Bose 12-speaker system - Differences between units?

[turtleattack]

Hi guys,

We have a 2021 CX9 Takami, which is the top of the line here in New Zealand.

I've noticed that the 12-speaker units in the US has a Bose front tweeter unit which my unit does not have.

Anyone know the differences?

US models on Youtube

NZ models

Upon checking the Mazda.NZ website, I noticed that both the Limited and Takami models have the Premium 12-speaker Bose audio system. The US market CX-9 also has the 12-speaker Bose audio system in the Touring Plus and up models. I doubt Mazda has fitted Bose tweeters in the US market and not in the NZ market. However, I believe what Mazda did was not give the NZ market the Bose tweeter speaker grills. I think that’s the only difference between the two systems. Purely looks.
