Hi all,
I just got my 2021 Model 3 AWD LR not long ago and it's an awesome car. My only complaint right now is that the lower frequencies of the songs I listen to aren't very loud/audible, even after boosting the lows in the EQs. I don't feel like I'm getting an accurate playback of any song that is bass-heavy, so basically any hip-hop or EDM song.
I can confirm that all my speakers are plugged in. I found that the subwoofer is actually decently loud when you're in the trunk, but not much of that noise reaches the front of the cabin. I especially cannot hear it while I'm driving; I guess road noises drowns out the sound of the subwoofer. Even when I put the seats down, the subwoofer volume still isn't quite there for me.
My old car also had an 8" subwoofer like my Model 3, except my old car had it installed in the rear deck instead of the trunk. It completely satisfied my need for bass, so I don't think that subwoofer size or frequency range is the issue that I have currently: just volume due to how far the sub is from the driver's seat. However, I've read on these forums that someone used an LC2i to boost the frequencies that are not normally covered in the OEM subwoofer and that solved their problem.
I've been hesitant to install an aftermarket subwoofer because I enjoy the trunk space that I have currently. It'd be great if someone had any insight on how I could install at least an 8" subwoofer into the same spot that the OEM one is, and possibly in the OEM's box as well. I don't mind replacing the amp if I have to.
I've also heard of some folks getting more bass from Lithium batteries, specifically from Ohmmu? Seems kinda unbelievable and I want to hear it with my own ears before trying that out, but I would love to hear your anecdotes/research regarding this if this is something that you have experience with.
Anyways, I introduced a lot here and we can keep this discussion open-ended about the subwoofer, but I'm mainly just looking to see if I can increase the volume of the OEM subwoofer/lower frequencies in general so that I can get a more accurate playback of songs I listen to. Maybe replacing the OEM sub amp might fix this issue?
Thanks for reading and I am looking forward to your posts
