Did a search for this with equivocal results, so: Anyone know for sure where the subwoofer is located on a U.S. model non-B&O 2011 A4 Avant? Thanks for the help.

It's under the spare tire in a plastic enclosure.

For future searchers, it's in the spare well with B&O system as well.

Was searching under the sparetire today, no sign of any subwoofer on the non B&O US P+ model at all. This may explain why I don't hear any difference when adjusting the level through the MMI..I may go for the same install as I have seen on the forum using the space in the rear right sidewell.

Whether or not the sub is under the spare (I haven't looked at a non-B&O to comapre) you can't replace with anything worth a crap as the battery is sitting on top of it with the spare on top of that. You wouldn't be able to do anything worthwhile with that spot so going in the cubby is the best option for a new sub.

Chubby? = is this the rear/right storage unit? How much should one expect to pay for a custom box build and fit there? My local store is asking $680 plus parts for one full day of labor to get it done. Is this a good option? Problem is that it's pricey..comes out to close to $1k for the install plus parts.

I am very confused...

Does the standard 10 speaker setup in the wagon include a sub? If this is the case, it's not audible (at least not to me) Also, does the front panel not hold any mids? (eg only bass driver in door and tweeter up in the door by side mirror)??

Thanks for input.

It does have a sub under the spare. Lift off the cover, put your head closer to the tire and you should clearly hear it. It's not a butt kicking kind of sub, but it's noticeable. If you can't hear it at all then it's not working.
I don't recall the frequency range of the front's but they are probably mid/bass speakers.

underneath the spare tire i think, I'll look this afternoon

Yes, you have a sub. It's under the spare tire and battery. It's not a typical "street" type sub but an "SQ" or "home theater" type of sub. It compliments the rest of they system rather than overpowering it. Trust me, if it's working and you turn it off, you'll notice it. If you want what most kids think a "sub sounds like" then you're going to need to upgrade.

$680 is not bad price but it better be a VERY well built enclosure. I've charged more than that but you could park a tractor on them and they had all kinds of little details like recessed sub, beveled edges, integral grill, deadened, terminal blocks, and the 'glass was about 3/4" thick and it was covered in leather, not carpet.

As for the mids they should be in the dash. Easy thing would be to pop the covers off and look. They're just snapped on.
