That speaker facing down is a subwoofer believe it or not. Honestly I didn't notice a really massive difference in sound. THe 15-inch does seem a little louder, but then the speakers might be spaced a bit further out and I believe they are more under the keyboard on the 13- inch. However, I purchased the 15-inch not for sound, but difference in processor performance etc. Btw, can you tell me where the ram is on the MBP once you remove the bottom cover? I haven't poked about in a laptop much and might just be missing it. I'm pretty sure they are generally laid out the same.
