Factory sound systems carry a lot of weight on the options list - everyone want's that big name audio. Bang & Olufsen, Sensonum, Harmon Kardon, Bowers & Wilkins. Speccing these higher tier sound systems carry a high price, always promising a significant sound upgrade.

However, in reality, the components fitted are almost identical to that of the factory system, usually just more of them, with a very basic amplifier. The improvement in sound is almost just a placebo effect, but there is some additional overall volume.

In this new series, Sound Off, we are showing you what these factory components are really like - the construction, the magnet size and the placements of everything fitted, and then comparing them to available aftermarket components, which offer a SIGNIFICANT upgrade in sound, and the build quality shows it.

In Episode 2, we compare the Audi R8 V10 gen 2 factory system to a Hertz Mille Legend three-way upgrade being fitted to the car. We compare the weight of the components, the build quality, and talk you through why this makes a difference. Notably - the factory tweeter is actually the SAME component that you get with the expensive B&O Upgrade!

The products being fitted to this car, visible in a full Behind The Sound series, are the Hertz Mille Legend ML280 tweeters, ML700 3" mid-range, and ML1600 mid-bass woofer, all running fully active from an Audison Prima Forza8.9 Amplifier.
