I did some tooling around and couldn't find much information about the 2019 subwoofer and or how to get to it so I figured I'd save future me's the trouble. Initially I'll just dive straight in to how to get to the sub and then at the end I'll discuss the direction I will be going. Just a warning, this post will be image intensive for those on their phones.
First of all, stop tugging on the subwoofer cover cause that shit ain't gonna pop off. This is what the back side of the cover looks like.
1. Remove all the junk from your trunk
2. Remove all four of your tie downs. Pry up the center cover which will expose a phillips head screw. Use a good size phillips head or you'll probably strip it. I used an impact drill because lazy.
3. With the tie downs removed you can remove the entire rail simply by pulling straight up.
4. With the rails removed the entire tub and tub cover can be pulled straight up all together. Pull it up by prying slowly on each corner. There are clips here and there that you will feel release. They aren't holding it very tightly.
5. Feel accomplishment
6. Pull straight up on the entryway sill to disconnect it from its clips.
7. Remove the cover behind the rear right seat release handle by pushing that little nub down and pulling it straight out. I leave OEM plastic covers on things cause it triggers people. I hope I had an impact here.
8. Remove the two phillips screws behind the cover.
9. Remove this plastic bolt by hand before you go tugging on shit. It's at the base of the fiber board just below the handle you were just working on.
10. I found it easiest to start tugging on the top right and working inward toward the rear seats.
11. Keep tuggin
12. Now walk up front to the passenger side rear seat and remove this tiny cover. Its at the base of the seat belt. Its not really held in by much as long as you pull it straight up.
13. I didn't find it necessary to remove the cover much more than what you see here. You can push the entire thing out of your way and if you go beyond this point you'll need to disconnect the seat release cable which really isn't necessary.
15. The amp cover has 5x 10mm bolts. You'll need to remove this before you can get the sub out. But you're super smart like me and will try anyways. So skip this step and go straight to step 14 then come back to this step when you're ready.
14. Disconnect the sub cable there in white and remove its 2x 10mm nuts and 1x 10mm bolt. Wrestle with the box for 15 minutes then finally remove the amp cover already discussed.
And you're done. When you are ready to reassemble you can use this guide by scrolling back up slowly and turning bolts right rather than left.
Below are a bunch of images I figured I'd want if I were me. The sub box depth is not even on the back side so the sub dept probably cant be much more that what it is.
Label on the sub explains why I want more bass
Amp shot
Where I have decided to place a new sub, The space is about 10x13x9"
The cover has a small channel from the front bucket to back bucket just begging to have a speaker cable running through it
From the backseat facing straight back you'll see there are several grommets that would be perfect for power to be ran.
And that's it for now. I'll post when I finish the install. I figured i'd get a conversation going to see if someone had better ideas.
