LR3 Pics of Subwoofer

[schafari]

I am starting to design a new audio system form my 05 LR3 HSE. In the past there has been some talk about the subwoofer. I thought some may enojoy some subwoofer pics. As I once indicated, it is a strange unit. Basically, an inside-out woofer.

Is that your subwoofer design or the factory woofer?

I didn't know where it was locatated (always wondered). It looks like its in the tailgate?

That's the stock one.

 

[schafari]

Indeed, it is the stock subwoofer in the tailgate.

No wonder it's barely noticeable. Would it be difficult to replace it with an aftermarket unit? Doesn't look like there's much room in there.

I assume that is what schafari is going to figure out when designing his updated sound system. The biggest problem with the space is that it's generically bad for a subwoofer. Odds are you'll rattle the hell out of it instead of generate accurate/clean bass... even with significant sound dampening material.

I may be tone-deaf, but I can't tell if the stock sub is on or off at any given time. I have the HSE with the "enhanced" sound system. Looks like LR stuck a $5 sub in the tailgate and jacked the price on the car $1,000.

Really? I definitely notice mine. Its not street pounding bass, but I do notice if its on/off or when I adjust the level of it.

Yeah, nothing. I must have a dud.

Try playing something -- obviously something with a little bass, and put your hand on it. If you feel nothing, time to visit your fabulous dealer.
