If you are in the U.S., your car did not come with the basic system. It would be the HiFi system.
Except it sounds like basic. I guess it lost Hi and Fi parts during transportation over the pond

I am going to buy one when it becomes available. BTW, where can I find what speakers (dimensions and ohm ratings) are installed with L7? Perhaps I can find something else that fits.

Hmmm if you've got them they should be very obvious ... it was the 2 rer door ones I was not 100% sure on. Can anybody find my post from last year which listed all the different speaker options and locations ... I can't
Russ, I am sure I don't have under seat subwoofers and rear door speakers. Whom do you think I should contact to get this issue sorted? Thanks.

If you don't have rear door speakers, then I probably got that bit wrong and they aren't in all cars. But from all the research I've done and posts that I've read here over the years, every car does have speakers under the front seats. Have a look on the floor under the seat (towards the front), you should see some metal plates with holes drilled in them. The speakers are under there. In the base system, the under floor speakers aren't wonderful though ... just switch on the music, put your head to the floor, and you should be able to make out some sound coming from that direction. If not, who to contact to get sorted - well, I guess that's just how the car came - or if you bought it 2nd hand, somebody maybe removed them before passing it on to you / the dealer. All you can do is take it to a dealer and get a price on having some fitted. But, it's probably not worth it, as they aren't that good anyway.

There have been loads of posts on this forum about speaker upgrades - search for maybe "speaker upgrade" or "stereo upgrade" and you should find loads.

you should ... count again

You most likely have the "HiFi" system;

2 in the parcel shelf in the back
4 in the front doors (2 mid, 2 tweeters near mirrors)
2 under the front seats
2 in the rear doors
Small correction, the last 2 are not in the rear door but are 2 tweeters in the parcel shelf itself. The rear door speakers only come on the Logic 7 or the Individual Systems.
