yea but i think four of either of those subs would be pushing it in the yaris by the way the would be in a box with aero ports not to sure if they make a bigger alternator for the yaris either

also remember these subs weight 50+ lbs each.

one is enough i think. especially in a small car like that.

thats a lotta dough for amps and charging upgrades if you want to run 4...if you arent going to be competing then more then 1 or 2 would be quite unneccesary imo

One AudioQue HD3 12"15" on 1500RMS will BANG in either of those rides. If you want louder then use two HD3 12"15" on 3000RMS. But don't forget about charging system upgrades very important.

145 on 2000rms. I'll get you scores later when I put them on 6krms. Its loud man. really you only need 2. 4 blts or hd3's is realllllly loud. You will be happy with 2 no doubt.

with 4krms, you should be in the high 140's. Not going to say you will hit 150, because that is a hard goal indeed.

ah, didn't know that video was yours. nice. Anyways I don't know what to tell you. If thats not loud enough then do 4 like you originally planned to do, thats all I can say.

i am hoping that the two in a different car will be louder...i guess we will have to wait and see...i want the loudest i can. and glad you like the vid. and if i do four i will probablly run 1000-1500watts rms to each sub

I'm running mines with 1000rms each. They get very loud for low power. I'm the type of person who doesn't like to push his subs to the max.

i figure 1000 watts rms to each sub shouldnt be to much for amps and electrical upgrades

Both subs are excellent drivers, you cant go wrong with either. I dont think I would build the box at 5.5 though for either sub, more around 3.5-4, is what I would recommend.
