Hi,
My first post here so hello to all :) I've just bought an 07 A4 S-line Avant Special Edition Quattro with a 2.0TDi 170 engine.
Spent ages looking to find the right one with all the toys - really pleased with the one I got as it has Xenon-plus, RNS-E sat nav, Bose, bluetooth prep, electric heated seats with driver memory, auto lights and wipers, F+R parking sensors, eleccy sunroof, folding, dimming mirrors, etc... Loads of toys to play with :) Basically it has almost everything except cruise control which is a bit of a shame but I'll get round to fitting that soon probably.
Anyway, I have a question about the bose which I'm a bit disapointed with... If I listen to the radio or a CD I have the bass set to almost full gain and still don't get any real bass out of the system. Am I right in thinking the speakers in the doors are only mids and most of the bass is supposed to come from the sub in the boot? If I put my head in the boot I can hear it but it is almost inaudible when driving and sat in the drivers seat. To be honest, the system sounds like there is hardly any mid to low end frequency response - the standard system in my last car had much more low end thump. It needs the treble turning down a good bit to take some sibilance and harshness away but I just can't get the low end to balance out.
Should I visit either
a) My local Audi dealer to check it's all ok
or
b) My local hearing specialist as I am going deaf?!
Thanks all in advance,
Gareth.
