Subwoofer suggestion for liftback owners - Page 3 - Toyota Yaris Forums

Mass Destruction Napalm. Check mdcaraudio.com. They're a new company so all their stuff is on pre order. I'm expecting mine in a couple weeks now. The 12's of these have been tested up to 150 plus dbs so I'm expecting big things with two fifteens. The subs are rated at 1000wrms, 2000 peak with music, 6000wrms for competition burps. Insane!! And this is their mid level woofer lol Their better ones are expected in 2007

Ive checked the size of the flanges and box space requirments for 15's and youll be losing you back seats entirely with those... so if your going that route why not just pick up a couple 22" MTX jackhamers? And just weld up the suspension solid cause I imagine the 15's are about 60lbs and then the amps, battery and alt to run the whole works. BTW the 22" MTX subs are over 360lbs...

Oh yeah, those jhamm's are retarded. The Napalms are actually small box ( the 12's will perform in as little as 1 cu ft). I'm thinking one box for daily driving with the back seat up ( 2.7 cuft each) and a different box for competition. You know, seat down and all. All out SPL

This is a very good suggestion for a hatchback (or any vehicle for that matter) that is tight on space, such as our beloved Yarii.

A set of high quality component reference speakers up front would emphasize bass, while a set of component speakers in the rear would balance the bass with appropriate mid and highs.

It's optional whether to use components both front and rear, but if you are after perfection, I say go for it

For me, I will begin with a pair of components up front and then experiment with 2/3-ways in the rear to determine if components should also sit in the rear.

Throw in a shallow mount subwoofer like the thread author has suggested, and you are good to go.

Oh yeah, don't forget to get a HU with at least 2 pre outs, PREFERABLY three pre outs.

ALL YOUR SPEAKERS SHOULD RUN ON AMP POWER!

I have always wondered if there wouldn't be room between the front two seats where the arm rest is, maybe throw in a slim profile 8 incher. Brace it up, maybe get a custom molding for it. I think one smaller sub, 8 or 10 inches would be more than enough for a car this size. Of course, power it with an amp.
