    OEM subwoofer in S2, RS2 Avant??

    Was there ever an OEM subwoofer in an S2 or RS2 Avant?

    I have this, and not sure if it would fit or be of any use in any B3/B4 variant vehicle.
    Not even sure those had any Bose components at all, but thought I'd check before I sell it off...



    I pulled this out of a 1998 Audi C4 Avant, fwiw.

    Not sure about earlier systems but later Bose systems in Audis from 2000 onwards needed special wiring (apparently).

      I dont believe there was, I can only see an OEM sub for the cabriolet which was located in the rear seat back if i remember correctly. I keep toying with the idea of grabbing one from a scrappy and seeing if it is plug and play or not.

            I had one in my Cab, with an oem Delta head units sound was good with the sub. Better than my S2 with the same head unit.

            If you try it let us know how you get on and any photos you take.

            Thanks.

                  I know this isn't OEM, but it's the neatest unobtrusive solution I could come up with. It's a Focal 25BUS Sub, it happens to fit in the spare perfectly. Once the boot panel's back in you wouldn't even know it was there.

                    There's a reasonable amount of space under the the battery tray.

                      Gives a worthwhile improvement for its size. Just to put it in perspective, it 's relative compared to a bigger dedicated aftermarket sub.

                      But worthwhile when it is cheap second hand and it's oem.

                          RS2 Avant. Although the spare wheel location is good, often the cd changer was installed there, fixed to the alu' cover
