Default 07 A3 Rear Speaker vibrates seat

I noticed that when I turn the volume up, the rear speakers causes small vibrations in the driver seat. It's barely noticeable but it is annoying. I adjusted the fader to the front and could feel the vibrations diminish and disappear. If it's inherent in the design due to rear speaker location I guess I will live with just using the front speakers but it does sacrifice the overall sound. I may call Audi and see if they gave any solutions. Anyone else notice this and have a solution?

Agreed. The sub is in the back, so just turn your bass down and your problem should be solved (for the most part). If for any reason you don't actually like the sound coming form the subwoofer, there are some posted subwoofer tweaks and then there are third party options you can look at.

You might have hit it on the head Chef. I think it could be there is too much bass going to the door speakers because I dont have the upgrade audio which would send most of the base to the subwoofer and quality power in the correct frequency range to the doors. The manual doesn't say much about the stock stereo. I think there is a subwoofer in the stock system but I am not sure. Turning down the base helps alot. I wonder how the bose sounds relative to the stock stereo. Has anyone compared them?

I had some more quality time in my car today and I can't believe how connected to the road I feel in this car. This is one amazing ride!
