Where is the subwoofer in the 2017 Acura MDX?

Factory subwoofer location
The factory subwoofer in the 2017 Acura MDX is located in the rear cargo area, mounted on the rear cargo panel behind the rear seats. The subwoofer is integrated into the factory audio system and amplifier.
Replacing the factory subwoofer
Some owners have reported replacing the factory subwoofer with an aftermarket subwoofer. This typically requires removing the rear cargo panel to access the factory subwoofer location. Several shallow mount aftermarket subwoofers have been reported to fit in the factory subwoofer location, including the Rockford Fosgate P3SD2-8, Kicker CompRT 43CWRT81, and Pioneer TS-A2000LD2. The maximum depth recommended for a replacement subwoofer is about 2.5 inches.
Some things to keep in mind when replacing the factory subwoofer include upgrading the factory amplifier to power a more capable aftermarket subwoofer. The factory amplifier is usually not powerful enough on its own. You may also need to modify the rear cargo panel opening slightly for a deeper subwoofer enclosure.
If you have any other specific questions about replacing the subwoofer, please let me know. I hope this information helps provide an overview of the factory subwoofer location and considerations for an upgrade. Let me know if you need any clarification or have additional questions.
