If you lift the rear floor to access the spare tire you will see a storage compartment next to the spare tire on the right hand side. There are also some tools on the plastic flooring that will need to be moved.
We had all of the tools that were in the storage compartment moved to the left side as well as the tools on the plastic flooring.
Then with storeage compartment removed (it's a plastic bucket), fiberglass was molded to the conture of the space. It actually wraps around the spare tire a little to help hold it in place.
The plastic flooring above the speaker will have to be cut or else it will rattle like crazy. You would just need to cover it with a grill.
When it's done, you just have to lay your floor mats over the rear compartment and everything is completly hidden and you have full usage of your hatchback. Mount the amp under the seat and you are good to go.

The sub is 8" and in a sealed enclosure. It's definately not for those that need to blow their doors off. For an 8" thought it's quite nice and has enough volume to vibrate the seats and your hair a little. It sounds better than the Kicker 10" in my wifes Saturn (though the 10" is a bit better around 25 hz.)
It matches very well with the stock system, and in some instances can overpower it by a large margin. I have a remote bass control that makes it easy to control the balance of bass with the stock stereo so it makes for a really nice SQ system.
I had an installer do the work. I can do a lot in a car, but now days would rather leave it to somebody else so if they screw up they get to cover the cost of repair.

RS
Picked up #747 today :D
All I can say is... wow. The car is pure bliss. I had a smile on my face as soon as I saw it. As I got there almost every salesman/saleswoman of the dealer was out there looking at it and they agreed that it was just hot. I am really excited and thankful. Future mod - it needs a drop! But I am finally a Scion owner, and I am very excited to be amongst all of you owners as well. :D

haha
haha yeah thats the same thing i thought... really cool number.... but its a lot higher than i thought! i was expecting a low 300 or something, haha, oh well. i only had time to drive it home from the dealer today, so tomorrow ill have a full day with it. ive already turned a few heads, and some guy already thought that it was fast enough for him to pull up to me and attempt to race. I know that I won't beat anyone with 108hp, so I didn't bother haha, but the fast looks of this car is just wow.

I just picked up number 78 a couple of days ago. I walked into the Scion dealer about a week previously and was looking at a standard xA. Didn't even consider the RS because I wanted to keep my price as low as possible. Alas, it was too late for me tho, the RS firmly implanted itself in my head and kicked my OCD into overdrive. Lovin this vehicle. I drove it off the lot with 20 miles on it and just broke 100 today! This little red beast makes my commute into dowtown Denver SOOO much more enjoyable. Wait... did I just say my commute into downtown was enjoyable?

haha, thats awesome... congrats!!! Yeah I've only had mine for a few days, but I LOVVVVVE it. Every time you look at it all you can do is smile. And the fact that I got pulled over today for not having a front plate.... and the cop letting me go by saying "wow nice wheels, I've never heard of 'sky-on' " was pretty cool 
He even let me get away with not having a front plate on, which I thought was cool.
Everyone is complaining about how it needs a drop badly, it actually doesn't need one that badly. It has a unique stance, and I don't think I'm going to touch it. That's right guys, I'm NOT dropping mine
haha, but I love it.
Congrats again.
