SoonishEV Subwoofer Adapter & Wiring for Gen 1 & 2 Rivian R1S

Subwoofer Installation Kit for Rivian R1S

The Tubthumper - this time for the R1S! 

As car guys who like nice sounding audio, we wanted to find ways to improve the audio quality of our Rivians.

After some finagling, we've come up with this kit for installing an upgraded subwoofer in the R1S.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Your R1S MUST have a subwoofer for this kit to work. This means "Meridian" or "Rivian Premium Audio". If you have just the stock audio system, it lacks the needed outputs and wiring for this kit to be installed.

With our kit, you end up turning DOWN the bass in the software-controlled EQ, which allows the speakers in your doors to focus just on the mids and highs, and lets the New & Improved subwoofer handle the rest.

This complete wiring and installation kit integrates seamlessly with your vehicle's OEM system—no cutting or splicing required.
