For many Cupra Leon owners, the factory BeatsAudio™ system seems like an exciting premium option. But once you start listening, something feels missing—the sound lacks depth, struggles with clarity, and the bass is underwhelming.
That’s exactly what Roman experienced with his FY23 Cupra Leon. Despite its 9 speakers and a 340W amplifier, the system failed to deliver the powerful, immersive sound he expected. After hearing about Mechatronicar, he brought his car to us for a complete audio transformation. His request? Better sound, deeper bass, and a cleaner, more defined soundstage—all while keeping the factory look.
🔧 The Upgrade Plan – Maximizing Sound Quality
To get the best performance without altering the OEM aesthetics, we crafted a high-end solution with:
✅ MATCH UP 8DSP Amplifier – A powerful 8-channel DSP amplifier with precise tuning capabilities, enhancing clarity, dynamics, and bass response. With the HELIX URC.1 SCP remote, Roman could adjust settings on the fly.
✅ Speaker Upgrades – We replaced the weak factory speakers with:
- AVI XL 2-Way Component Speakers (Front) – Delivering crystal-clear highs and rich midrange frequencies.
- AVI Midrange Speakers (Rear) – Improving the depth and balance of the overall sound.
✅ Subwoofer Upgrade – The stock subwoofer didn’t deliver enough low-end impact. We installed an Image Dynamics IDQ12.2 subwoofer in a sealed enclosure, giving Roman tight, controlled, and deep bass.
✅ Sound Deadening – To eliminate unwanted vibrations and improve sound isolation, we applied high-quality sound deadening materials to the front and rear doors. This ensured that the new components could perform at their best, without external interference.
🔌 The Installation – Keeping Everything Plug & Play
One of the main challenges was integrating the new components while keeping everything OEM. We used a plug-and-play harness solution, ensuring:
🚀 No cutting or modifying factory wiring
🚀 Completely reversible installation
🚀 A factory look with upgraded performance
We carefully mapped out the DSP amplifier’s channels to ensure each speaker received the perfect frequency range:
🔹 Front tweeters → Channels 1 & 2
🔹 Front midrange → Channels 3 & 4
🔹 Rear midrange → Channels 5 & 6
🔹 Subwoofer → Channels 7 & 8 (each voice coil receiving optimized power)
🎚️ Tuning & Final Testing – Unlocking the True Potential
With all components installed, it was time for the most crucial step: DSP tuning. We used professional software to:
🔊 Adjust the equalization (EQ) for a well-balanced, natural sound
🔊 Fine-tune time alignment for a perfect stereo image
🔊 Set precise crossovers to prevent distortion and maximize clarity
When Roman sat in the driver’s seat and played his favorite tracks, the difference was night and day. Every detail was crisp, every note was accurate, and the bass finally had the power and control he had been missing.
His reaction?
👉 “This is what the BeatsAudio system should have sounded like from the factory!”
