What we researched for this specific generation: where an enclosure actually fits, what the factory speakers are, how the factory audio is wired, and which real builds and commercial products exist for it. Confidence badges say how well each figure is sourced — this is research, not manufacturer spec.
Body styles covered: 4-Door Subcompact Crossover
These are researched envelopes, not a guarantee. Measure your own vehicle — the numbers here tell you what to expect, not what you have.
| Location | cargo area behind the rear seat |
|---|---|
| Outer bounding box | No maker-published or independently measured cargo dimensions found (width between wheel housings, floor length, height, opening, liftover all absent from every maker document read). |
| Known obstructions | Order guide rows: "D7X Cargo storage, tray under rear floor" (standard on all four 2019 trims) and "Tire, compact spare 16" (40.6 cm), located under cargo floor" (2019 guide). |
Sizes and depths below are what research turned up for this generation. Confirm against your own vehicle before cutting or ordering — trim levels vary.
| Factory speaker size | GM's order guides give speaker counts, not sizes or positions |
|---|---|
| Adapter bracket needed | unconfirmed |
| Factory speaker size | same gap as the front doors |
|---|---|
| Adapter bracket needed | unconfirmed |
| Factory amp / premium audio | GM order guides. 2019 (published March 30, 2018; four trims Encore 1SV, Preferred 1SB, Sport Touring 1SH, Essence 1SL): "UQG Audio system feature, 6-speaker system" standard on all four; "Audio system feature, Bose premium 7-speaker system with amplifier and HD Radio" available (A) on Sport Touring and Essence, not available (--) on the two lower trims. 2016 (published October 16, 2015): "UQG ... 6-speaker system" standard on the lower trims and "--" in the last (Premium 1SN) column; "UQA Audio system feature, Bose premium 7-speaker system with amplifier" available (A); which 2016 trims get it cannot be read from that table's columns. Neither guide names a subwoofer for the Encore. Bose's own Encore page (undated) says "6 high-performance speakers"; GM's guides say seven. No wattage, speaker sizes or positions. |

| Adding subs without a head-unit swap | no vehicle-specific integration information found |
GM order guides (SPECS page, Capacities), 2016 and 2019 model years: "Cargo volume, 2nd row seats up, cu. ft." 18.8 (532.4 L) and "2nd row seats down" 48.4 (1,370.7 L), identical across trims. Unlabelled US cubic feet from a GM dealer document. A luggage rating, not a box dimension. No cargo width, length, height or opening appears; "D7X Cargo storage, tray under rear floor" is standard on every trim and "Tire, compact spare 16 in, located under cargo floor" is standard. Years 2013-2015, 2017-2018 and 2020-2022 were not read. No box made for a 2013-2022 Encore was found from the box makers checked. Measure your own cargo area before cutting wood.

Measure your own vehicle. Trim levels, factory subwoofer options, and mid-generation changes all move these numbers, and a box cut to a researched figure that does not match your truck is wasted wood. Where a badge reads Unconfirmed, treat the value as a starting point for your own measurement, not as an answer.
