Taycan 4S Subwoofer Upgrade (Bose from Factory)

I decided that the bass provided by the Bose system wasn't sufficient. I contacted a local shop and booked an appointment for mid-September. On the morning of the appointment, the shop informed me that they didn't have the components I requested (JL Audio 6" box x 2, JL Audio 500W amp).

I went to the shop, and after exploring other options, the technician started to disassemble the car. However, after 2 hours, they mentioned they couldn't find a suitable location for a 12V power source and were hesitant to connect it to the 12V battery. After a few more hours, I left the shop without any upgrades.

I then called around and found another shop willing to perform the installation.

The new setup included 2x Gladen SQX08 subwoofers in a custom MDF box, a Gladen RC600.1 amplifier, and a Mosconi Atomo 4 to 6 DSP (not necessary, but I wanted to adjust the factory sound curve for the sub). Power was sourced from the power distribution unit at the back of the car.

This upgrade transformed the car's bass quality, and I wish the previous owner had opted for the Burmester system. I'm extremely satisfied and recommend this modification to anyone feeling that the Bose system lacks bass.

What about adding an under seat subwoofer to the existing system?

hello,

i just made the audio upgrade (it was the standard audio due to bose unavailability).

Hertz and Audisson front and rear speakers
Audisson DSP Amplifier
I have not required the subwoofer (to avoid the trunk space loss) and also because it is sufficient.
The sound is now really, really good and at the level you can expect for such a car.


Thanks to Jonathan (VSB Audio, close to Brugge) for the great job, very clean job.
He is doing a lot of Taycan for the moment.

Find were it is and replace the subwoofer speaker with a Rockford Fosgate P3SD2-8 set wired 2ohms. Its almost plug&play and will improve the bass quality a lot. I've done it in my Panamera.
Can you share more detail on what difference in sound you got from the Rockford Fosgate? Was there more bass and was louder or deeper or you could feel it in the car more...? It sounds like an easier mod to just replace that speaker (subwoofer) than to add a box and amps like others have done.
