Subwoofer added

This is what i added to my FR-S last weekend: http://www.crutchfield.com/p_1369313...v3.html?tp=112 and http://www.crutchfield.com/p_500MRPM....html?tp=35834. Sounds as good as the 10 " custom built sub i have in my WRX and takes up very little room. Ran 8 gauge wire from battery and tapped into a wire on the radio harness that only has power in acc or key on position for my amp turn on lead wire. This sub is a little pricey but it sounds great!

how's that compare to the sub which you can buy through subaru brz accessories, it looks like it sits on the left side of the trunk cavity.
