Leon 300 with 'Seat Sound System'

[Glennc91]

Hi Kids,

I am currently discussing renewing my Cupra. I have a 3 door 290 black edition and am talking to seat about a 5 door Cupra 300.

I currently have an aftermarket sub in the boot, but seat offer the sound system upgrade with 'powerful subwoofer' and more speakers.

I cant find any more info or pictures on this and was wondering, for the sake of space saving, would it be worth having. I still want good sound quality, so is the one they offer worth it, how much room does it take up, how good is the quality and sound etc?

hopefully someone has the answers and some pictures they can show?

cheers guys

the sub sits inside the space saver wheel under the floor in the boot. Same sub as used across VAG range where it sits in the space saver.

Sound is good with the 'seat sound' upgrade. I have it in my 300 and always spec the upgraded sound system in the last 3 VAG cars owned. i think its a 300w system or something like that so not mega but a big improvement over stock.

The center speaker in the dashboard is also really good at equalising the sound left/right.

There are plenty of threads with discussion about the sound system on this site.

I have SEAT Sound and am pretty impressed with it. I'd definitely spec it in a new model. Anywhere near 50 percent volume and my seat vibrates. Nice and bassy. My model is 2013 so I think the newer ones have one or two more speakers.

Cheers

Subwoofer :-

Everything else is hidden behind the standard grilles, apart from a couple of badges on the front doors :-

I like it. Much better than any other factory system I've tried.

I have it and I can testify it sounds brilliant - I am a audio geek and I am totally satisfied with this... I won't touch it.

Plus 1 for seat sound sounding well. Had very favourable comments from passengers on how good the sound quality is. I like my music and find it more than adequate. It's very easy to get the rear view mirror and seats vibrating with a twist of the volume knob

Just adding to this that I have a mate that competes in car audio comptetitons, has fully built custom systems in cars, etc.
He came to try my car and when he heard the system he just said "this sounds great! If I had it on my daily car, I would do nothing about it!"

I came from a Skoda Octavia that had HORRIBLE sound and where I was ready to change speakers, change headunit, add a amps and a DSP and add a subwoofer.
On the Seat, I tweaked the audio to my liking and... Everything I throw at it regardless musical style sounds great.

 

[Glennc91]

brilliant responses, especially the pictures, that's all the info I needed thanks lads. Ordered a 5 door in mystery blue with the winter pack, sound system upgrade and full link. She's due to land in October. Cheers guys!

Full link is standard on the cupra

I had a 2015 Mk3 Octavia Vrs on lease and the sound was rubbish. I bought my wife a 2016 Fabia SEL and the sound was loads better, I was hoping my Leon with SEAT Sound would be a bit better but it takes it to another level, the best car audio that I have experienced.

Which sound system did you have on the Octavia guys? I have the Canton setup currently and I have ordered a Leon with Seat Sound - Beats Audio is an option in other markets (but on the Cupra R versions only in UK at present). I was hoping that that Seat Sound would be comparable to the Canton, but none of the dealers have a car with it fitted for a comparison.

I have the standard audio with Nav in my Mk3 FR and this is ok, but obviously not a good as the Canton.

It was just the standard sound with the Amundsen head unit in the Octavia. As I stated before I am more than happy with the SEAT Sound, for the extra money it is a no brainer.

I guess the SSS is enough for 97% of all people but not for me. The subwoofer is like a 5" in a plastic bucket. Sure it is worth its money and adds almost no weight, but I was used to more bass punch so added a stand-alone aftermarket active box with a 12".

Yeah I already have a Focal BOMBA BP20 in the current car which is a very tidy little unit with plenty of power and the quality is great. But as I am changing from the pretty little 3 door into the bang average 5 door, I thought I might as well compromise for practicality yet again and have the built in SSS and have yet more room for the wife and child to fill with stuff.

 

[Glennc91]

yeah the full link is standard, but if you go onto SEAT's website it has it as a £150 extra when you configure a cupra. I have since been informed by them that it comes as standard.
