Hiya,Just got a 2004 Vibe and am looking for a rear right back panel from a newer Vibe so I can install a custom Subwoofer housing. It looks like the 2004 model has a different panel there that doesn't have as much room. On eBay they are selling the factory subwoofer housing but I need to get the updated panel for it to fit.Anyone know where I can get one of these?Thanks!!

junkyard... You can do far better off with aftermarket gear though... There is a recent thread that goes over mine(and others) stance on it... for the money and effort you are going to spend, you'll get better, spending the same out of the aftermarket.. If you can have a sub in a box, that you can leave in the garage, should you need the space, it's beneficial.... better sound.... A 10" sub and a small box, could easily be kept behind one of the front seats in the foot well, and be moved should you want... Just options, I'm all about options... Welcome to GV BTW...!!!

Thanks for the info! I was thinking junkyard as well but I live in po' dunk Spokane and not too many junked Vibes that I could find.I agree that an aftermarket setup would sound a ton better but I just don't want to lose the cargo space in the back. Also I was a bit worried about having a sub box visible from the back - people might think about breaking the back glass and jacking it. What you said about in the foot well might be a good idea though, I will definitely look into that. The current system I have is the Moon and tune I think...6 speakers and an amp under the passenger seat. I think that system sounds really darn good for stock. I was uber impressed! But I am assuming I will have to put another amp to run the sub boxes. How does it work with the Monsoon stock sub? Does that run off the same 200w amp that comes with the car?Gotta say I really like my Vibe! I just got back to the sates after living in Japan for 6 years and was in the market for a new car once I got back. I didn't set out to get a Vibe, in fact I had never even heard of one before. But after test driving it I really liked it and don't regret the purchase at all. Fun little car!
