Upgrading Gen 2 with Meridian speakers...?

[Rivian on a Rampage]

I have upgraded every audio system in my cars prior to Rivian. Would love to but have had multiple 12v batteries replaced. Has anyone experienced 12V battery issue after upgrading and was it covered by warranty?

Gen 1, the only photo would be the sub and alpine unit, all the speakers are concealed.

Honestly, I would pay big $$$ for an upgraded audio system. That is the one thing I truly miss from my previous car.

I felt the same way, however you need to use a company that researches how to work with EV's and Rivian specifically. While I spent a lot of money, it was worth it as the stock stereo sounds terrible.

The Gen2 stereo is definitely disappointing compared to the Model S I just traded in. I’m convinced the speakers aren’t fully tightened down given the rattling—even at moderate volumes. Makes listening to music difficult at times.

I'd love to see a replacement subwoofer. Especially if Rivian offered it in the Gear Shop and had it fully integrated with the factory OS. Imagine on-screen control of subwoofer level. Otherwise, you need to fix the factory signal and then add EQ / level control.

I think better vibration dampening (i.e. dampening mats) in the doors and on subwoofer enclosure, plus upgraded doors speakers and subwoofer driver would yield a good amount of improvement. And less costly than full-on replacement of factory hardware (and adding additional load on 12V).

We've got a sub box otw.

Rivian should really configure the sound system to be either post sale upgradable and/or open a program that allows third parties to perform real upgrade.

I just swapped to a Tri motor Gen2. Listening to the Premium Audio I feel like if the dash speakers were replaced most of the issue would be fixed (along with a sub).

That's my next move.

Strange they took apart a car for research, but have no info on the three speakers in the dash.

Yeah. I saw that.
