Advice on purchasing amp + sub(s) - Toyota Yaris Forums

Hey Mystik, If it helps Ive upgraded the system... well actually took everything out and gave it to some kids. Got new radio, amp. and speakers of at crutchfield; i mean, you can't really beat their prices, even with shipping included,
I can say my set up, is pretty low key nothing crazy, BUT with a mean punch, sound is sublime and very clean, from other set-ups I heard out there.
I've installed the 10" sub and small case, takes bout 2/3d's of space, had to cut and modify the flap in back cause box was a tad too high. and can take up around 250 W rms, If I remember corectly its an Energy

radio is a Sony DSX-S310BTX ( has remote Subwoofer and amp controls in it Perfect)
The amp is an MTX TD500.1D Mono subwoofer amplifier — 500 watts RMS x 1 at 2 ohms
( those two I made them portable, atached amp on sub case with anti vibration rubbers, plain rubbers, and made the whole thing easy to take off from trunk. connection is made with a 220 V plug made for kitchens or dryers, cause in a toyota Yaris hatch... not much space, and take whole things of and on .. you end up breaking the connections, plus, theres enough space for the whole plug assembly just under the plastic plank, behind the slidding seat :) )
Also installed Component 5 1/4" JBL's in front, found a nice top line component kit and again JBL's with tweeters, atached for the back doors.
And voila. enough to make a statement that small cars dont always pack OEM speakers ( and I had the laugh of my life when I actually DID make that statement against an Audi A8 who thought could push me down, SHE had her bf roll up the windows after my car gave hers the finger) ahahahaha
But from the compliments I got... overall i can say its a fair to very good system, on that mix match, and cheap to make, + it's not energyvore.
But then again all systems made would depend of your music.. im into techno,I need sound to be clean at points not always bombarding.
