Were you able to use the stock amp? Or did you use an aftermarket amp?

Doesn't the weight of the sub pull the rear metal deck down. I tried that and the sub was way to heavy. So left the sub in the box. Did you use any support underneath? Pics?

Sorry for the late reply, forgot to subscribe for replies.

The box is sealed. Used MDF as recommended in the instructions that came with the sub.

Nah, it didn't weigh the deck down, then again the sub is not that big. I used dynamat to illiminate any possibility of a rattle.
