Speakers in a Cabrio?

Where are they? All I can find is the two on the door .

Audio
smart premium radio (AM/FM, mp3-compatible 6 disc CD changer; aux input jack [radio 10])
smart sound system (2 tweeters, 2 mid range, subwoofer)

If this is standard where are they?

Sub under your seat.
Tweeters in dash top- front towards windshield.

If you stand in front of the car and look inside the bottom of the windshield, the windshield vents look a little different at the outside edges. That last inch or two is the grille cover for the tweeters. With a flashlight you might even see the bright mylar cone. The tweeters easily reflect off the windshield for direct-sounding highs without the direct-pointing speakers.

Tweeters are "stock" on the premium audio along with the subwoofer. Only the wiring is truly stock.

OK I found them. I was looking by the air vent not the defroster vent. The sub must be under the encloser under the seat.

It actually *is* the enclosure under the driving seat.

The second page of the document I put together long ago illustrates the subwoofer placement pretty well:

And I understand now: the cabrio has the premium sound system as standard equipment, not only the 2009 Smart Enuf pointed out but the configurator shows it for my 2008 as well (it looks like the 19.5 month old link is still valid!).
