After having my 01.5 S4 for less than a month I think I have already blown 2 speakers. My frontpassenger lower speaker and possibly one of the deck speakers are blown. Because they are Bose, is the only easy way to replace these to get stock replacements? If so, any ideas where I can find replacements for a decent price other than scouring the For sale forums and Ebay? Is it worth taking a chance on used replacements? I didn't think I played my music that loud... I don't know how these blew so easily.

-thanks

 

when my rear subs blew i went aftermarket. the stock speakers tend to blow and before they blow...they blow. if you catch my drift. also from audi they are VERY expensive.(219 per sub at classic audi in florida) and its hard to find good speakers that fit in that spot. it would be better and cheaper to get aftermarket ones for any replacement though, not just the subs.

 

I thought that the Bose were self-amplified and could only be replaced with stock ones unless you did a complete overhaul...

 

i guess the guy that put in my sub found a way around that.

 

yeah go into the DIY and i just saw it he says how to do it

 

what size you going for in the 01.5? same year and same prob

 

I saw the DIY for installing a sub but all I really want to do is replace a speaker. It seems only my front passenger one is blown... you can only tell when DJ's and people are talking on the radio, when music is playing it isn't noticable. I thought the rear one was blown but it was just some plastic rattling. So is stock replacement my only easy way? I'm not looking for crazy upgrade, I like how mine sounds, I just want to find a cheap fix.

 

is it kindof raspy? and shaky in lower volumes. because thats what I have.

 

Yup, it's verydistorted when people are just talking.
