    you cant hook it up to the stock head unit without either a hi-low converter or one of Phreddys mods, this question has been answered before, do a search.

    Hi there..

    I've had VY's and a VZ ute and did some mods to the stereo.

    I ran an amp off the fact head unit, put kenwood components in the front and 3ways in the rear.

    I had a mate make some fibreglass pods covered in matching cloth, in the encloser where the quarter light window is.
    They were angled slighty towards the rear window so the sound went around you as such.
    Got plenty of base through the fronts and I could only use half volume. Plus still had all the storage space behind the seats.

    Just an idea for you, lol...
    Cheers...

    .... or you could place the sub in the cavity next to the fuel tank. (under the cargo tray) Doesn't cost you any cabin space at all! (does mean you need a custom built box tho...)

    Thats what i did to my VS ute, best bass i've ever felt and heard for the size and power of the sub and amp.

    im running twice the subs and amps in the VY and it would sound 2/3rds as good.
