Cybertruck has dual 8" subwoofers! 🔊 🔊

Looks like Cybertruck will have a killer sound system. Dual subwoofers! Nice!

Elon replies: "You can play Cyberpunk, Elden Ring and 1000s of other games in your *car* with an epic sound system!!"

Heck yeah!! A good sound system is important for me.

Thought this had been obvious for a long time?
as in, not “hiding” in plain sight

My son who is an ICE only fanatic made a good joke when I showed him this.

"That's the only good sounds that will come out of that truck".

Proof those are subwoofers?

The shape looks like subwoofers, plus the original post Elon replied to. If the 8" subwoofers comment was false, I am sure Elon would not have replied the way he did.

Advantage truck, for carrying woofers at any rate.

It's great to know that the CT will have great sound but my current cars, 3, Y, and S, already have great sound system. I am not surprised.

It isn't clear anywhere in the referenced tweets that there are two subwoofers. He was quoting a tweet from Elon dated December 2022. I don't have a strong technical background in the area but given the nature of bass frequencies and the sonic range that sub-woofers play in why would there be a need to have 2 woofers - I've never seen a vehicle with a high-end sound system have more than 1. Additionally, unlike mid-speakers and tweeters, the sub doesn't necessarily have to point directly at the listeners to be effective.

Here is a Model 3 subwoofer, looks similar, IMHO,. https://www.ebay.com/itm/364218130591

Elon tweeted or said in an interview a very long time ago that it would have dual subs. So this is more confirmation that it hasn't changed.

The Tesla farts are going to be AMAZING coming out of those woofers!

The nature of sub-woofers is they are additive because they are wired in phase with one another. So, Tesla could use one bigger sub-woofer or two smaller ones to achieve the same thing. Or, they could have cheaped out and used one smaller one, but the Cybertruck cabin is actually too big for one 8" sub to provide the desired punch. It's just the way Tesla rolls, they are not out to pick your wallet by making you upgrade to a $5,000 "technology package" just to get the sound the truck should come with to begin with, they include premium sound for everyone.

Plus, with two subs instead of one, Tesla can buy in higher volumes.
