Afternoon all,

Not been here for a wee while hope you are all well!!

Anyway I have 14 reg S3 and having a couple issues with the speakers.

I have the *** and for a while I was getting a crackle from what seemed to be the rear of the car. When I went into the boot I could hear that it was coming from the sub, I unplugged it and left it out for a while then plugged back in and seemed to be ok but then few months later did the same so i repeated the unplug etc.. for the now its ok but wonder if I need a new sub?

The next issue I am having is I jump in the car start up and start driving. 5 mins later the centre speaker (i think) starts hissing/crackling and this can last from 5mins to 20mins. It stops if i mute the sound but straight away comes back on when un-mute. Is it easy enough to replace this speaker or has anyone had similar issues and it wasn't actually the centre speaker? Might be the treble speakers front left & right? It does sound like the centre though.

Anyway any advice is appreciated, thanks for reading.

Andy
 
Think there was a few threads on here about the amp failing/MMI unit failing. Rare the speaker gets faulty, amp are generally not powerful enough to blow a speaker at least in my experience as Audi would safeguard this from loads of warranty claims cause punters have turned the volume up too much.
Things I would check, is the connector loose/broken? Does the cackle happen when engine isn’t running to rule out electrical noise from alternator? Check the cables.
 
I get the exact same crackling from my speaker in the dashboard at the centre. I have the Audi sound system too and the problem sounds very similar, I haven't done anything about it since sometimes its fine and i cant recreate the sound so i'd probably take it in and it would be fine knowing my luck.
 
Evening all,
Same here, not been on for a while, but having the same issue, with the passenger side door speaker in the door card. I thought it was the amp and changed this but the sound is still there. Any help would be appreciated. S3 2002
