I installed a JVC KW-XG700 in my 2008 Yaris S Sedan. It has 3 sets of RCA outs (front/rear/sub), front mounted AUX input plus USB.

I replaced the front speakers with JBL P663 6.5" components...

and surface mounted the tweeters on the small panels behind the rear view mirrors.

The rear speakers were upgraded to JBL P963 6x9's.

These speakers are powered by a Kicker ZX200.4 amp that was certified at 64 watts per channel. I mounted this amp to the floor under the passenger seat. In the trunk, that has been covered with FatMat...

I installed a JBL P1024 10" dual voice coil subwoofer.

The sub is powered by a Kicker ZX300.1 monoblock amp that was certified at 325 watts. This amp is mounted to the back of the sub box in the trunk.

The spare tire cover and the rear carpet mat were trimmed to clear the sub. I took the carpet mat to an auto upholstery shop and had the trimmed edge bound and sewn.

Here's the installed sub with the spare tire exposed.

I still have full access to the spare tire with my setup.

All of my components, including the HU mounting brackets, wiring harness and speaker adapters, were purchased on Ebay. I installed everything myself with some assistance from a buddy with sub and amp wiring. My total investment is $1,200. I didn't get a touchscreen because I could not justify the extra cost. I also wanted a Double DIN HU because I think they look better in a Double DIN opening. I had to have three sets of RCA outs because I knew I wanted a a 4 channel amp plus a separate amp for the sub. This JVC HU met all my needs and didn't break the bank.

The only thing this HU doesn't have that I wish it had is HD radio. There are several HD stations in my area and would love to be able to tune in.
