BSOD

I remember a while ago some folks mentioning that they had their rear deck speakers rattle (under certain types of bass). Was this fixable by the dealer? I've noticed it a bit lately, and I'm just putting together a list of things to mention when I take it in for regular 20k service soon. Wasn't sure if it's just one of those "that's the way it is" deals or not.

same things happening to me....gonna call and ax my dealer.

under warranty on the A4...the rattle became permanent and I took it in for service. On the way home, we noticed a big bulge/bubble under the rear deck and pulled over. AoA "certified" mechanics, lacking a real fix for the rattle, had stuffed paper towels between the rear deck and the metal supports underneath the deck.

I don't think you want a fix like that...you may be better off installing some foam yourself..

Honestly, a lot of people have had this problem. I'm still waiting for my rear speakers, and I reported my problem in September-October.

... and when you go in, make sure they replace them, and not the "wiring".

Good Luck.

Yeah I put in a pair of Audiobohn 6" midbass and it sounds awesome I payed $100 for the pair.

6 1/2"
6 3/4"

That's sounding like such a better solution to my problem then waiting for the dealer to fix my problem... =)

deck. Also they are reverse polarity so +=- and

I had a rear deck speaker rattle under some bass frequencies, only for some reason, at mid volumes. Try to figure out if it's a speaker rattle or if the speaker rattles against something. In my case it was the speaker...and the dealer replaced both of them. Unfortunatley the tech doing it, couldn't figure out how to put the deck back on...and ended up braking the tree white clips holding it in from the passinger seat side. If it was up to me, i'd just have them get you the speakers under warranty and then swap them out yourself.

I tried to just get wiper blades so I could put them on myself previously, but they said they had to do the install themselves along with a writeup/case/ticket/whatever it's called.

I'll play around with it when I get home to see if it's the speakers themselves rattling, or something else (speaker-deck junction?). Sounds similar to your case though - just some bass freq's, mid volume (maybe high too, don't usually blast it)

I took it in 2 different times. Once to replace the left, and the second time to replace the right. So far the issue has not come back.

I suggest taking it in and having them replace the speakers.
