advice on Pioneer 12 inch subs and amp?

I'm thinking of adding one or two 12" speakers to the 4Runner. I'm looking at Pioneer TS-W307D2 or Pioneer Premier TS-W1207D2. onlinecarstereo.com has them for $63 and $65, respectively. I'd like to get some opinions from anyone that has these installed in their Yota.

Also, I need advice on what amp to use. I know this will differ if I install 1 or 2 of these speakers. I've never built a system before, so I welcome all input.

I hate to give up my whole cargo area to a box with two 12s, so one 12" may be the ticket. I assume there is some way to route both L and R rear channels to this one sub?

Comments are appreciated.

Since you dont want to lose space, i would build a box on either side of the cargo on top of the wheel wells.

I did mine in my second gen like this and got .75 ft. air lineing it with 3/4 mdf inside and built a face out of it for the speaker mounting itself.

i ran 3 of the premier TS-W3001 12s off of a power acoustik 3000 watt monoblock with a kinetik powercell, and those things nearly beat the metal off my truck. but if space is an issue, one 12 will give plenty of bass. and i would suggest just a monoblock or 2 channel amp, as they will give you plenty of options as far as running 1 or more speakers and definitely check out the power acoustik amps, as they perform well for their price...but good luck with your choice and watch out for sound ordinance tickets...

That one on the left is almost exactly what I want, do you have more details on how you did it? I have like zero experience building sub enclosures... I only want one and I really would like to keep my storage compartment.
