Links to Audi A5/S5 B&O subwoofer replacement (probably relevant for A4 B8 saloon/sedan too)14.3.2009 (updated 22.3.2009) - Thanks to LoCal for collecting the following links:Some people have felt that, while the B&O sound system is otherwise great, the subwoofer in their A4 B8/A5 needs upgrading. This is relatively easy on an A4 B8 sedan/saloon or an A5, the subwoofer is under the rear shelf. In an A4 B8 Avant the subwoofer is, at least in the Audi Sound System (also in B&O?), under the spare under the trunk floor, it might be harder to find a suitable subwoofer replacement for that space.

See links below for more on this. Also, see the links for notes on MMI software upgrades - some reports state that B&O subwoofer performance has noticeably improved after software upgrades (e.g. MMI 5570). B&O without MMI - anyone unhappy? http://www.a5oc.com/forums/showthread.php/b-o-without-3844/index.html?t=3844 Will the real MMI please stand up?
