Truck girl’s first 4runner! Subwoofer on different cargo area sides in different trims?

[Mia]

Wanna buy my first 4runner soon but while watching some YouTube videos I figured the subwoofer in the cargo area is sometimes on the left side and sometimes on the right side. Does anyone know why this happens? Thanks!

from your pics the top one has a sub, the bottom one you cant tell since you dont show the whole right side.

the left side panel is where the battery is located on hybrids i think

also if you have an onboard compressor, the right wheel hump has a cutoff for it and the sub is always located on the right side behind the speaker grille

here is a better breakout of the cargo area configurations you can have in the 4R in pics

the sub will always be on the passenger side no matter what. the grille will always be there, but it may not be filled in by a sub unless you have the jbl systems installed (i think)

1st pic shows the hybrid, the left side cubby hole holds the wheel jack (and/or 12v battery) and the grille on the right
2nd pic shows non hybrid but the cubby hole has moved to the floor panel but grille on the right
3rd pic shows the on board air compressor installed but also the grille is on the right
