2019 Cupra - Sound System

[9vienna9]

It's not bad for a standard system but I was a bit put out to not even have the option to upgrade on my 290 Lux.

While driving? He'll probably end up with more than sound to worry about.
This wins dumbest suggestion of the month.

That’s a touch harsh. Surely we all adjust stuff when we are driving? You could always pull over to make adjustments and then carry on or get a passenger to do it if you wanted to be extra careful. No harder than searching for a radio station, entering a sat nav destination or having an argument with your missus

I also own a 2019 Cupra (Copper). Came with the Beats system..
After playing around.. it is not bad at all...

Who makes the speakers in the Seat sound system? Are they the same as the standard speakers for those that didn't upgrade? I had hertz comps in my megane and they just sounded so much better.

Maybe he meant to take a passenger to set it while he was driving

Not as harsh as killing someone while f**king around trying to adjust virtual sliders on a screen in the middle of the dash. It's not the same as pushing buttons on your steering wheel.
Think before posting. Write what you actually mean.

Got all my sliders as high as they go. I’ll probably get some replies to say ¥\$~¥@ about that but that’s what works for me after playing around ages. Most of the music I listen to is bass/ voice focused.

Another thing is the focus of the sound in the car. I found if you select sound focus on “driver” rather than “all” it *could* sound better. But it wasn’t clear enough a difference for me to leave it like it. But maybe your ears will hear it differently.

Some ideas.

So far ive found the system a little flat. Its more clear than my Astra, but doesn't have the bass. Interestingly my equaliser was set to maximum on all bands when it arrived, usually equalisers are set to the middle on all bands by default. Not sure if the delivery guy had adjusted it or not though. Reducing the mids has helped.

At least there are no rattles at higher volumes.

I had the new 2018 Ibiza before I went to my MK3 Leon Cupra, although the sound is louder the quality isn’t quite as good. And in the Ibiza it had the actual values “bass” “treble” etc... which was much more helpful. But I usually use my engine/ exhaust note as my music so no need for speakers

(YES I have the soundaktor off)

I find the driver focus works best for me!

All this talk about Bass, Beats, B&O, Watts, MHz, - will it play my 8 track cartridges?

Yep, but only if you have an afro and pink disco glasses.
