hi everyone. new member here. i recently purchased a 2007 highlander hybrid and am considering installing a subwoofer. can anyone comment on this matter? i'm looking into an infinity basslink T. any suggestions? possible mounting options? what about a possible stealth box? wiring? any and all comments would be greatly appreciated. thanks!

Personally, I think stealthing a sub into the passenger side cargo pocket just above and behind the rear wheel well would be really cool.

I saw somebody do it on a Forester and it looked great!

It depends on the O/E radio yu have.

It can be done. But requires more than just a sub to do this.

A stealth design is great on the rear cargo panel.

yu would have to watch your crossover freqs. to get a decent balance of sound.

I feel the O/E radio produces too much on the low end freqs to begin with!! Your results might not be well justified.

my hu is the oem navigation jbl system for the limited 2007. how would i adjust the crossovers? could i tap into the amp (that i hear is somewhere in the cargo space)? any suggestions for a stealth box, or is that a custom job? thanks for the info LT.

this would be a custom intall for sure. I believe the amp is digital to the hu.

I found the JBL amp on the right rear corner on the floor pan. Yu have to remove the black tray that holds the jack/ parts. It is right there in the corner. if yu can tap into the JBL harness without problems, then the right rear panel would be a nice close spot for the Stealth Sub. But I don't believe the amp is where yu can get your line out??? That is the key to this project!!! Not sure at this point. Trial and error with a Volt meter and schematics of the JBL harness might yield the line out.both channels.

getting to the rear door speaker outputs might be a solution!

The only problem I can see, is finding a low level line out for the amp.

you might have to buy a high level TO low level converter to drive the sub amp. And just tap into the left and right channels with it.

Good luck
