Exactly - ignorance is bliss especially if you never sit in the back seats. I really want Tesla to fix this ASAP!I'm willing to bet this is more widespread but most will think it's fine since the door subs do such a great job. Everyone saying this isn't happening to them, put on a song with some heavy low frequencies and move the balance to just the rear. Are the mids firing on the shelf and nothing, literally nothing coming from the trunk?

Perception of sound quality is not a simple topic and is not readily repeatable from session to session. I'm not convinced that this is a real issue yet. I'm not ignorant but I am skeptical.

With Balance in Center you should hear plenty of bass from the Mid Bass Drivers and the Sub in any seat (front or rear).
Nope, just did this now and even when the balance is set in the middle (white circle) and opened the trunk there is no sub bass. Zero. I'm playing songs that used to rattle my entire car, now the mirrors don't even shake. They changed the EQ settings and aren't feeding as much power to the sub is my guess.
Here is a great example. At 20 seconds in the bass hits. This used to be so thick in my car my wife was uncomfortable. Now it literally doesn't even shake the rear-view mirror when turned up all the way. T
I think there are two issueshere. The first is a possible eq or power bug/change that doesn't let the sub play at all or at extremely low volumes.
The second is how quiet is quiet to each individual. As a driver who had two 12in subs in their last vehicle, the sub in this car simply does not produce notes below 50hz at any acceptable level due to the rolloff. This will be personal preference. A 8in sub physically cannot produce notes down to 30hz. Period. It's a law of physics. There are probably ways to get there, but not with somethingthat will fit in your car and be at a reasonable volume.
I already talked to someone who will install a 12in sub attached to an OEM cleaner/dsp box like the Rockford fosgate 360.3. I'll report back when this is installed.
What I'm starting to realize is that people get really, really defensive when discussing the bass in audio systems. There is some misconception that if you get a powerful sub that you'll be that guy shaking the neighborhood. In reality, you are simply playing the entire frequency range of songs without a rolloff/loss of volume as it gets lower. And yeah, if you aren't listening to rap, edm or metal, there probably isnt a reason to care as much as people who do, but you literally will not be reproducing certain aspects of the song.
^^^THIS. I've said the same thing multiple times now in this ginormous thread. People are spending way too much time trying to diagnose the bug. You either have it or dont. Enya has enough bass/low freq for me to know that the sub is not working, or the amp isnt sending lower frequencies. Still no response from Tesla, but I do have an upcoming appointment.I don't need to run a tone generator to know something is broken here. I have a SC appointment in 3 weeks for this and a few other issues.
I can tell you 100% that you aren't dealing with the loss of bass bug, which is what this thread is trying to focus on.Is this a discussion on a custom install or getting to the bottom of why some people think they have SUDDENLY lost a lot of bass due to an update or whatever.
The only "bug" I see is the balance control sucks the bass away from the mid drivers and it should not. But who cares. And for that reason using the balance control to test anything (other than this bug) is gonna be very misleading...
Surprised the door woofers don’t cross over significantly higher than 80hz. That’s very low for (non-sub) woofer
Car is in the shop to fix tint but I'll probably end up testing it, unless I actually get them to install the aftermarket stuff while it's still there.Is this a discussion on a custom install or getting to the bottom of why some people think they have SUDDENLY lost a lot of bass due to an update or whatever.

The sub most certainly outputs below 50hz. It starts to roll off around 30hz.
Before you do anything I think you should get a base line if your system is working as designed or not. If you were never happy with the sound then go for it. But that should be separate topic.
I would be curious if you followed through with your saying you'd try a similar test with a tone generator to see if your setup if functioning the same. I'd certainly do that before throwing money at it.
