Overview - Sound System With Subwoofer

NOTE:

The front speaker system is a 2-way system in connection with all Radios/RNS -RX1-. The bass speakers are in the front doors. The treble speakers are in the instrument panel.

The rear doors have either a bass speaker installed or a 2-way system with a bass speaker and a treble speaker, depending on the vehicle equipment level.

There may be a subwoofer inside the luggage compartment under the rear self, depending on the vehicle equipment level.

All speakers are passive speakers.

NOTE:

Familiarity with the function and operation is needed if there are customer concerns.
