Where is the subwoofer on the Honda Element?

Location of the Subwoofer in the Honda Element
The subwoofer in the Honda Element is located under the dashboard. It is a factory dual voice coil subwoofer, available on the 7-speaker versions of the Element, and is a 6-3/4″, 4-ohm (2 ohms per voice coil) unit located on the floor below the center of the dash. Replacing it can be either reasonably easy or ridiculously hard, with the dividing line between the two extremes being the center console.
If you are considering an aftermarket subwoofer, it’s important to note that the mounting depth available for an aftermarket subwoofer may require modification of the OEM enclosure or the use of a product like the JBL Stealthbox. Additionally, some users have successfully replaced the factory subwoofer with aftermarket options, such as the Kicker or CDT, which have been described as drop-in replacements with minimal modifications required for installation.
In summary, the subwoofer in the Honda Element is located under the dashboard, and if you are considering an aftermarket replacement, it may require modifications to the OEM enclosure or the use of specific aftermarket products.

For car audio, heavy duty supply power for the amplifier with 100 Amps or more available, thick cables with minimum resistance, and no weak crimps or connections.
