I have had my '22 Hybrid for almost a month now and my kids kept complaining about how weak the rear speakers were when we had music playing. Often asking me "turn it up" and "we can barely hear it." I didn't give it much thought until today when I was parked waiting to pick them up from school I decided to only use the rear speakers to listen to music. All I can say is, wow. I could not believe how much weaker they were than the front. I had the volume up to 35 and they sounded as loud as the fronts on 10, maybe even less. I put my ears up to the speakers to see if they were even working and they were emitting sound but I would say about 65% less power than the front speakers.
I do not use quiet mode but I did check that. It was off. Besides that actually turns the rear speakers off completely and this wasn't the issue I was having.
Before I take this to the dealership to complain, I wanted to ask if anyone else with the same sound system can confirm the same weak rear speaker behaviour as mine. If this is by design, Bose should be ashamed putting their name on this. I really hope this is just an issue that can be fixed. I would like equally balanced sound in the rear seats as well as the front especially considering this is the premium sound system.
Any input would be greatly appreciated.
