What was mentioned about you having a HB is significant actually. You're going to have a nice response bump around 39-42 Hz in a Yaris given whatever enclosure. It's just how the car's resonant frequency is...

I offered Myz my DD S4b and my ML3800 (loaded in a 1.5^3 sealed enclosure). Depending on his budget, this could really take care of any issues he might have. Heck, even with stock speakers off that amp you'll be better.

I actually went to the 2011 CES convention, but I must've missed the demo of the g8. Too bad - I could've used the insight on SQ and something to measure myself to.

For what you're trying to do you have a few options :

12 inch Shallow Mount Sub
10 Inch Low Excursion Sub ( Won't require alot of airspace )
(2) 8 inch subs

I see the required RMS to be around 500 watts RMS For that type of setup.
It's also going to be more Sq and not so much Spl just because you won't be using alot of airspace. Another words it won't be as boomy, then again it is a hatch.

That guy SQ suggested will know his stuff. Lets see what he recommends.

I did actually stop by Best Buy on the way home today to check out those two 12" kicker subs in the box - it barely fits in my hatch area. I will admit I love the idea of having two 12"s, but I do use my hatch frequently. Another problem, as I mentioned to SQ, was that I want my system to be incognito when I'm not in the car. Unfortunately, the rate of stolen vehicles in Vegas is abnormally high and I don't need to give them any more reason to take my car. I am, however, open to other ideas!

Holy Hell that sub is a 15 ?

Myz thats a hell of an amp and sub. You went straight to the top with equipment like that. Hell if you don't take it i'd consider that Deal !

Yea I overlooked the 15", it's a monster! I am considering it, but as reasons posted above, I need to think it over.
