was helpfully suggested quite possible in my welcome thread.
If they are mismatched are the plugs the same, can I just put in a couple of secondhand drivers without breaking out the soldering iron?
Could I just remove the driver and tweeter from drivers rear and put it in passenger front and have 2/3 of a soundsystem.
I understand the Blaupunkt tweeters are different from the Bose, but can I get away without replacing those, they seem difficult to get.
Where might I find a pair of tweeters and how much am I looking at spending?
I think that's about it thanks, I can always hum or something if it's a £250 fix.
