I bet that setup sounds great! I’m not sure I even need that much….I’m actually curious as to how the self-powered thin subs that fit u der the seat work.
Subwoofer yet?

What trim do you have? (I.e are you rockin’ the JBL setup or factory default.)

I can't speak to all trims, but I can tell you a Kicker 46HS10 does NOT fit under a LC trim with the power seats.
Not a lot of room under there.
Does anyone know the speakers' sizes for the premium and non-premium models? I ended up getting a non-premium LC trim and I'm fairly happy with the base stereo but really wanting to know sizes to see what my replacement options would be. Looks like even the base LC trim stereo has a sub in the back gate even though I really do no notice it at all over the bass coming out of the front door speakers.
There are 3 3.5" speakers in the dash (since they are sold in pairs, I have one left over JL and JBL 3.5" speaker that I would sell), 6x9 in the front doors, 6.5" in the rear doors, and an 8" mid range speaker in the rear. I am not sure what is included in the premium system. Below is a link to a site that you can narrow down your search based on the LC.

What adapter did you use to mount the 6x9 in the front door?There are 3 3.5" speakers in the dash (since they are sold in pairs, I have one left over JL and JBL 3.5" speaker that I would sell), 6x9 in the front doors, 6.5" in the rear doors, and an 8" mid range speaker in the rear.

Just my two cents here but, something I’ve learned over the years of installing & messing around with subwoofers & car audio speakers, head units etc. Is that a good box will always make the sub hit its best performance period. You can have a 250watt rms sub bang just as good as a 750watt sub if you set it up properly. My brother has a 4 runner with a 800watt JLaudio in a ported box & the whole cabin shakes at mid volume. Personally, i think I’d be ok with a 500watt sub but once it’s all installed I’m pretty sure it’d be easy to swap to a stronger setup once the wiring is installed. This being said, not knocking that encore box but you just won’t get a good rumble out of that stock sub on the rear door because it’s not setup to do that, it’s setup to give you some low to mid end bass and keep the consumer content while telling our buddies that the LC FE model also gets a subwoofer
I see that amp has three 30A fuses. Crutchfield advises to not go higher than a single 30 amp device, was your guy able to power it in some fashion that will not stress the electrical? Have you noticed anything odd in the way of electrical issues while using the audio?
What did that end up running you?
Nice and yeah, I noticed a noticeable difference too when I had Beat-Sonic install the same amp for me a week and a half ago. I’m getting ready to build a subwoofer box with my buddy who’s doing the same for his brand new Tacoma and install an amp in the back for that in the next 1-2 mos. Oh snd I also had the same error after beatsonic installed the amp, but they knew exactly what to do before I even drove off their lot to make it go away, which is good because I would’ve never figured it out. The guys at Beat-Sonic are super chill and they only charged me $130 to install their amp and run cables (I provided the cables ) to the back so it’s ready to go when I do install the sub.
Beat Sonic amp with aftermarket speakers was better. I then added a Nano powered sub under the drivers seat (1958) and it has room to spare and adds a nice amount of bass for its size.
Did you run the nano off of the beatsonic output on the 3t3? Did you add a second amp or tap off the amp under the drivers seat?
Yes, it runs from the RCA outputs of the amp. The 1958 model doesn’t have an amp, but the subwoofer I mentioned has a built-in amp. You just connect it directly to the battery in the rear. It’s super easy to access from under the driver’s seat.
Has anyone done this with a LC with Premium package or FE yet? The factory amp is under the driver's seat so there might not be enough room for this under there. If so, I might go this route as well.
You could put it under the passenger seat if that would work better for you.
And if you wanted to go the 10” slim route, there is a good amount of space under the rear seats as well.
Personally I would probably put the Basspro nano under the drivers side rear seat because I like the old school feel of a sub in the rear.
I think the "First World Problem" I'm dealing with is that on the Premium package, between the motors for the power seats, the fan/wiring for the heated and cooled seats, there is just not much room under there. Also, there is some kind of electronics component under the carpet under the passenger seat similar to the driver's side.
I have a Pioneer slim unit that I may put under the back seat eventually. I currently have my Weboost amp under the driver's side but could possibly fit it under the passenger side. The Weboost goes under the tray under the seat so I like that it's completely out of the way. I've got plans to vent it a bit but haven't had any issues yet. The metal "legs" you see are the supports for the "cage" over the hybrid battery.
