    Missing Subwoofer Control Knob

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    I have a 2015 Allroad with the B&O sound system. Am I supposed to have a subwoofer control knob and bass, or just bass? The reason for this question is that my Nav and stereo system was replaced, under warranty, and I could have sworn that I use to have a subwoofer control knob before.

    No subwoofer control for us AR owners. Have you seen the sub in our AR? Once you see it, you'll understand. Unlike A4 sedans which have a sizable sub, ours is a joke.

    No Audi has subwoofer control. It's just "Bass." Even with the B&O.

    And yes, it's a crummy woofer in the sedan too. Luckily $80 of stuff turns it into something decent. AR guys need to build a box....

    Yep, just recently got through upgrading my sub as seen in the B&O sub upgrade thread.
    There is no knob in the sedan and it's an equally crummy sub.

    I do wish there was a knob so you didn't have to go into the menus.
    The source can make a huge difference on the sub's output. Like satellite radio vs iphone.
    There is almost no difference with the sat radio, but then when I switch to the iphone I'm literally blown away. lol

    Ever since I went with Tmobile and unlimited music streaming, I haven't listened to a single minute of Sirius. It sounds like utter garbage and I really don't like any of the stations....

    I have a separate "knob" in MMI for the subwoofer in my 2013 with nav..... Not B&O though...

    ^ Have you never opened that screen before? I assume you have pf model and have listened for a while. . You can also set those for individualy for each listening preference; iPod, jukebox,cd, radio.

    Hello from 7 years into the future. My 2013 Allroad with basic stereo which has a subwoofer and control for it and it works magnificently. My friend has a 2014 Allroad with B&O and his does not have the option though there is a sub in the back but you can barely feel it. We had to go into the trunk and put our hands on it just to verify it was working. To me, i prefer my car with the subwoofer, even though his B&O main speakers sounded AMAZING but the sub in my car really added an extra punch that we could both clearly notice.
