Added a bass tube and it’s been awesome

what brand/model is the tube & the wiring kit?

 

So there is no amp hooked up to this?

 

@Old man grit

The amp is built into the bass tube.

I had one of these types of subs before. Two obvious drawbacks are it takes up valuable space and is visible.

I now use a spare tire mounted powered sub that solves those issues.

 

Juan, What wires did you use for the speaker out, power and remote wires from your head unit? Are you still running everything else factory?

 

That looks really good I took a different option because I have my girls in softball so I did the jbl basspro hub the sub that goes into the spare tire and I love it. It’s also a powered sub and I keep all my space.

 

ahhhh bass tubes brings back memories to my first car that had two of them and I thought they were the shit! lol, they do get the job done so any bass is better than no bass imo.

 

I too am curious about the wiring.
What and how did you tap into the stereo?

I have used amp'd tubes before and like the betterment of sound they offer.
Appearance, decreased space, well "that is what it is".
Congrats, and enjoy your John Paul Jones bass lines

 

Hey Evoking, I drive a Gen 2 Prius and noticed you drive a 2010. A Gen 3 also has as an extra trunk above the spare tire. Does the JBL hub fit underneath?

Do you have it installed on top of spare tire and under the second trunk?

Or did you remove the spare tire and mounted jbl basspro hub in its place?

If so, how does it sound with second trunk on top of it? Plus do you have stuff in the second trunk and how does that sound?

 

No I didn’t remove my spare tire and also I didn’t remove the cubby above the spare tire I kept it all and the sound is amazing don’t get me wrong a box would sound better but because I need all my room because 1 kid plays softball and the other soccer I need all the room I can get. This sub sounds really good. I previously had the infinity sub the one that goes under the seat but it didn’t have the bass I wanted so I got the jbl one and love it I’ll try to post a picture or video so you guys can see it.

 

Ok guys here’s a picture of the set up I tried to do a video but didn’t know how but here is a few pictures but let me know if you have any other questions.

 

Nice! Thanks for the photo. I’m pull the trigger and pick one up. I’m go with the 8 inch Rockville Rockghost.

Do you vibrations or rattles from the trunk?

 

To tell you the truth no maybe here and there but not really but I’m in love with it.

 

Oh and by the way i recommend you buy a nylon bag and put your jack tools in it because mine use to be on top of my spare tire but now I leave them in my cubby or at home because of my sub but that’s really up to you.

 

open camera app, switch to video and press red record button.

 

Great recommendation. I was thinking about a bag for the Jack. I moved the whole unit into the cubby. It’s going to vibrate/rattle like that. What bag do you use? Pic? Or tag shopping link? Maybe I should punch in car jack bag on search.

I’m planning to wrap Jack and leave in cubby. Btw I have oil and same first aid kit. Lol
