for what it’s worth I just had a local company install one for me! I had them replace the factory sub with a better 8” sub and amp. They did it all for me in less than 3 hours and even sound dampened it. It sounds sooo much better and I keep all my trunk space

@Dopey411 I'm bay area too. Who'd you use and how much? Also, setup?

Thinking about doing this myself. But if it's reasonable...

Hey! So it was a bit expensive, but since this wasn’t exactly a plug and play job, I wanted to pay someone to handle it cause I’m not that good with the wirings and stuff haha. I used “The Car Stereo Company” located in Sunnyvale. I forgot what amp, but they installed an 8” Kicker sub. Hits a lot harder and was perfect for me. They also sound dampened it, so the total cost was a tad more than $1,200. Paid half for a deposit and half on pickup. They did mine pretty quick too, about 2.5 hours. I expected my car to be there all day. Overall, I recommend them if you have some extra money to spend. The work they did was fantastic and the guy I spoke with (Hai) was very knowledgeable.
Lmk if you have any other questions!

$1200 is a lot for a sub install. I have a box but I need to find a way to secure it to the trunk. I think my speakers are going bad and are rattling.

@nawfoo , it's the bay area. Most shops are quoting 125 to 150 an hour for labor. Cost of living. It's crazy

@Dopey411 nice my parents live near there haha hope I run into you one of these days.

I got quoted 1500 for a jl 8w3 sub, and jl amp, similar setup in santa clara. Between that and getting a passive slim sub and cutting out the foam to maintain trunk space

I agree, it’s a lot but also about on par for the Bay Area unfortunately.

That’s funny you say that cause I actually live in Palo Alto but I went to that shop cause my parents live in that area too! Hope to see you around soon as well!

yeah like I responded to that other guy I think for what we’re looking for specifically is going to run us about $1,200 to $1,500 (yay Bay Area prices!) I was fine paying it though since one of the reasons I got this car was the practicality and I wanted the sub installed correctly. I guess if I reeeeeally wanted to I could’ve done it myself since I did see a thread where someone did the same thing, I just didn’t really have the time to do it and I was impatient lol
