Hi

Does anyone know where the audio amplifier is located on the R1S? I found something that looks like an amplifier where the driver side fuse box is. Additionally, looking at photos from people who replaced the sub, there is another thing near the sub that also looks like amplifier. I am no expert in this though so I can't tell which one is the actual amplifier.
My issue is that only the front dash speaker works, and I found the fuse (F11 on the passenger side) and inspected it but that wasn't the issue, so next up is to check the amplifier, perhaps someone at the factory forgot to connect a cord or something? I tried all 3 types of reset/reboot - no difference.

Thanks.

Did you find a solution? I think I am having the same issues. I installed a sub and an amp, however, I am not getting any sound from the rear speakers. Only the front speakers are working. I figured I shot something and was looking for a fuse on the amp. The sub is working fine.

Yes! In my case it turned out that the plug under the driver seat (which plugs into the amplifier) was not fully in, hence some of the pins not making contact. Just retract the driver seat back, lift up the plastic trim to access the amp and make sure the plug there is fully in.

Out of curiosity please let me know if it turned out to be the same issue for you too. For me, it's been working great ever since I fixed that.

I am just using the one that came with my R1S. It's under the driver seat (if it matters, my R1S is 05/2023 build).

Will do, hopefully that is the issue.
