My experience with the PAC products are that they do not produce good high quality bass. The sound frequency all though converted to an RCA preout is still setup to be a mid or a high. These frequency at high levels can damage your sub. After messing with one of those in a different car I bought a real converted AudioController ci (2ci is like $70 on ebay) and it made all the difference in the world as far as a clear bass sound goes. In your case with a fairly small amp you could be okay.

Hi, I'm experienced at installing new car stereo's but I'm a little bit nervous about installing one in my Hybrid because I don't want to mess up the way the high voltage battery system works. In looking at my car there is a low voltage (12v) battery in my trunk and since I don't have a regular battery under the hood, I guessed that this is the regular battery. In looking at the manual on how to replace the battery, sure enough I had it right. Since the battery is in the trunk it seems like it would be very easy to run power off of it to my amp and my sub. I would also use AudioControler LC2i to convert the back speakers out puts into pre-sub outs. I would use that sound to run one set of RCA's to my sub amp and one to an amp that would go to the original speakers. I would also have plans in the near future to replace the back speakers with something that can handle a little more power. Does anyone see a problem with any of this? Am I missing something about it being a hybrid that I should know before I start messing with stuff?
