Would that work in the open cavity in the passenger rear that is available? I had a 2023 R1S loaner with a sub in that area and the rattling from back there outside the vehicle was horrible. Inclined to think a sub in the spare cavity would be better but I am not an expert.
Sweet! I'm going to see if service will sell that part without the subwoofer. But if we use this, the interior trim needs replaced as well since the standard audio has a pocket instead of the grill.
I think your comments are what everyone else has mentioned on things rattling. I'm curious if wrapping that box in felt tape people to install would get good results.
This thread might help. https://www.rivianforums.com/forum/...nder-drivers-seat-and-speaker-harness-pinnoutHey buddy..... Whatcha doing hiding up here?
This is up under the passenger side dash. Orientation is connectors going up into the amplifier. Someone who isn't colorblind, can you find the two wires from the picture in the original post, in this picture?
Not sure what this means, but maybe the amps are the same between premium audio/standard, and it's just software/processing plus extra physical speakers that make up the difference?
I would be hesitant to physically cut the sub wires here since that's permanent. But this would also be an excellent place to tap an output to a wire than already runs back to *exactly* where you need it.
Last question to throw out there, are we thinking the crossover is done through software or hardware? If software, then a full range tap would need to be on a door speaker. But if hardware at the speaker, it could be done at any speaker.
The sub wire back there is software locked at the moment. No audio signal is passed to it. So in order to use it, you'd need to nap a full range door speaker at the amp and physically disconnect it from the amp so as to prevent problems should it ever activate in the future.
you tested no signal is passed through? Then my second theory is that the center channel wires can be taken and re-amplified into a dual channel amp set to send two mono channels to the center and sub. Do you know the ohm rating of the stock speakers?
It’s part of the larger rear quarter panel trim (PT00003451-M). On my Gen2 it looks like it’s riveted with plastic welds. It’s removable but destructive and non-reversible.
I'm not sure the center channel is full range. But I never thought to test it. I only tested the 3rd row speakers since they were the closet to where a sub would need to go.
Arguably you could just buy a sonos arc and put it on the dash. Get a sub and place it in the back and maybe two Eras in the middle row. About the same cost of the 1800 premium upgrade. Kind of ghetto but assume the sound will put the premium sound to shame.
I ordered a Gen 1 subwoofer subassembly (PT0002995-D) before seeing this
