2- JL Audio M12IB6 Subwoofers--2016 G23

I ordered my boat with the base system with just one subwoofer. I think you may be looking at the back of the box. Go to the bow, remove the backrest in the bow area in front of the driver, and see if you see the hole for the subwoofer.

Removing the backrest won't give me a much better view. In the picture, the small white things poking out of the fiberglass are the inserts holding the backrest from the bow in place. I am pretty sure that removing the backrest will only get me a better view of the back side of the keypad, screen, steering wheel and sloped area where the driver's feet generally rest. I reached down in there, and there is nothing underneath that sloped area, unless it is way down close to the floor. I could just feel straight fiberglass there.

Where I drew the imaginary speaker above is essentially the exact location that the speaker is on the other side. If anyone had a picture of that second sub for the starboard side, it would make me happy as a clam.

Does the second sub fire forward towards the bow?

FWIW, here is what the shell of my 2015 looked like. I think the 16 likely looks identical, except for the bottom hull tweaks.

I have a 16 with the studio M sound system. The sub is mounted all the way to the right of where you have the red circle.

Thank you! I will peek my head in there again and see if the base system does come with a drilled hole, but I don't think so. I will especially look all the way toward the hull.

I think I can get a rotozip in there through the seat back, and it has a circle cutting attachment that will make it a job that is doable.

Thank you Texoma.

The hole is definitely not predrilled. I am not looking forward to jamming my head in there, but with a respirator, the right power tool and a good strong arm, anything is possible. Here is what mine looks like right now.
