If you like music, you’ll love the new CSD Audio Audi Allroad. I crammed a whole bunch of gear in this wagon, some of the best equipment on the planet. Man this thing sounds great! I could go on and on about specifications, part numbers and so on… but instead I’m just going to suggest you set up a time to come take a listen for yourself. There’s nothing around that sounds quite like it!

This Taco got the works! The Pioneer AVIC-8000NEX navigation receiver with capacitive touch screen has all the bells & whistles including Navigation, DVD, HD Radio, HDMI input, USB, Bluetooth. CSD also custom integrated the factory USB plug and Back-up camera to use on the new in-dash screen.
The real star of the show is the amazing sound produced by this system. Focal Utopia Be 3-way front speakers were hidden behind the stock grilles with the Beryllium tweeters molded into the sail panels. A Mosconi 6to8 processor, tuned via laptop, sends signal to three Mosconi AS series amplifiers. An Illusion Audio Carbon C12 in a CSD custom enclosure provides the deep, articulate bass. With the amps & subwoofers behind the back seats and the speakers hidden behind factory grilles, this system sounds incredible and is darn near invisible.
Over the years I’ve auditioned hundreds of different speakers and the Focal Utopia Be are the best i’ve ever heard. The Audi RS5 is among one of my favorite cars I’ve ever driven. It made perfect sense to combine the two and create one of the best driving experiences available.
A Mosconi 6to8 sound processor was integrated into the stock audio system allowing CSD to keep the factory head unit and cosmetics of the interior completely intact. The 6to8 features integrated equalization, 4-way electronic crossovers and time delay allowing flexible and precise tuning of the car for amazing sound quality. Two Mosconi AS100.4 amplifiers send their power to Focal Utopia Be No. 7 3-way speakers and an 11″ Subwoofer. The amplifiers are fan cooled which allowed them to be mounted under the rear deck, up and out of the way. The door and dash speakers were stealthily installed behind the factory grilles and custom panels were created to house the Beryllium tweeters to keep a stock-looking appearance. The end result is an incredible soundstage from a nearly invisible installation.
The original plan was to install the subwoofer into the rear quarter panel in a small sealed enclosure. After talking to the client, who generally listens to Hip-hop and electronic music, a CSD custom designed vented box was chosen for deep bass and much more output. We designed the woofer enclosure in a down-firing configuration to protect the speaker for when the client puts his golf clubs in the back. It’s also easily removable to save weight on track days.
Craig bought this car completely stripped down knowing the first thing he’d change about the car is the lackluster stock audio system. After shopping around, he picked CSD audio to do the work to the Camaro. Technology upgrades were handled by a Pioneer in-dash DVD receiver that adds a 6.1″ touch screen, video iPod playback with advanced app mode, Bluetooth streaming audio and Hands free phone, and a back-up camera.
The audio system is controlled by a Mosconi 6to8 digital signal processor, sending 6 channels of crystal clear signal to the Focal Power Performance amplifiers. Focal’s K2 Power series component speakers provide the midrange and highs. CSD ran all four channels of the FPP4100 to the front speakers allowing for a perfect blend between the woofers down low and tweeters mounted up high in the doors. The speakers were hidden behind the stock grilles hidden from potential thieves. A Focal Performance 12″ Subwoofer fills in the low end providing smooth, detailed bass without overpowering the other speakers in the car.
