Default Almost done installing my new Pioneer Sub!!

It wasn't a very difficult task, just very time consuming! I have to say that the Pioneer sub is a definite improvement over the stock sub! It doesn't give the same sound as a ported sub, but its very close to it!

I was able to fit the sub in the stock location by removing a metal bar that runs just underneath it. It was spot welded in 4 spots, so I simply drilled them out without any problems. I then had to enlarge stock hole so that I could fit the new 10" sub. I used a dremel with a metal bit. That took the most time because I wanted to be careful and neat with it! I made a new 9" diameter hole and fit the 10" perfectly. I used some 1/2" foam insulation between the sub and dash to help with vibrations. I used 14"x2" hex self tapping screws to bolt the sub down.

In order to the stock cover back on, I had to cut some of the interior plastic as well as remove the red lens for the stop light. Since I have a spoiler with the LED it didn't matter. You also can't tell that the red lens is missing because of my tint! So I was lucky with that!

All I really have left to do it just secure the sub a little bit more! Other than that it's done! I am happy with the new results!!

Pics will be posted shortly!

Thanks to all those that helped with all my technical questions!!
