Default How do i find out if my 2005 Chevy Equinox LT has a factory subwoofer

I just got a 2005 chevy equinox lt and the factory stereo the cd player is broke so I am only able to listen to radio. I want to replace the stereo but i'm having trouble finding out which installation kit i need to get. it has the stereo controls on the steering wheel. can anyone help me? trying to get the correct answer so when i take the dash apart to put in an after market (kenwood) head unit i don't have to find out i got the wrong things

The LT does not have a factory sub. I recently replaced my head unit with a Chinese android system- Joying. Not very expensive but more important plug and play. Didn’t have to buy any harness and still retained all functions

Thank you. I'm going with a JVC unit and harness from Crutchfield.com

This isn't true. Any trim level could be equipped with the factory subwoofer because the premium audio system was available as a separate option. The easiest way to tell if your Equinox has it is to look for a round speaker opening in the right panel of the cargo area.

Riley is correct, it was optional in all three trims. Best of luck with the installation
