Avant subwoofer location?

[Graks]

Where is the subwoofer located in the B8 Avant? I have the non B&O version with navigation, specs says it has 10 speakers...

[bez101]

its behind the right hand side cover in the boot
right as your lookin at the car

[Graks]

no, there is no subwoofer inside the right hand side cover. This is for a B8 Avant.

Check in spare tire compartment.

Its not the spare tire compartment either as far as i can see... Could not see any speakers behind the side compartments either.
Took some pics of it: http://gallery.me.com/m.s.w#100188&v...or=black&sel=0





Seems i dont have the 10 speaker Audi Sound System then, can see on the brochoure that navigation plus comes with 8-channel speaker system with 80 Watt total amplifier. Anyone connected a high-low signal adapter to the rear speaker wires? Going to connect an amp and subwofer in the trunk.

Yes, I would say you don't have B&O since per B&O the sub is by spare, not sure where it is on non B&O, sorry:

If you are not located in the US (which looks like it is the case) you can have the baseline speaker system, which is 1 step below the 'baseline' here in NA, which does not include a sub...

Is it an Audi concert system in your car? If so, the sub is located in your trunk for sure :-) It's a small black plastic thing and does not look like your usual subwoofer box.

(Hvis du har concert systemet sånn som jeg har er subwoofern garantert i rommet hvor reservehjulet eller trykkluftpumpa er)

Sounds to me like you have the base European system. Hi-low converter should work just fine by tapping into your rear speaker wires. Since the sub will only output the low level signal, distortion will be unnoticeable to the human ear (some may disagree...). I did this on my B5 that didn't have a built-in sub and it worked like a charm.

Seems i have the base level audi system yes. Will get an Hi-Low converter and tap into the rear speakers. Have found two types of converters, passive and a active type. Guess the aactive one gives better voltage output... Cant seem to find anyone who has done this on a B8.
