Abstract
A vehicle includes a body structure having a first structural component and a second structural component spaced apart to define a space. A structural subwoofer is disposed in the space and includes a case formed of a material having a high modulus of elasticity. The case has a first attachment connected to the first component and a second attachment connected to the second component to form a structural bridge spanning between the components and defining a load path from the first component, through the case, and into the second component.
