Sorry if a little off topic, but just wanted to post this here as i just posted it on audizine for my fellow avant havers and lovers!!! i believe i could not find a better place and did want to start a whole new thread for it....
Trunk Trim removale...a simpler version
Hello all, I just wanted to update my thread here for my other avant owners that wish to deal with their weak stock sub or just need to get into this area. I woudl first like to thank walky talky for jump starting this little project of mine.....but must point out that the instruction provided were not entirely accurate. Here is a break down of the steps I did to remove the trunk trim. These instruction applies to either side:

1) Slightly remove the tail gate seal from the bottom plastic latch trim piece and the side of the trunk trim piece you wish to remove.
2) Remove the bottom latch plastic trim. This is held down by 2 phillips screws on both left and right sides, and retaining clips. To remove, pull up and away from you the same time, like in a 45 degree angle from the floor.
3) Remove the floor carpet. To get it out, you will have to remove 4 phillips screws, 2 on each side under the tie down latches close to the seat backs.
4) In the first image posted here by walky, you will notice 3 arrows, the first 2 are phillips screws you will have to remove as well. The third is the striker bolt for the rear seats. To remove this bolt, you will need a DEEP 17mm deepsocket.
5) At the bottom left of teh trim (if removeing the driver side) when looking straight at it, you will notice another tie down latch, this one will also need to be removed. This one, on the other hand, has 2.5" phillips screws, hence deserving its own step
6) The only thing stopping you now is 2 retaining clips. One is located about 2" or 3" above the latch you just removed, and the other is located about 2" from the extra cig/aux power plug. These thing were so embedded in that both of them broke clean from the trim itself. And I had the trim removal tool!!
Once off, you can just lift and move over the folded rear seats out of the way. No need to remove it from eh seat belts or anything. here are some images of the trim piece removed and stock sub.
the sub is actually a DVC!! 6.5" diameter
there actually isn't much room in this compartment where audi installed the sub. I woul say you have max 3" of depth there, fyi if you just looking to put a beefier sub in stick location
