:confused:
Bit of a random question so I thought I would put it out there. My A8 is one of the non-BOSE versions so it has the otherwise standard Audio MMI system built in. A few months back when I purchased this car I noticed that the subwoofer was struggling with what seemed to be relatively simple tracks namely from a Nelly Futado CD I had which used to play just fine in my previous A4 which did have BOSE. Anyway to cut a long story short, I took it to Audi and they "Supposedly" replaced my subwoofer for me but said that Nelly CD was still popping the Sub. I was told to go away and test out more music and see how things went ... in all honesty the popping was still happening on various music regardless of source CD, IPOD, RADIO.
So did anyone ever experience this with the standard surface mounted sub ?
I have now had the sub removed totally and had another aftermarket 10" sub unit installed which I can only guess will need its own dedicated amp to get the best out of it as currently it seems very sleepy lol. Curse those BOSE people, they got me used to a different sound and I know I will never get that in this A8, but the sub has let me down.
