If I wanted to keep the same form-factor and aesthetic, would something like the below pic make a big difference (no amp)? I would like to add an amp but I think I would need to route a remote start wire to turn it on when the car starts, is there a way to do so splicing into anything in the trunk?
Looks good! I like it better without the side panel grille over the sub anyways. Did the sub come with some sort of protective cover? That would be a nice addition.
Could use black body panel plugs for those 2 holes on your sub enclosure. Just whatever they have locally which is the right size.
And the amp remote wire I routed to the cig lighter, right underneath it in the center console. Seemed a common option and I confirmed 1st that it does turn off immediately after turning off the car (some cars keep those live even after turning off the car). I can't imagine there is anything in the trunk to do this. Except lights and a reverse camera which I assume wouldn't work.

Thank you! I think it gives it some character as is but I would like to semi-cover all the flashy logos and text, this sub didn't come with a grille and haven't seen subs that come with it, I might be able to use one of the 6.5 JBL speaker grilles, will see how it looks like.
About the panel plugs, that's a good idea, I will have to trim them because they'll hit the enclosure but no biggie and thank you for confirming the cig lighter, that makes sense, I forgot that most cars turn it off.
Quick update, I installed one of the 6.5" speaker grilles from the 6.5" JBL Clubs and the panel plugs. Man, these grilles really take the character out, I need a grille that looks tougher. On another note, if you didn't know, if you have the navigation screen you probably have DVD playback, I got some classy shows and these sound AMAZING! If you're still listening to music through Bluetooth you're not getting the best. Get some quality music files on your USB stick or play CD/DVD directly
