You'll never get any bass out of the "sub" in the LS...it is for the ANC (active noise control) only. You have to upgrade to the Pioneer system to get an actual sub that works with music.
I guess I could buy the JL Stealth Box for $399 which is a direct fit for the sub enclosure..That should kick some great Bass with a 500 watt amp.NoobNox said:You'll never get any bass out of the "sub" in the LS...it is for the ANC (active noise control) only.

Sounds like a good plan, and probably better than the sub I have in my LT2. I don't know how much effect disabling the ANC will have on cabin noise however..Steinberger Bass Player said:I guess I could buy the JL Stealth Box for $399 which is a direct fit for the sub enclosure..That should kick some great Bass with a 500 watt amp.

This must be a common question because there is a service bulletin on itSteinberger Bass Player said:Hello..I just purchased a 2011 White AWD LS. My sub has a speaker mounted, but I can not get it to work even with Bass prominent music.
I think this is a question for the 4CYL only according to JL audio. The V6 has no problem at all. I have the 4CYL, can not open the bulletin..could you kindly email it to me?gmiemigrad said:This must be a common question because there is a service bulletin on it
See attachment - subwoofer.pd
The V6 is not available in the LS or the SLE-1, which are the models that are also restricted to the 6-speaker (no sub) system. The 1LT comes standard with the 6-speaker system, but you're forced to upgrade to the 8-speaker system if you upgrade to the V6. So, you're totally right, this issue only exists with the 4-cyl.Steinberger Bass Player said:I think this is a question for the 4CYL only according to JL audio. The V6 has no problem at all.
I would have to agree with the previous posts that this is the Active Noise Cancellation system. Good luck with the new sub! If you have any future questions or concerns, please feel free to contact me. Thank you.Steinberger Bass Player said:Hello..I just purchased a 2011 White AWD LS.

I notice that a statement was made that the "base" sound system does not have a working sub..BUT if true, why is a speaker mounted back there??
Thank you for any help..As a Bass guitar player..I need Bass!![]()
So here is what you are up against:sgoody43 said:So then let me get this straight, I have the same problem but I am not sure if I should be haveing it. My 2011 GMC Terrain SLE-2 / 2.4 has the Pioneer speaker system but I dont get any sound out of it. Shouldn't I be getting some bass, or is it also only anc.
The ordering information is confusing. The SLE-2 does indeed come with the Pioneer system with the subwoofer as standard. Had the same conversation with my dealer salesperson while he was putting the order into the system - it was not clear the difference with the SLE-2 because the radios are the same across all models - it is the speakers that are different. Where you have to look is the standard equipment. The SLE-1 comes with 6 speaker system. The SLE-2, SLT-1 and SLT-2 come with the 8 speaker system (Pioneer premium speaker system which includes subwoofer and amplifier).MOCHANOX said:Check your sticker to see if your SLE-2 was built with Pioneer.
But I think you misunderstand the website. IMHO it is NOT a standard SLE-2 feature...
