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 SUV
These are researched envelopes, not a guarantee. Measure your own vehicle — the numbers here tell you what to expect, not what you have.
| Location | side cargo panel (zero floor-space loss) |
|---|---|
| Outer bounding box | Sized for 8" or 10" driver, 6" mounting depth — product dimension used as proxy for cavity, full outer envelope not independently measured |
| Known obstructions | Community strongly favors this space-preserving location over cargo-floor builds on this platform |
| Usable volume estimate | 0.75 ft³ |
Suggested configurations for this vehicle, not prescriptions. Run the numbers in the Box Builder before you buy anything.
| Subwoofers | 1x8" or 1x10" sealed, 0.75 ft3 |
|---|---|
| Box type | sealed |
| Location | side cargo panel, zero floor space lost |
| Subwoofers | 1x10" or 1x12" custom fiberglass stealth build |
|---|---|
| Box type | sealed |
| Location | cargo floor, stealth design |
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 | 6-3/4", 4-ohm (standard trims) or 8", 2-ohm (Bose-equipped trims) — real, confirmed trim-dependent size difference |
|---|---|
| Known obstructions | Bose trims need a genuinely different-size replacement than standard trims — verify which system before recommending |
| Adapter bracket needed | unconfirmed |
| Tweeter | Dash corner, underneath grilles on the far left and right sides of the dash (near where the A-pillar meets the dash) — Bose-equipped trims only. Real, important access caution: replacing this tweeter requires removing BOTH the A-pillar trim AND the top dash panel, a genuinely more involved job than a simple A-pillar-pop-off. |
| Factory speaker size | 5.25"-6.75" range depending on year/equipment |
|---|---|
| Adapter bracket needed | unconfirmed |
| Tweeter | n/a — tweeter is dash-corner, front only |
| Factory amp / premium audio | Real, trim-gated, per-badge finding. Bose premium audio confirmed on TrailBlazer LS/LTZ trims (2002-2006) and GMC Envoy SLT (2003-2006) — genuine year-limited data, not confirmed to extend through this entry's full 2009 end date. Same low-impedance (1-2 ohm) Bose speaker caution documented on other vehicles covered here's GM-era Bose systems (see Blazer companion entry) — factory amp integration needs to account for this, not just speaker size. |
|---|---|
| Adding subs without a head-unit swap | though the era (pre-touchscreen) suggests it's likely straightforward |
| Head unit | No replacement needed |
Real commercial product: single sub box for side cargo, fits 8" or 10", 0.75 ft3 air space, 6" mounting depth. Community consensus (active forum at forums.trailvoy.com) strongly favors space-preserving stealth builds — owners repeatedly emphasize not wanting to sacrifice cargo room, more so than on the bigger full-size SUVs. Most shallow-mount subs on this platform run ~1 ft3 or less sealed.
Outside links. Some are commercial products, some are owner builds posted on forums — the label says which. We do not endorse any of them.

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.
