Do I need another amp for a sub-woofer?

Correct size ported boxes, and larger sealed boxes do not need polyfil.

It's a learning process, thanks Alien, for sharing the proper information, I learn some thing new every day!

I see you have a Pioneer amp. which one is it?

Every sub-woofer box requires some kind of buffing material, most common used is Polly Fill, it's all about acoustics (in some cases a MUST) check with your woofers specs/instructions.

Ahhhh! Nope, no ducts for me! Based upon Alien's info, I'll skip the poly fill.

I used a small piece of 2x2 to level my amp. The floor under the seat is uneven.
Looks like we ran our wires the same way.
I have had no problems with my setup. The amp has plenty of space around it to breath.

I'm sure you already know this, but if you fold down one side of your 60/40 rear seat, your bass will sound much better.
I have a hatchback Yaris, so this is not an issue for me.

Here is a couple of pics of my setup:

Thanks!
Yup, that floor is something else.
Nice pics! Very clean install!
Great minds think alike! Haha! I haven't tried folding the seat down. I usually pick up my kids after school, so they are in the rear seats.
