ozman212 Posted May 6, 2016 Share Posted May 6, 2016 Hey guys, Real quick question...does anyone know if the 2016 MKZ (not the THX system) basic stereo have a subwoofer? I checked the panel in the back and it seems to just have two regular speakers installed. But I am getting a pretty good amount of bass for not having a sub, unless I do have a sub? :doh: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blumagic Posted May 18, 2016 Share Posted May 18, 2016 I have a 2016, and there is no sub-woofer... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ozman212 Posted May 18, 2016 Author Share Posted May 18, 2016 I have a 2016, and there is no sub-woofer... Thanks for the reply, so I guess there is a no go for the sub. Good thing I carry a 12" powered speaker in the trunk for when I really want to get loud. LQ1906 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LQ1906 Posted May 25, 2016 Share Posted May 25, 2016 How is the powered sub working? I also have a 2016 and it's a lease but was thinking about adding a powered sub to the trunk but wanted to know how it would sound. Was thinking about Rockford Fosgate or Infinity Basslink both on Crutchfield's for $199 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I want to over power the factory stereo system, I fold down one of the back rear seats and let her rip. It's literally too loud to listen to even half way, but its perfect for those songs that you just can't listen to at normal volume. Since the mkz has a normal 110v plug, you can pretty much connect anything in it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LQ1906 Posted May 26, 2016 Share Posted May 26, 2016 Hmm I've never heard of a powered 2 way speaker. I definitely want more volume but since it's a lease I can't change out the speakers to increase the volume. That's why I considered the powered sub. So a powered speaker increases the volume? Does it distort the speakers, I would be scared with the way that I listen to music that I would blow the speakers and they wouldn't be covered undered warranty. Also wasn't aware that the MKZ had a normal 110 volt socket. Must be behind the front seats im assuming... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ozman212 Posted May 26, 2016 Author Share Posted May 26, 2016 Yes a powered speaker increases volume by alot, but remember, you are only going to hear the music through that one speaker. But in my case, I have a 12" enclosure, so that alone is louder than all the speakers in my car altogether. I also have a lease, which is why I dont get into hard wiring anything anymore because of the hastle I used to go through in pulling everything out when I give in the lease. The 110 plug is exactly behind the center console under the rear a/c vents. I pulled up the rear seat to run my power cable and my aux cable from the trunk so it wouldnt bother anyone sitting in the back seat with any wiring. Its a great alternative for those looking to be a little loud once in a while, and for tailgate party's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
