I have a 2017 Raptor 425 TS and I can't seam to track down the subwoofer. soundbar has wires running to the subwoofer output.Wires run in behind the wall so i can't just follow wires to sub. sound bar also will not play tv audio. I'm pretty sure soundbar is junk its a "connexx" brand. Any help on tracking down subwoofer would be great. Thanks!

Mine is under/behind the steps. You can access it through the panel in the basement. Mine is a Samsung and I'm not sure if the TV is connected or not, the DVD is though. I have a note as to which input is what since I mostly listen to music.

If you find it post its location to help others. There have been several threads about "missing speakers/subwoofers" since they started using soundbar/subwoofer combos. I think I might have gotten one of the first model years and it took probably 10 techs and a call to Keystone to figure it all out.

In my Alpine. The subwoofer was in behind the fireplace . Have a look there as well . Assuming your model has a fireplace.

Can you crank some bass and kill the treble to help locate it?

:cool::cool:Naw it won't crank no bass at all.....The sound bar that came with it is crap. Maybe Keystone 's tech support will be able to help..
Sounds like that was a high profile rubber chicken!!!!!

Not loving the sound bar either. I'd take a Jensen any day plus a real outside radio antenna. Starting to think about using an automotive radio.

The sub on my raptor 398 was behind a panel to the left of my fireplace at floor level. Its a wooden panel that is held on by 4 screws under wood plugs. I cant even hear mine and I agree the sound bar is not very good. I'm going to put another vizio sound bar in front with sub just like I did in garage so that I can stream music from my phone. The stock set up is not very good but I at least want some kind of radio that plays through the 4 sets of speakers on TH.

Go to the top of any of the website (not TapaTalk) pages there is a dark bar. On the left side is a link to UserCP. When you click on it you will have lots of options down the left hand side. One of those is the Signature. Adding this information helps others identify your model and where you are from, etc. Good luck. Remember, you are only new once.
Also there is a sticky on the New Users page that helps with a lot of the questions you either have or will have. It is a great resource.

Go to your User CP . Then go to settings and options , then go to edit signature . Plug in your information and save .

Hmmm, I don't know what Keystone is doing now. I got a Sony automotive detachable face head unit, Sony speakers in the garage and outside, Samsung sound bar in the living area and I don't remember the sub, but it's all good. If you really crank it it gets distorted but at that volume your neighbors would probably not be too happy with it or you. :cool:
Not sure where else to tell you to look for the sub. Keep poking around, it'll turn up someplace weird.

No I didn't find it and said the heck with it. Dealer is gonna warranty the sound bar. Lol.....But yes let the upgrade begin I called a local Home Theater installer and will have him on it in no time! But when he does locate sub i will be sure to let everyone know . Thanks!

I've been wanting to add a soundbar since I got my 398 so I just went and got another vizio 2.1 soundbar and sub today like I have added in the garage. i like it for what it is.thats really all I have bought in past for soundbar is vizio. In going to add another plug I think to make the sub be more stealthy. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20170425/871a4cd2f849f92f1f101d90a45c201e.jpg

Does the 2017 412TS have a subwoofer?
We have the soundbar/radio under the Sony TV.

I would have to say yes you have a subwoofer in your 412ts. Look on the back of your sound bar and see where your sub woofer speaker wires go. I did not think I had one till I was just opening panels up to see how things were done. Mine did nothing. I do like the Sony TV in my TH.

n case you still haven't found your woofer....I have a 2016 Fuzion 416. I didn't even know I had a subwoofer until I needed to check my water pump located behind my water inlet Panel.
I included 2 pics. One is a view through the storage. I removed the white angled plastic wall to the left of the far exit. I found my h20 pump, h20 heater and voila! There was a subwoofer! Bolted to the floor.

That is really a bizarre place for it! But I must admit, this is the first evidence I've visually seen that the mythical subwoofer actual exists!!!
Mine is in the basement storage behind the panel near the water pump and water heater also. Actually found mine by "accident" as there is no wire from soundbar to subwoofer. They connect together via Bluetooth and as I learned it has to be relinked every time the power is restored to them.

On my Raptor 2017 425TS one of my outdoor speakers wasn't working, found the problem behind the soundbar and also notice speakers wires connected to the sub output. All cool I thought but can't find it, never thought to look in the under belly for it.

After reading all these posts, Think we need to start a Raptor "Where is your Woofer " contest. Used to be easy, it was part of the entertainment center. Then came the fireplace :facepalm: I see the Fuzion now also has this disease. As new models come out this will continue to be an ongoing question ....:popcorn:
Have to admit I like the WH location, seems like a logical place :eek: Future posts "booming sound coming from the WH :banghead:

I'll need to look in the storage area under our Raptor and check.
I certainly don't hear it when music or movies are playing.

Mike, it's not very over powering, but it's there non the less. Mine is under the steps, behind the furnace, behind the wall in the basement.

On my Fuzion...The real kicker (get it? Subwoofer/kicker) was that when the bolted it to the floor on top of the gray or black water valve cable. You know the one about 6 ft long you pull to empty the tank. You can see on the lower left side of the woofer. Once you find your woofer you might see if it's plugged in. Mine had its own elec outlet next to the furnace.

On my '16 Fuzion 420 it was hidden by the water pump behind the access panel in the basement storage exactly as pics earlier of the 416 show (and that Lonewolftx had pointed me towards in the past). I just relocated it this weekend as was in there to fix my water Fill valve from leaking city water when hooked up into the holding tank and overfilling it (I have another post on this).
Getting the sub AC cord out is the hardest as need to remove all the other carpeted panels on that side of the basement wall including the one the InCommand is connected too (it will just swing out to side without disconnecting anything from it). Its really not hard just was hoping easier access to the AC outlet. The outlet strip it is plugged into is behind the InCommand system off to the right fairly deep in there and is in a blind spot so just follow the cord. A little off topic but while in there I unplugged it and plugged in an extension cord in its place I will use for another purpose as there are no other empty outlets anywhere in the basement or even the front. There is an outlet towards the center of the basement for the fridge inverter which I had never seen as it is also in a blind spot, but I prefer not to put a power strip off of it.
I relocated the subwoofer behind the sofa next to refrigerator in the "corner" without unscrewing the sofa. I could angle my sofa just enough and recline it to lower the back so could just barely reach the AC outlet on the floor mounted to the wall that divides it from the fridge but was a PITA. Plug in other end to sub as you don't want to lose it. Test the sub to make sure it is sync'd with the soundbar and working properly before dropping it in as mine was not and created some additional hassles. There was room to just drop it down by pulling on the couch to create separation from the wall. The soundbar alone is horrible but now is not that bad as the sub seems to fill in the mids and lows well and even has a decent thump in the corner.

Holy cow! Thanks!
That's stupid tho. I come from a 12volt audio background. Bass is non-directional and travels far. But there's two issues here....or three. One is that the sub in that spot is too far from usefulness and to me is more along the kitchen, bath area of this particular coach setup. Two is that the sub in this Soundbar setup does not have the balls to give you any entertaining feeling of a home theatre setup. And Three, these soundbars are notorious for becoming unpaired with the sub and you have to access both the sub and soundbar to push the pair button.
The third was my issue since we bought it. It was unpaired and needed reset. I thought the prior owner kept it or Keystone kept it because they could not find a mounting location.
I replaced the soundbar which is a 2014/2015 model in my 2016 Fuzion. It was an outdated Dolby 2.1 type. The new one I got from Open Box at Best Buy is the same but newer model. 3.1 type. Has an actual center channel. And a functional sub. Lol
I ran and hid an extension cord. Placed the new sub behind the couch. And the new one I can add the wireless rear surround and make it a true 5.1 type.
Sounds way better now!
I am going to pull the old sub. So thanks for the direction! Use it for the garage in my future upgrade project in there

Not to drag this off topic, but while in there removing it might consider doing the water pump noise reduction kit and in the place of the sub a 4 gallon pressurized tank usually used in reverse osmosis system works nice to provide 30+ seconds of water without water pump on and saves your pump long term ... I will do separate post on this when all done in couple weeks.

Is this noise reduction kit a set up you can buy or something you rigged up ? thanks
