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 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 | right rear side panel (factory location) or spare tire well |
|---|---|
| Outer bounding box | Factory box ~8.2L (~0.29 ft3); max mounting depth ~6" |
| Known obstructions | Hard size ceiling — no room for a 10" driver in this generation's standard cargo location, unlike most SUVs |
| Usable volume estimate | 0.29 ft³ |
Suggested configurations for this vehicle, not prescriptions. Run the numbers in the Box Builder before you buy anything.
| Subwoofers | 1x8" factory-location upgrade, ~0.29-0.5 ft3 |
|---|---|
| Box type | sealed |
| Location | right rear side panel, factory location — max 8", max 6" depth |
| Subwoofers | 1x8" or larger, spare-tire-well location (spare tire sacrificed) |
|---|---|
| Box type | sealed |
| Location | spare tire well — only if giving up the spare |
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 | unconfirmed exact size — real confirmed location is the front sail panel, not a traditional door mount; ~1-1/2" tweeter secured to the sail panel separately |
|---|---|
| Known obstructions | Speaker location itself (sail panel vs. door) may differ from most other vehicles — verify before assuming a standard door swap |
| Adapter bracket needed | unconfirmed |
| Tweeter | Sail-panel-mounted (not dash, not A-pillar proper, not in the door itself) — real, confirmed ~1-1/2" tweeter secured to the sail panel separately from the main door/window speaker. |
| Factory speaker size | unconfirmed |
|---|---|
| Adapter bracket needed | unconfirmed |
| Tweeter | n/a — tweeter is sail-panel mounted, front only |
| Factory amp / premium audio | 8" dual-voice-coil factory subwoofer confirmed on upgraded audio package trims, right rear side panel |
|---|---|
| Adding subs without a head-unit swap | Confirmed straightforward via the factory location, but genuinely size-constrained — see the 6"/8" max hard limit above |
| Head unit | No replacement needed |
Real cargo space: 40"W x 16"H x 23"/33"D. Factory subwoofer (upgraded audio package): 8" dual 2-ohm voice coil, right rear side panel, real measured factory box volume ~8.2L (~0.29 ft3) — a genuinely tiny factory enclosure. REAL HARD CONSTRAINT worth surfacing prominently: max mounting depth is only ~6", and max practical sub size is 8" — there is NOT enough room for a 10" driver in the standard cargo area on this generation. The spare tire well is flagged as a real alternative location, but only if the owner is willing to give up the spare tire entirely — a genuine tradeoff, not a free upgrade.
Outside links. Some are commercial products, some are owner builds posted on forums — the label says which. We do not endorse any of them.
Each link opens the tool with this vehicle already selected.
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.
