"Crackly" speaker first thing in the morning.

[searider]

Morning all,

I have an unusual problem with the stereo in my B5 S4.

For the first 20 minutes or so in the morning my front left hand side door speaker is crackly. For the rest of the day the stereo works fine with no distortion that would point to a damaged cone.

What do you think this could be?

I have the concert with Bose.

Cheers

Duncan

I have this exact same problem, but as you say it's goes away once warm.

Could you have condensation inside the doorcard?

i have this on the rs4 but tried a spare speaker to be sure it was not the headunit and it disappeared - so new speakers for the front for - and htey have to be 2 ohm ones so not many choices.

2Ohm speakers from JBL, 5.25" component set, you'll have to mount the crossover boxes in the lower dash to avoid water damage in the doors.

So,

Does anyone have a front left hand Bose speaker that's surplus to requirements?

Doug, I'm up with you having a re-map on 1st March - don't suppose you have a speaker kicking around do you?

Regards

Must be something though, as I have this exact same problem in my RS4 too; the left front speaker as well - after 10mins mine goes away; though my speaker had blown...

I might try and investiate this weekend as it does my head in

thereis a plastic ring in there - see if it is touching the speaker
