FINALLY installed my amp\sub

[jdubau55]

I wish I could get it firing towards the rear. Unfortunently it is too tall to sit up with the rear cargo cover on. I want to keep it on there to keep the sub out of view of prying eyes. I may just put it so the fat end is towards the seat so it at least tilts towards the rear. The amp is not screwed down, but is velcro'd. It would take a lot of braking g's to break the shear force of the velcro. Its plenty secure I made sure of that. I think I may move the sub more towards the center and facing more rearward. Due to the hatch design I could almost tell where the sub was in the rear, which I don't like at all. A custom box would be ideal but I don't have the $ for that nor the proper tools to make a decent one.

I have the non split seat. So maybe you have the split one. The rear floor has the "Yaris" cargo mat in it that some don't. It's just a big piece of carpet.

Too bad- it might be louder firing toward the rear.

It isn't the braking force you need to be worry about- it's the accident force... A sub box in the back of the head would kill you. Also, bolting it down makes it harder to steal.

I know custom boxes are expensive, but when you can afford it, try to find a "wedge" shaped box meant for hatchbacks. Some car audio stores carry premade ones just for hatches. Obviously, you'ld have to measure the height.
