timfountain Posted August 8, 2018 Report Share Posted August 8, 2018 Quick question, does anyone know how easy/feasible it would be to add the original factory sub to the original 9-speaker system on the SE (with option 201A). I'm no audiophile but the system is really lacking in bass, but at the same time I don't want to mess around with custom boxes, amplifiers etc. I just want an easy way to add a bit of bass. The 9 speaker system on the 2018 is woefully under-documented IMHO. Thanks - Tim 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmr061 Posted August 8, 2018 Report Share Posted August 8, 2018 Non amplified systems run the speakers to the ACM (in the center stack) while the amplified systems run the speakers to the amp in the back. So you would have to re-run all the speaker wiring, along with adding the wiring for the amp including can bus lines etc. Then there is re-programming the vehicle for the amp system. Probably easier just to install something aftermarket and it would end up sounding better anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmr061 Posted August 8, 2018 Report Share Posted August 8, 2018 OH wait I read that wrong didn’t I....you just want to add the sub not the entire system. Hmmmm, I have had my back apart to put the OEM trailer wiring in. The “sub” really isn’t that impressive even with the Sony amplified system driving it.
