On a serious note why don't you put your ear to it and tell us what you hear/feel.

I don't hear any sound coming out of it and I can't see anything through the grill. Is it a woofer? Is it a regular speaker?? I'm supposed to have an "8 speaker soundsystem" so if that's a speaker, don't I really have 9 speakers??

Is it really that hard to give somebody a straight answer?
From my understanding, if you have the premium sound package then that center console is both a speaker and a vent, just with one cover for styling. But if you dont have the premium sound then there is only a vent underneath.

Come to think of it, I have the HK audio system, how many speakers am I supposed to have? The brochure says 12 speakers. I've counted only 11.
1 Center Fill Speaker
1x2 Tweeters On the front Doors (high range)
2x2 Additional Speakers on Front doors (midrange)
1x2 One speaker each on the rear doors (midrange)
2 Rear shelf speakers (1 subwoofer and one other speaker, I assume, not sure about this one).
I think I'm missing one speaker.

I think this is how it's supposed to be. I'm not sure since I've never looked behind the door speaker grill.
1 center fill
2 tweeters
4 mids (doors)
4 woofers (doors)
1 Subwoofer (rear deck)
That's right, there's only one sub. If you look underneath your rear deck you'll see that the passenger side of the deck has some type of passive device.

Ahh, that would make sense. Yea, those doors must have some small subwoofers in them, they vibrate excessively.
I believe you're right about that rear shelf only having one subwoofer, since I looked unerneath once and couldn't see very much on one side in particular.
Thanks again. Very good observation.

hrm.... what's this? Are you saying it's possible to change the premium sound system between stereo and surround??? I've never seen such an option.

I meant something that had lower frequencies coming out of it. Seems more sub than mid. I know that there's a big midwoofer in there already.
By the way, you're quite the lexicographer, I'm already using your new word.

i have the 2006 h/k system... either im starting to blow my speakers, or its just the normal sound... they dont sound crisp... or is that just how they come? and i hear a ticking sound out of the front passenger... i think im just going to tell them to look in about 3700 miles (service a) or should i go earlier?

Can't take credit for that. You better start hanging out on some AV and/or HT forums for accepted terminologies regarding low frequency drivers. A hint; BOSE subwoofer is considered an oxymoron.

I might give that a shot, don't have any problems with my sound system however, just planning to bring it into the dealership to have them tighten the bolts back there to the rattling subwoofer.
Other than that, my audio system is just fine. I don't mind if I'm a tad bit ignorant about it either.

Yea, every single time I scroll through my Trip Computer display, I always see that No Phone thing. Really pisses me off.
I hear that we can now get the voice command system and then plug in this bluetooth "hockey puck" type thing and it will work witha ll bluetooth compatible phones. Probably isn't worth the $1000 and the extra phone bills to do this though. Besides, I don't talk on the phone that much anyways.
