Default Subwoofer installment

For all people who want to replace the subwoofer with a more powerful one here are pictures of how i did it, i had my uncle help me with this, first take out your old sub and cut the metal so you get it like the first picture the clippers i used are below that fit it around your speaker and mark with a sharpee where you need to make incisions so it can fit after that bolt it down to the harness and the bolt it under the spot where it went

Default Subwoofer Installment Procedures

I looks pretty simple to do. Did you use an aftermarket amplifier for the sub?
