Good. It's only a 4inch so it's not like the system is transformed but it's an improvement. But after all that buzzing anything would have been.

I will try to take the grill out as well as per En Avant's instructions, but not sure if there is more to it or not yet.
How do you remove the center grill?

I realize this is an old thread, but wanted to thank the OP!! The Kenwood worked on my 2012 A7. It was a little deeper than the Bose so the installer had to make a quick cut to accommodate. I paid $29 for the pair of Kenwood and $48 for installation for a total of $77+ tax. Dealer wanted $450 to install the inferior Bose.

Thank you OP!

So I'm in the process replacing mine. For those that don't want to splice I'm 99% sure the Bose connector part # is this: 4E0972575
Unfortunately I can't seem to find a NA source for them.

I just wrote a DIY with pictures on how I did it: Changing the center speaker on a C7 A6

Thanks jpru2001!
