Review: AbsoluT5 Audio
got some pics of the van now its had this done?Bit delayed as been manic. Had my van booked in for work to be done in August.
3 stage sound proofing
Anthracite carpet applied to the metalwork
Panel set with complete hidden fixings
Grey and Azure vinyl for the individual look
Mains hook up/leisure battery and sockets installed to customer requirements
Webasto diesel heater using the factory trims for the Oe look
Kenwood DNX 9190dab headunit, with parking sensor/mfd/mfsw and factory camera integration, Kenwood dash camera
Finished of with a remap using Pendle Performance software
Can’t praise these guys enough. Had to book up about 3 months in advance and they stuck to their lead and finish time with no problems with a couple of extras to deal with also
Definitely recommend them
Yeah not in right order for photo’s but basically just using it as a multipurpose Vehicle. The draw i can take it out as with the seats. Have got an extra seat bracket under draw if want as a 7 or 9 seater. When seats folded down the bulk head folds down to form a bed base. If i have the seats out when camping with dogs i have a table base that supports the bulk head folded down for sleeping. Was at a party a while ago and it accommodated 4 adults and 3 kids
Will try another time to transfer this into kombi day ideas
Hope you like my design, works for me when Mrs isn’t moaning about my ocd when camping
Thank you for taking time to reply to my Queries Dellmassive

Yet another heap of praise for @Absolut5! Went over to Salisbury yesterday to have the Signature audio fitted with rear fill speakers. It is incredible! I don’t have any recent experience of aftermarket audio, but absolutely shits all over any “high end” factory audio upgrade I have encountered.
The sound is so clean and crisp, with lovely punchy bass, and the fact that it’s all hidden away is ideal. The sound deadening in the doors has also substantially reduced road noise, and I can now hear people on the phone too!
Instal process very smooth as well. Highly recommend

many thanks for choosing us to install your audio, glad you love it ...

Just because they have loads of good reviews on here and Facebook already, it would be remiss of me not to add another after such a good result and experience with them.
I had the @Absolut5 full 'Signature' sound system upgrade. How can you quantify the quality of the sound in a review ... tricky. I am very impressed and couldn't be happier for the money this system costs. By way of some attempt at comparison, I have had Linn, Meridian, Bose and B&O as manufacturer sound system upgrades in my cars at 3 to 4 x the price of this system and they were no better IMO ! It's that good. .... and it's so nice, with the cabin sound insulation and component mounting system they use, gone are those annoying Bass buzzes in the door panel of the standard Noddy system.
So, why did I choose Absolut5 :
1. The team there have over 40 years of combined experience in automotive audio,
2. They specialise in Transporter audio upgrade systems and have done so for 10 years,
3. They have developed, evolved and perfected their Transporter 'Signature' sound system, it's components and method of install over the last 9 years.
Personally, I think those 3 fundamental parameters are unbeatable by anyone else. Hence their position in the UK market in this respect I guess.
On top of those 'technical' qualifications, the care taken during install is beyond outstanding. They are also known for this. I am well known for my OCD as well and there wasn't even a fingerprint ANYWHERE. No dust, no wiring offcuts, nothing. It was totally immaculate and we all know those 'Comfort Dash's' can get marked just by looking at them
I brought my new Dash Cam along (with hard wiring kit) and they put that in as well. No issues. Works a treat. I also had some Caravelle A-Pillar trims fitted which are finished much more nicely (than standard Highline) in material and with nice stainless Tweeter covers, which IMO lift the cabin 'look' to a higher level in conjunction with the Comfort Dash. I also like it as a visual reminder you've had an Audio upgrade
Pictures attached are, Amplifier under drivers seat, Sub under passenger seat, Sub control on dash and the Caravelle A-pillars (would've liked to show pics of all the speaker upgrades as well but obviously all tucked away) :

I also fitted the Signature setup to my T6 some time ago and I too am very happy with the sound quality. I also have Pioneer rears fitted (unsure to model) however these are not connected via an amplifier, which I feel would greatly improve things further. It is my intention to complete the setup improving the rears for a hopefully fuller sound...though it is pretty awesome in the cabin,
@Absolut5 could you please provide any advice towards achieving this? Amp to use, best way to achieve it? ie add further amp or replace the one I have for one with additional channels?
