Bose subwoofer removal

[NOSOK]

I'm considering removing the sub as it doesn't seem to add much to the sound quality and I could use the extra space.

Does anyone know if this is this is the correct wire that connects to the sub? And would there happen to be any frame connection hardpoints below (either studs or nuts)?

Just as an FYI you need to turn the bass up on these Bose to really make them work.

I was just playing around with the settings, and yeah I noticed that. Bass was at the ~30% mark and it made a big difference just bumping it up to 50%. Turning the bass all the way down sounds the same as unplugging the sub (that wire I circled above is indeed the sub connector).

As for hardpoints there are 3-4 ~3/16" studs that seem to be welded to the body.

I've decided to leave the sub alone for now.

I wonder if your's is blown. I have mine turned up almost all the way and it sounds great in there.

These Bose Subs are not that great but I am living with it.

I don't think the sub is blown. I could definitely tell a difference with it unplugged. However on a different note, I'm positive the rear speakers are shot. When I adjust the fader to the rear, I hear absolutely nothing.
