B&O is fantastic . . . But

[Mitchfin]

So far I'm in love with the new Bang and Olufsen sound system, the 5 extra speakers and increased bass is quiet amazing and 3D sound isn't just a marketing gimmick, I love it. Gone is the B8 lack of bass and volume, but now the system is almost too good for the car, I can't really turn it up past half way without getting some door rattle. Has anyone else experienced this? It seems to come from the door but sometimes it sounds like it's coming from the bottom of the B pillar. The bass is so powerful and full without any thump that you just want to turn it up more but then it's the car that stops you from enjoying the sound. Any suggestions or just dynamat? I would prefer not to have someone crack open my new car, I feel like it's never put back together as solidly.

is it on both sides? or just 1. If just 1, I would venture that there is a loose screw somewhere. Very difficult to narrow it down if you don't pull up some trim to inspect... just my opinion.

[Mitchfin]

It's both sides, sometimes it sounds like it's the speaker grilles. Should I take it into the dealer or is that drastic?

It almost sounds like a door handle cable rattling.

You paid for the warranty as part of the new car price - use it - especially if you can replicate the rattle on command.

Good point, I'm excited to be able to unleash this sound system without a rattle, it's seriously powerful.

Good luck - I expect the repair is an easy fix - and congratulations on your new car!

we've been adding Sub's to BO Systems on other models for a while now

On B8s yeah, I was about to do a sub swap on my B8 cause it was so underpowered. But I don't think you really need a new sub on the B9, I listen to a range of bass heavy low frequency songs and the sub has been pleasantly strong and clear without thumping or distortion.

My best friend has a new X5 with the $5000 Bang and Olufsen and it's great, but my new B9 kicks his out of the water.

Strange, I think that b&o is still missing some bass......

On the B9?

[Flat]

yes, on B9
overall quality is good, bass is little disappoinment. ( if you compare to aftermarket systems). What comes to 3D sound, I really like it , can't go back to traditional stereo sound.....

if you look sub, you understand why aftetmarket system is better....
