I think the clue is in the thread title - this discussion is about the GS radio!

Really disappointing. Had decided on a new GS but was not aware the sub had been removed.

Well my 2010 GS has the sub in the boot with the Alpine audio system with bluetooth. This was standard fit not an optional extra and the sound output and bass is excellent

I had the same problem in my '12 model, so what I did was wire in a after market subwoofer. You have a few options that you can do either yourself or get professionally installed. There are a few under seat subwoofers with built in amps available or you can get a amp and subwoofer box depending on how much bass you want and how much space you are willing to give up in the rear of the car. The way to get audio to them is tap into the rear door speakers and run some wires from there to the High Input of the amp or if your amp has only RCA inputs get a High to Low converter (usually only a few bucks) and problem solved, the hardest part is running the wires from the doors and getting it to look tidy. This what I did before I changed the head unit in mine and it was a massive improvement to the sound to the standard unit. |

@Natwest, thanks for the steer to TOPIx, looks like a good source of reference material for a (soon to be) new owner like me - although I couldn't find the answer to my question. I guess I will have to wait until 23rd March and find out for myself! |

Yes.. I'm sure we could add amps and subs etc, but thats not the point... This is ment to be a face lift model, not a cost down cheap as chips.. Where has the sub gone or even the half decent speakers that were in the 09 FL?

I've just had a look at the spec sheet for the 2013 GS and there are quite a few differences. Some stuff they've taken out and other stuff they've added. I have to say that, on the whole, for me I prefer the spec of the 'old' GS.

Leather is nice of course... but Probably cheaper than all the stuff that has been stripped out.

Biggest moan at work is XS not having heated front screen as standard. User-choosers at our place can't order options so many of them who had a 12MY FL2 and ordered 13MY to replace it with ended up having a shock on the first cold morning (sorry, I meant as I'm only jealous...). |
