Image of backseat with measurements

Hello all, I posted on here a long time ago. I have a 96' Tacoma extended cab and I put a budget system in it a while ago. My speakers and head unit are doing fine, but I'm ready for an upgrade to my sub. Right now I'm running an MTX all-in-one single 200W sub that fits quite nicely in the...

I literally have no idea how I am going to run my power wires from my battery to the inside of my car.. Does anyone have any tips?

There's no way it will be able to get that space away from it..

I bought a sub recently and its on its way. I'm using a single enclosure in the back of a 1.5 cab length truck (so basically JUST enough room for the sub to sit on the seat back there). The box is tilted on the back side. I didn't know if I should face it towards me or towards the side or fire...

Alright haha, well thanks for the help.. I guess I should have looked for a HU with more power in it or something. I was thinking maybe once my sub comes in the mail and I'm only playing the high and mid sounds on those it won't distort as soon, does anyone know about this?

Would I be able to get more output out of my fronts if I disconnect the rears?

Ok, so I only really care about powering the front speakers in my truck, the rear ones are barely noticeable. My problem is that when the volume on the speakers reaches 30, they ALWAYS distort. No distortion at 28, a tiny bit at 29, and completely distorted at 30. So I was wondering if it is...

I am also having this problem! Really disappointed because I really wanted the forum members' help in picking out my first system, hopefully taking advantage of black friday sales.. And also I was posting links to the stuff I was thinking about, maybe thats why?

Alright. I just put a new Kenwood Head unit and some Polk Audio 6.5" Speakers in my 1996 Tacoma ExtCab, and now I want some low-end as well. I don't really care to have a ridiculous amount of bass, the cheaper the better! (Seriously, if its possible for like $150 I would gladly take that kind...

What is the basis for all of you guys saying the sub is bad? I got it on sale for $50 WITH an enclosure from bestbuy, I just wanted some low end without breaking the bank, I don't think it can be that bad, can it? I'm not an audiophile I just want to be able to hear the low end. Edit: Maybe I'd...

What do you mean it didn't work out for him?

Even though it says the sub is capable of 300 something continuous watts?

Polk Audio - 12" Dual-Voice-Coil 8-Ohm Subwoofer - Black - DXi124 DVC I bought this sub + an enclosure for $50 combined, and its actually dual 4-ohm contrary to the specs on the site. I need a cheap amp for it if you guys can link me to one, I don't really want to spend a lot on this its just...

I listen to some rap and hip hop and a little rock and some electronica/dubstep I don't know how well I could do at building my own box, I think it would be cheaper to just buy one anyways? Or are there advantages to building a box? I found a box for a truck for like $24.99 or something...
