should I go with 8" or 10" sub bracket...does either work well enough to bother?

etarasoff: [this in reference to the Pioneer TS-WH500A] ...that sounded like a perfect fix to me for some pain-free, moderate bass, but I chased down the dimensions and she won't fit: 14"x9.4"x3"--the 3" height fits tight floor to seat, but the 9.4" is a no go between the rails (the Kicker has the same dimensions). I don't know, headphones and a nice tube amp & let the passengers hum?

Bummer. There are a few others like it, though. Maybe the Kenwood one might fit? Or the Soundstream?

I'd even consider mounting the Pioneer all-in-one behind the rear plastic panel ... up top behind the speaker grille if you have a Toyota, or down lower behind the vent slots if you have a Lexus.

Eric: you just saved me some money...the Kenwood KSC-SW11 measures 2.75"x7.5"x11"....it fits under the seat!

Cool, if you get it, let us know how it sounds.

Did you have one in mind?

This is what I was thinking but it's 7 years old now.

Need one of these

That's one way to do a stealth install? Strap a big silver boom box to your chest. Big style and no intrusion into the cargo area. Win win.

Here is what I had done:

A year plus later, I'm still happy.

Just found a new sub by Pioneer, I think it will fit in there just fine.

For sure but you can't see it behind the panel and it sounds 5x better than factory sub. I got a couple used units off fleabay for $50ish each. I mounted One on each side. Now it sounds 10x better than factory.
