Sub install in my proto is done.
Sounds MUCH better now... But...
The fucking artificial engine sounds...
Can't turn them off in system, and hoooooly shit it's loud now. Like unbearably loud.
I've got it sorted for the time being with an active crossover, but apparently Nissan dealerships can turn it off, so I'll be 100% doing that at my first service (now due)

Just the one above for now. Doesn't look flashy like a bespoke setup, but this is more than enough in this car for now
I want all the mods I do to be pretty discreet from the outside. It's why I'm really wrestling with the exhaust choice...

That was my original plan, but I got this unit cheap and thought it worth a try.
For perspective, I paid $300 for the unit, but it would normally be around $850 installed.
A custom setup would easily run $3k if done right- there is a lot more to it than just the enclosure and parts. Balancing with the front stage becomes much harder.
This Kenwood unit is more than powerful enough for this car. If I was going to upgrade though, I probably would lower the floor height in the boot and mount sub enclosure on one side (single 10"). Putting any sort of speaker in the floor is going to cause the same boot capacity loss, if not more.

mostly plug and play - the connector needed to be replace, new fuse and wiring to the battery. Pretty straightforward for someone who does it regularly.

Needing to rant a bit.
Super disappointed with Nissan dealerships here in NSW.
The one I have my Proto with have not once ever called me to update me with any info, I’m always chasing them. Even with the current delays not a word has been said. Seeing as though there’s a good chance my Proto hasn’t been manufactured yet I’ve been trying to get in touch to try and change my auto to a manual like I’ve been asking them to do for months. I have no faith that they’ve even tried to ask Nissan if a change is possible. Anyways I’ve called twice in the past week and conveniently the only person that can deal with my situation is never available and never calls back. I just feel like as a customer they don’t really care about me at all because these things sell to the next buyer in line. I was also supposed to receive a call when they got their demo, and had to find out through someone else that they received it almost a month ago. Very frustrating, if I didn’t have my GR Yaris I’d be going insane right now. My interest for this car has never been lower and I blame the dealerships tbh.
