As AJ said, what does your electrical consist of?

[OrionStang]

Only way to know is to test all your options. There aren't many Prius builds around, so you'll have to do some work. That means multiple boxes.

You aren't planning on simply adding a port to the current box, are you?

I've never seen a system in a prius, hows your Electrical?

and aren't they hatch backs? with 4 12s i would port into the cabin.

thats the thing prius arent normal, dont have exposed belts and doesn't use an alternator, it uses a an inverter as a charging system from the hybrid battery to the 12v battery.and from what i read online some state the inverter give off 100 amps.

prius are really amazing how they work. hell it doesn't even shift gears

buys 4 Fi Q and says his going for SQ.. when you buy that many drivers SQ will be the last thing you will achieve.

Ports along the bottom usually end up being very wide and not very tall. High aspect ratio ports like that aren't the most efficient things ever. It's certainly not a deal-breaker but it's something to consider.

well i used to own 2 Fi BTL 12s UFO mags in my 02 accord they were great. i loved them but i was wanted more SQ so i sold my BTLs and i bought 2 Fi Qs and i loved how the FI Q sound so much i bought 2 more. end up with 4 in a sealed box and right now every time i head out i get compliments on how good it sounds. and i been around enough spl system to hear a difference in sq compared to mines and thats just on 4k with spl kick
