Default Problem with Bang & Olufsen Speakers

Just got my brand new A5 a few days ago. I noticed that the rear speaker above the trunk (I believe that's the subwoofer?) makes a trembling noise when I have the volume up. This is more noticable when I adjust the Fader setting to biase toward the rear. It's been bothering me especially when I'm listening to quiet music like classical or jazz. Do any of you experience this problem?

that's not normal. could just be a loose wire. bring it back to the dealer and they should take care of it.

iPod and SM Card. I get the same problem matter the source I use. But it's not as noticable when I'm listening to Sirius radio and that's why I didn't detect it before I bought the car.

I had the exact same problem with my 2010 A5 premium + and it also went away after the dealer replaced the speaker....plus he said there was a part that Audi forgot to screw down or something like that....

I have a 2011, and have had the same problem from day 1. Certain bass frequencies sound terrible. Was it actually the rear speakers you guys had replaced ? Or was it the sub ?
It seems like they need to bolt some things down back there, or maybe add some insulation.
