So I spent a good chunk of the afternoon fetching the subwoofer from my car, which was recently totalled. The hatch was crunched in pretty good, so the handle was useless and it wouldn't open. It was pushed in enough that I couldn't lift the sub up over the bolt sticking up through the spare. W/ enough profanity + crowbar/mallet time I got it out...
there was tiny safety glass bits all in teh crivices of it, and I could hear a little rattling inside, so I decided to take it apart, clean it really well.
Figured I'd post up the innards etc.
Top has a plastic cover over the speaker which also provides an external port. ~7 #3 allen head bolts holding it on.
Look at that, 1 tiny speaker...
Flipped it over. 8 screws hold the back on around te hrim, plus in the center.
Check out that "sound padding" stuffed in the backside. Wow.
You can see the control nboard etc. 4 wires to the "sub" LOL speaker, I assume this is for each channel.
And here you can see - 1 wopping 4.5" speaker. Smaller than what's in the doors, hahaha.
Now it dosn't exactly pack a punch but now I'm impressed thsi thing puts out much at all.
When I pulled it, I also went ahead and yanked as much of the wiring harness asa I could,m all the way up to the dash. One thing I noticed was, the bundle had alot of other stuff in it - lines for door sensors, etc.
Which makes me wonder if all vehciles of this year had thsi same wiring, even if they don't have the subwoofer? That owuld have been cheaper/easier to manufacture, most mfrs do that.
Who has an extra plug in their trunk space?
