I have removed my center console speaker but as many of you have mentioned that speaker must blow easily. It looks like a new one is 120 bucks and I have to imagine a better speaker is available vs this Bose paper stuff. Anyone know what will fit or am I stuck getting a new replacement speaker.

My Bose center speaker rattled a lot with phone calls and navigation cues (also with some music!) so I decided to replace it with the original 4H0035402 speaker, price was 118 euros from the dealer.
Rattles are now gone! So well worth the effort! Change took 30 mins, most of the time spent for getting the grill out, otherwise the replacement is very easy.

I had the B&O speaker system in my '14 A8L and I had the same muffled rattling calls coming through (or sometimes on FM radio).
Anyone experience this with B&O instead of BOSE or am I the only one.

guys i have a rattle coming from front center speaker on my new to me 2011 audi a8l with factory bose audio... my friend who has a same year same option car has the same issue, is it the speaker thats blown or is it the grill rattle ? some songs its perfectly fine some its horrible and its bad on phone calls and navigation commands if the volume is up ?
how does one remove the speaker grill on that dash to figure if its the grill or speaker itself?
thank you

I'm having the same issue, I will try to take a look at the speaker, if it is damaged i guess i will have to replace it. It has the rattle only at certain frequencies.
