V90/XC90/S90 HK AUD .VBF Files

Interesting. So you found the .vbf file for a 60 series and flashed it to the 90 series AUD?  >>> The VBF files I have are for (B&W) S/V/XC 60 series and I flashed a 90 series AUD nothing knowing the outcome.  I wanted to combine the 2 rear door output channels into 1 full range. It went terribly wrong and ended up buying another B&W AUD from 90 series and rewiring the mid+high channels.  Since I had the full set from 90 series, I also added MID range speakers to the rear doors of my S60.      

I'm not that familiar with HCM / headlight swapping. But I thought if you were installing headlights from a different car you could flash to change the configuration?" >>>> Yes, I retrofitted Full led bending headlights following this thread.  

" Parallels are going to be at the detriment of audio quality.." >>> Well, there is no doubt that if the Audio channel is filtered (high + MID and Low) on the AUD (amplifier) and out put on two separate channel is better than 1 full range channel.  But, it depends on the speakers and the filters (capacitators) on the speakers connected in parallel on a full range output channel. However, volvo's HK MID speakers unlike B&W MID speakers; do not have filters (capacitators) on them.  So, yes in this case the audio quality on the MID channels will be low if they are connected in parallel. 

@spacemanspiff So, if you decide to go with option 2, add a capacitator to your MIDs on the rear doors. 

   

 
  

Yeah, I would like to avoid bricking the AUD if at all possible, haha. Sorry that happened!

Did something go wrong during the flashing process? Were you using Oribt?

I thought I had read that @Power6 had done it successfully?

If I can't get the 90 series configuration loaded onto the donor 60 series AUD, I will probably just leave the rear door mid's out and keep it with the tweeter and woofer in parallel as originally intended. I never sit in the back seat anyway!
