Default 2019 rs3 stereo upgrade

Hi, I have a 2019 rs3 with the stock stereo and was hoping someone had a inexpensive upgrade solution that gives it more bass. I'm ok with the stock speakers but want some more bass. Thanks
John

assuming you have the 17 speaker B&O system, it's pretty simple. remove the rear deck, tap into the factory subwoofer speaker wires. run those are high level inputs to an after market amp and your own subwoofer enclosure in the trunk. the battery is already in the trunk so that part is pretty easy.

here is info and a helpful video on the process of removing the rear deck and tapping into the rear subwoofer output:

Thanks, for the response but I have the stock system non B&O any ideas? I'm happy with the speakers as I would rather hear the exhaust most of the time but would love to find a cheap bass solution. Thanks again

i’m not super familiar with the non B&O system but the formula would be generally the same. the ideal output to tap into is a factory subwoofer. if you don’t have a factory sub, then tap into the lines for the rear speakers. as a bonus, you may not have to remove the rear deck to get to these. you’ll also probably want to run a subwoofer level control to have finer grain adjustment over the subwoofer - most modern amps accommodate for this,
