997.2 coupe subwoofer removal for fiber filling

babyburner is infamous around these parts
I did this mod on my bimmer. It tightened up the sound a bit but not a dramatic difference.

Does anyone have the instructions to remove the Bose subwoofer on a 997.2 C4S? It appears the subwoofer is located in the rear hatch area, not the front passenger foot area.
Thank you in advance!

remove the two ducts. you will see a screw on the bottom portion. simply unscrew for both sides and pull sub woofer housing. very simple

Thanks Rick. So just to be clear, the two ducts pull straight out? And then, that will expose 2 screws?

Each duct will expose 1 screw each.

Awesome. I'm going to look at doing the Bose subwoofer mod by adding some fillers in the subwoofer chambers.

I'm hoping this will make the bass sounds more clear/dynamic

Happy holidays and thank you for the info!

Sigh...I was afraid of that.
I did this on my 997.1 where the subwoofer was located near the passenger footwell and the results were good. I'm surprised this won't work as wll for 997.2
