KEF Audio Upgrade Parts - Now Available!

[robjamell]

I have searched and have not been able to find this information. Does anyone know if the factory speaker outputs employ what is commonly known as an all-pass filter where the factory signal employs phase shifts?

Also, I assume there is no one who found a way to grab the signal before the factory amplifier.

Thanks in advance.

I'll let someone else answer the first part of your question (sorry), as I'm not at all concerned with this - Throw in an Audison Bit Drive Amp and this will solve everything.

Regarding grabbing speaker signals before the factory amp - If you did this then none of the factory controls or settings (Volume, Bass, Mid, treble, mute etc, etc) would function anymore, like they do at present, sorry, but I would not advise this method.

Take a look on the Official Audison YouTube channel. Here they'll explain how their amps are unique, especially their integration with all modern cars.
None of their videos I have seen have taken speaker signal prior to factory installed amps, sorry again, but that's a bit 1990's era.

As promised, here are the final 3D printed versions of the front and rear speaker mounts, & Amp Mount, allowing you to upgrade your KEF audio to a far superior system. The front mounts allow you to transform from a 3" speaker to any 6.5" speaker, and the rear mounts allow you to install any far superior 5" speaker.

I’m able to produce both front and rear mounts on demand at a cost of £435 (Including postage if you’re within the UK). The mounts are 3D printed at 100% infill, not hollow or honeycomb.

The amp mount can also be produced upon request for £180, (formed from a single sheet of 5mm aluminium, plasma cut & folded into the perfect shape to mount in place of the cars original sub). All holes are pre-drilled and it’s made to take any Audison Forza amp. A 70mm Stainless-steel blanking plate (to cover the bottom free-to-air sub drain-hole).

Speaker wiring colour codes will also be included, saving you hours of time.

I’ve personally completed this upgrade to my own Emira and the difference is night and day – If you enjoy your music as much as the car, then this upgrade is definitely worth it!

I’m sure there will be many questions, and hopefully I’ll have all of the answers as the installation was completed by myself (plus taken 100’s of pictures along the way should these also be of interest).

Do you ship to the US?

Do you ship to the US?

Hi Pluggy68,

We did ship to the US; however, due to Trump tariff changes, the import duties have become extremely high.

On a previous shipment, UPS initially advised that the import tax would be $59, but once the package was in transit, the charge was revised to $245, which was a significant and unexpected increase....

Should you have an alternative solution in mind, we would be happy to hear your suggestions.

Kind regards,

Keith.
