Season’s Greetings Everyone!
I just picked up an early Christmas present for my family; a snow white Laredo J It’s got the E group (power driver’s seat) and Uconnect.
I want to upgrade the speakers and add a compact powered subwoofer. I have some questions as I’ve never worked on an audio sound system before and could use some advice to build my confidence. My wife is not happy about tearing apart our brand new GC, but I told her WE can do this!

- What’s the level of effort taking off the door panels?
- Are speaker mounting hole patterns standard? I mean, it’s a simple take out the old and put in the new, right?
- Where would be a good location for the powered subwoofer? 9.5 W, 3.5 H, 14 D. There looks to be enough room maybe under one of the front seats (haven’t measured). I don’t think under the rear seats is an option as it appears they lower too far when folded.
- The subwoofer connects to the battery, I take it the battery under the passenger seat, and not the posts in the engine compartment?
- Where do I actually make the connection for the subwoofer to the audio system? Do I need to connect to the head unit?
