Subwoofer not working

eprovenzano · Feb 7, 2017

I just picked up a used 15 Ram Laramie. I was going through all of the systems last night and noticed the subwoofer wasn't working. I haven't checked anything, as I'm not even sure where to begin...

Any suggestions.. could it be a fuse, or an option that needs to be turned on?? Any and all help appreciated.

Is the bass turned down on the radio?

No, right now I have it turned all the way up...

Is the sub-woofer plugged in? Next steps would be to check to see if the enclosure is plugged in, and if its not take out the woofer to see if its plugged in, inside the box, and then test the woofer to make sure it is not blown.

Thanks adrian89, I'll look into it tonight. I picked up the truck last night, so I haven't had time to really dig into it yet.

If it's still under warranty - I would just take to the dealer.

I didn't think of that... :favorites13:

Thanks for the head up :happy107:

I just returned from the dealer... They found the sub-woofer was unplugged.. someone definitely had the rear seat out as the wiring was being pinched, and was not routed correctly. They also found some water /dampness under the sub-woofer. I cannot tell where it came from as everything else is dry.

At least now the surround sound works, and while the bass provided by the sub is not over powering... it sure is better than nothing... :happy107:

I've seen in different threads how some of these trucks leak around the third brake light. May be the source of the water.
