tell me if this makes sense. Since the signal is tapped after the amp my OEM volume **** controls the entire system including the sub. Turn it all the way up the volume is loud and the bass is booming. Turn it halfway down and the entire soundstage is cut in half. Turn it all the way down and crickets. The bass **** only controls the amount of bass relative to the entire system. Kinda like filling the gap. I have my bass at about a 4 out of ten and keep it there for everything from classical to hip hop to metal and it just the right amount to fill in those missing lower octaves. In fact over the past week I've heard / felt tones in songs I've never heard before adding the sub and listening to the same material.

your's sound like the bass **** works like it should. Mine on the other hand, when you turn the **** just slightly, it's at full. When it's at full twist, it is as if it was still at slightly turned, still full up. That's why I was asking where you got your signal from.
Maybe it's my amp and ****, it's pretty old. An old set up from my 00' 4Runner about 14+ years ago.

2- Running an amplified signal to another amp is a big no-no: Thats when you take the signal directly from your factory sub and plug it into your aftermarket amp/sub setup. That would require a line level adapter and a simple gain adjustment

That's a clean set-up, looks nice. I'm assuming the trunk set-up is a bit different for those with the "coolbox" feature.
I was wondering, would you / could you show a picture of the A.P.O. installed prior to putting the bass **** in there? I have a 2010 model, so mine has the older interior than yours. That location is fantastic, close it down, it looks stock, open it up, there's the ****, and it looks clean also.
This is a mod I would certainly consider doing, it's so clean. And I think your bass gain **** is an excellent way to control it, and dial in exactly the amount of bass wanted.
Good write-up, good pictures, etc!

Yeah, OK. I'll look on Edmunds or something. But generally the lid is closed. I'm familiar with the look of the A.P.O., but I wanted to see the whole area around the A.P.O. included.
That set-up is SWEET. My interior does not have the A.P.O. up front like that. Only in the console box.
