This is what we found when we did the tear down of the SL65. The subwoofer system is a Bose product, I am guessing a 6.5" or 8" driver is in this sub enclosure. We didn't open it up since, I'm keeping it if I ever need to go back to stock. It is located in the passenger footwell...





My installer replaced it with a custom fiberglass/bondo/MDF enclosure containing polyfill and set with a JL 13W5...
