I added a JL 8 inch sub. I took the stock box out and added 2 layers of sound deadening to the inside and outside to try and seal the box. the stock box is crap. If you have a chance replace it with fiberglass. I also added another amp to power it. The JL sub stuck out farther so I had to mount the grill to the outside of the panel.

Hey all, My 06 LT has the cut out for the Sub but if I am interested in installing a sub in that spot what will I need to do? I feel it should be an easy install but in HHRs with no pre existing sub in that location, is anything behind that panel or will I need to build something to attach the sub to etc?
Any information would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

There is a small plastic sub box behind the panel.
Sometimes they come up for sale in the Classifieds. Look there and see if any are available, if not post a "wanted" thread in the classifieds.
Otherwise you can put it in a seperate box in back. Even placing it flush with or under the rear floor in the spare tire area.

Check out Truckin Magazine online for their article on a Budget HHR stereo install, you might like the sub install.

I found the OEM piece I need on http://www.pamsauto.com/default.aspx. I put in a best offer and went low on offer waiting to see what happens. All I really want is the box. I don't need the sub or amp. I just think it would be such a clean install if I used the pre-exisiting sub area.
