Sorry, yes I meant gtx plus dct. Waiting for the lockdown to get over so that I can try door damping and / or underseat subwoofer to get the punch in the bose sound output. Not sure if anybody has tried anything similar.

I think the Bose system is an 8 speaker setup one 6.5" speaker and one tweeter in each door. I am not sure if the system has any amplifier or subwoofer for that matter which is why maybe you don't find that punch in the system's output.

Add an active underseat subwoofer and that should help you a lot in terms of getting out the bass frequency range.

Similar situation, I find my friends with a Ciaz and Scross have better systems. Am planning on an amp and am underseat sub. Will keep the forum updated once done. Have you shortlisted any subs?

Buddy, you mean Seltos 1.4 is comparable to Octavia 1.8 in performance. Really. . So first of all the price difference of on road Seltos 1.4 manual and Octavia onyx is 4.5 lacs in Delhi ( I am not even considering the discounts you can get on Skoda). Octavia - ( 0-100 - 8.1 sec ( verified by numerous sources,) and Seltos - (9 secs) has a difference of 1 sec almost to the ton. I am not a big fan of 0-100 as a parameter to judge any car's performance. It should always be a combination of lot of things. Add Multilink suspension, aerodynamic body, far better chassis and driving dynamics and of course the love of all - 7 speed DSG. There is no comparision between the two on performance at least. Skoda will run rings around Seltos. I am not even talking about the tank like build quality here.

My only point is that Seltos is a quick car, but comparing it to a car from other segment ( Abarth Punto) does not make any sense. If you want to compare, you should always do that with a segment above and not a segment below..

Wow, I knew that the non Bose one is pretty ordinary but heard great reviews about the Bose unit. And to hear your feedback considering its fully loaded with amplifier, subwoofer and front mid speaker is a surprise. Maybe try to tune it differently before you decide on add-ons.

I have GTX and plan to get damping, replace front speakers with better components, rear ones with decent coaxials and an underseat subwoofer.
I think this setup can be done without an amplifier, as I want to keep it plug and play only with no additional wiring.

Can someone suggest me what to do for the problem that i am facing with my seltos gtx+ 7dct. My car goes straight when the steering is at 1 OCLOCK Position and starts to go towards left when steering is perfectly straight. This is from day 1 and my car has done just 500kms. I faced similar issues with my honda city where the honda service guys took a test drive, did some markings with a pencil and removed the steering to correct it (still was not completely straight after several attempts). Do not know what is the problem here. Is it alignment/balancing or just steering to be centred for seltos. Any thoughts guys?

The Branding is top notch but actual sound quality is pretty average. It also does not have an amp and the sub is very inadequate if you like punchy music.

I am quite sure there is Bose Amplifier under front passenger seat.

Please see the link below from the official review as well.

Most likely it's a simple steering wheel alignment issue. You can cross-check it yourself. While your car is parked, align your steering straight (12o'clock) and then check the position of the front wheels. If the wheels are not pointing straight then it's the steering wheel alignment issue. The steering wheel needs to be loosened, realigned and tightened.

The Kia dealer or any alignment shop can do this for you in 5 mins.

The Music had a lot of punch in my test drive vehicle (had to tone it down a bit). Bose is known for punch (too much punch, if you ask me). So there must be a fault somewhere. You can check your music on a TD vehicle to confirm

Has anybody done ecu remapping on Seltos 1.4TGDI? OR Anybody is planning on the same? It looks like someone has done it and claimed to have 170ps from 138ps. Any thoughts ?

Even I have seen Bose Amp (with Bose marking) under passenger seat of my friend's vehicle. I don't know much about wiring, but it surely has lots of wires. Seems like this amp is getting individual speaker input from the main unit and then output also goes to individual speakers. I couldn't count the wires.
