I use to have a 2008 tacoma prerunner regular cab 4x4 which was obviously limited in space..I went to a local stereo shop and the guy custom built one 8" JL Audio sub that was placed behind my seat. This sub completely blew my mind and would set off car alarms. In my humble opinion the enclosure is just as if not more important than the sub..JL Audio is awesome too.

The proper enclosure for the sub is everything, and can make a crappy sub sound good and a great sub sound perfect. Or if it is wrong a great sub can sound like muffled garbage.

Agreed. If you are asking for a brand, i love JL audio.. pretty much there entire line, starting from the w0 or w1 (not sure of the current model) if you are trying to keep the cost low, or the w3's.. I had two 12w3's in the yaris when I first got it, way too loud for my taste but the SQ was great..

Right now i have 1 kicker CVR12 and i love it, id like a 15 to get more of the low low bass, but its been great and given me 0 problems..

I have a JL Audio 300/4 amp from another car that I have yet to put in my Yaris. Wonderful amp. They'll have to pry that amp from my cold dead hands, so to speak.
