Hello; had to trade my 09 Infiniti G37x for a 2018 Rogue SL. Intake valve stuck, maybe tranny issues... Anyway does anyone have a speaker location for the Rogue SL with Bose? The manual and online says 9 speakers, but i count 8... 5 in the front, 2 in the rear doors, and one subwoofer on top of the spare tire which makes 8. Where is the 9th or are there 2 units in the subwoofer housing? i may replace the front door speakers so i am curious for wiring purposes also.
thanks!

The WD only shows 8. The woofer does have a dual power-driver but only one compound tympanum, so I don't think you can really count it as two. Maybe they meant 9-channel, that would be accurate. Wouldn't be the first time the marketing materials didn't quite match the hardware.

Bose Sound System or not?

For the 2nd gen Rogue, the standard audio comes with 6 speakers, while the premium comes with 8 speakers and a woofer in the spare wheel. Remove the cover over the spare tire and you'll find the subwoofer, as it holds the spare in place.

The WD still shows only 8:
1 - Dash center
2 - Tweeter RH/LH
2 - Front door RH/LH
2 - Rear Door RH/LH
1 - Subwoofer
8 - Total
So unless they're counting the compound-cone subwoofer as 2 speakers, it's a mis-count.

You are correct. IIRC, the upgraded BOSE system on the 2nd gen's was supposed to have TWO subwoofers. Somewhere along the line that never happened and the printed info was never completely corrected.
