Stock Location Subwoofer

[Rocket Man]

Ok I see so the stock subwoofer cannot be seen through the screen it's higher than the hole in the rear?

If it's like the 02"Denali's, it's inside an enclosure and the subwoofer itself can't be seen, the bass just comes out a hole in the enclosure. It's called a seventh order enclosure or something like that. Pull the rear driver side panel to see if it's there. The amp should also be back there.

Here's a few pics from a Bose Center Console that I picked up, from an 05.

This is the sub box in the console.

This is the Bose amp that's inside the console.

The Bose Lux amp and enclosure in the rear of the 02 Escalades and Denali's is a completely different animal. The speaker is inside the enclosure and can't be seen unless you take it apart.

All you see is the port where the sound exits.

Trying to orient myself here... Which way does the speaker face?

The console subs face down; they're just a downward-firing sub. Then there's the rear sub box that has an 8" sub firing outward. Then they made the Bose Lux with the seventh order enclosure in the rear like mine was. 3 different setups to keep it confusing.

I have no clue which mine has....
Not a huge audio guy, but wouldn't mind a bit more punch if I could if by just changing the speaker. Is there more to it than that?

You'll need more power to it also. Just changing the speaker won't do much. First you need to figure out what you have before you can plan an upgrade. For me, I had the LUX system which is pretty good except bass. I used an aftermarket head unit with a sub output and added a mono amp. Then I replaced the rear enclosure with an MTX Thunderform and a 10" JL sub. If you have the regular rear enclosure with 8" sub you can upgrade the sub and then add an amp. Same with the console enclosure.

Mines 06 Bose. Nothing in that rear spot. I have the false grille with no holes in it back there.

No , I mean all you see is a black plastic box. The sub is inside it.

Hard to explain. Did you remove the rear panel and look?
Is it just empty space? If so then idk maybe previous owner took it out. Or disconnected it because it was blown maybe.

*edit. Page didn't load replys. I see mark already posted it lol. But yea it's a weird ass speaker design.

Wow thanks to you all I'll start to go through things so I can see why my sub does not work. Everything is stock so that's why I think maybe the sub is blown.
