Rivian Subwoofer Installation Kit

https://soonishev.com/products/soonishev-subwoofer-enclosure-box-and-wiring-the-tubthumper


We like to call this "The Tubthumper."


As car guys who like nice sounding audio, even the Meridian systems in our launch edition R1Ts felt... lacking. As it turned out, the anemic OEM subwoofer comes installed in a plastic box, and sorely lacks wattage.


After some finagling, we've come up with this MDF Felted box that makes a WORLD of difference to your truck's audio.


IMPORTANT NOTE: Your truck MUST have a subwoofer for this kit to work. This means "Meridian" or "Rivian Premium Audio". If you have just the stock audio system, it lacks the needed outputs and wiring for this kit to be installed.

SoonishEV TopoCharge Wireless Phone Charger for Gen2 Rivian Vehicles

We have also updated out TopoCharge Gen2 Charger. We have gone to an injection molded design, that sits lower in the center console, we made the top mat thicker and it locks into the vehicle, PLUS it comes to a knife edge to make it the transition to the wood look more flush. We have taken everything we have learned from previous designs and applied it here.

Note: We have stopped including the charging pucks as we now support 25 watt charging through Apple Magsafe pucks or PixelSnap pucks. I HAVE LOTS to say about this btw if people want to know more.

Also from personal listening experience - this sub install kit rocks. I’d you’ve ever felt you wanted a bit more low end, this well designed box is a great way to get there!

Any thoughts about just upgrading the speaker with a slightly larger speaker? Without all the other stuff? 😆

Can't fit anything else into the stock cavity. Let alone the OEM amp wouldn't be specced for it. This isn't a crazy install. Some people may think its a crazy install but its really quite straight forward, and not crazy in anyway.

For anyone that looked right away and looked up the subwoofer that was recommended, there was a typo. You probably saw a $900 price and just went away.... They updated the listing to show the correct one now. Please come back .....

What about the step up, JL Audio 8W3v3-4 at $349? Does that fit?

Yup that should work. Perfect size for the box we designed.
Thanks. What’s the volume of the (presumably sealed) sub box?
