    I could not be more pleased with the sound of my complete system as well as the sound of the sub.
    I had the sub enclosure made by "Mobile Fantasy" in Northridge CA for $250! (Quite a bargain as far as I'm concerned) w/o driver.
    If you are in the area, and interested in a removable enclosure like this one, they are the people to talk to! (I'm not affiliated with them in any way, just a satisfied customer)
    I spoke with "Tim" on the forum, the really helpful gentleman that also makes sub enclosures for the same price, but he opts for the right cubby hole. I decided on the left because I'll never need to go in there, but I might need to access the battery.
    I installed the rest of the system myself. Details on that here:

    Looks great. I like the angle they got on the face.

    Agree, that looks very nice. I'd want a grill over that sub though. Wouldn't want to poke something through the driver. :eek:

    The enclosure looks great. What driver did you put in it? What kind of amp are you using and where did you mount it?

    I put a 8" JL Audio Driver and a 5 Channel JL XD700/5 amp D class 700w. I couldn't be happier with the sound.

    Nice set up. What would that cost me if I had a shop install (incl the $250 enclosure)? I can't stand the jbl greenedge...

    I installed it myself, bought the amp and speakers etc from the web. All together parts were 12-1400 ( I believe) I'm not sure what a shop would charge, but whatever it is 3-500, is WORTH it! Make sure once they're done all of your bluetooth phone functions etc are all working!

    I'd suggest going to the Toyota service website subscribe for a day, and download all the pertinent pdf's that are for your car. (sorry I don't remember the url)
    I actually tapped into the JBL amp under the passenger seat. I got the signal and used that for the input on my amp that has a built in crossover.

    Yeah I did that, I think I may need to upgrade the battery.

    Is that a fiberglass enclosure, or MDF?
