300 watts RMS enough for a sub?

Correct, deadening should be the first thing done in anycar. For 100$ you can pick up 50sf of rattletrap 80mil. Its more than enough to do the key parts of the FR-S. Its a good overall product as well, it doesnt stink, sticks well and no issues hanging upside down in southern summer heat.

That is a good site, but a lot of it is overkill for most vehicles. On average you really just need the 50% surface area of CLD, and some CCF in the doors.

I've got this in my STI, and it'll probably get moved over to the BRZ. It's more than enough for average listeners. I'm into heavy bass and will probably need to get another amp and a 12" to cover the full range of frequencies. Best part of that amp is it's tiny and doesn't get really hot so you can mount it just about anywhere. It'd probably be perfect in the spare tire compartment.

Yeah, I only picked up 25 ft^2 of GTMAT Ultra (80 mil) and still have some left over. I did about 50% on the outer skin and 50% of the inner skin in the doors, 50% on the trunk lid, and maybe 30% around the spare tire area. Not quite sure where to put the rest of my GTMAT.... Behind the doors on the car skin next to the rear seats, more underneath the spare, around the wheel well, ?

I just don't want to put much more on the trunk lid cause I'm afraid it'd be too heavy to automatically open at some point. I don't really want to go into the roofline to get any in there. I just want to put it somewhere where it'd make the biggest difference.

I run 750 to 2 10's and have unlimited (well, never got high enough to damage my eardrums) volume. So you should be fine around there.

Also check Crutchfield.com those guys have TONS of great support.

Rear deck

Interesting, I haven't thought about the rear deck much but I guess it makes sense due to its close proximity with my sub. I should have more then enough for that, what would be the next few areas before doubling up in areas I've done already? (btw, I don't feel I NEED to use it all up especially sense it would save a few more lbs off the car - but want to apply it where it would make a difference).

I would actually put it up top in the headliner, it will make it so much quieter and actually make the temperatures lower. Other then that the rear seat sections will help alot.
