Where is the Subwoofer in the 2019's?

[PowrRam]

I was at the dealer getting my step bars installed on my 2018 Big Horn. While waiting I looked at a 2019 Laramie that was on the showroom floor. Very nice. Really noticed the increased legroom in the backseat.

One thing though--where in the heck is the subwoofer? I couldn't find it. Laramie's come with the 9 speaker Alpine system with subwoofer as standard equipment, don't they? Where's the subwoofer?

Good Question. I have a 19 Laramie and I haven't spotted it in the couple times I looked around. I though it would be under the back seat in plain view once the seat is raised...nope. So my guess is either under the passenger seat or if there is some kind of cavity for the e-torque set up that is use-able without the batteries taking up the space. I'll have to look under the seat when I'm able...I've seen that they make subs to fit under seats so that's my best guess.

mounted to the back wall, behind the passenger side.

Do you know what size it is ? Thank you for letting us 9 speaker owners know the location.

 

[mhb1638]

No idea.

Looks like it’s time for me to pull the rear seats lol.

Man, my 7 series had that thing in the floor firing up at the rear seat ..........that thing thumped!!! I can't wait to enjoy this 19 system

So riddle me this...9 Speakers in the Laramie, right? 3 on the dash, 2 for the front doors, 2 for the rear doors, 2 in the ceiling(rear). That's 9, what about the sub? Do they count that differently...am I having a mild stroke?

If it's like the speaker count for the 2019, it's 9 speakers + the subwoofer.

I have the 2019 Ram with the HK 19 speaker system and I'm not even sure why they would even consider them 19 speakers when there is only like 9-10 that I counted. They say there's a 10" sub behind the rear seats but if this is true, why did they make the front and rear speakers the treble/bass? Should've made those with mids/highs with only the 10" sub in the rear outputting the bass.

I'm not sure what they have going on in this truck. The bass is sloppy. It's way too dominate, and far from clean. Taking surround off makes the music better, but still not right. And I don't think they dampened the doors and back wall enough for the bass these speakers are producing as I have some rattling.

I have rattling as well but I'm not too worried about that since I have other issues to worry about with the Ram lol. But yes, it definitely is too sloppy and too heavy. Not enough highs in my opinion.

What other issues?
Nm. Saw your other post.

?

they would count the sub as one of the nine.

I have the system in my truck and I am a little sad it needs more power. sounds good but needs more power.

Yeah, I think it would be considered a 9.1 system.

 

[The_Chemist]

I'm really confused. I just ordered a 2019 Laramie Longhorn with the Harman Kardon system.

They claim 19 speakers. Okay, we count separate midranges and tweeters separately. I get that... But, 19 is an odd number. There is a center channel speaker in the center of the dash.

If there is a subwoofer, plus a center channel speaker, the number of speakers should be an even number, right? Am I missing something?

Would someone who has this system please be kind enough to post a picture of the subwoofer? I would really appreciate it!

I assume the center channel is 2-way.

Two way would make sense for the uneven number of speaker drivers!

I would really like to see a picture of the subwoofer, if somebody would be so kind as to post one.
