No, I did not reuse the gasket, and I got the polk audio mm 1042 dvc. What I did was put some foam weather strips on the bottom of the subwoofer instead. I forgot to take pics, but in this photo you can see two of the four zipties. Again, I just routed them through the speaker screw holes and the holes where the 10mm bolts for the bracket went.

And I had others in the FB group follow my example without issue as well. Up to you.
Also, carefully remove and save the old connector. You can just screw the new sub wires into it.

What I did was just cut the wire a little bit before the solder points on the speaker, then used wire strippers to expose the bare wire under the heat-shrink tubing. Since the polk sub has spring connectors, no new soldering was required. Again, I just had to wire two new wires in series to the speaker, then used some wire connectors (specifically two wago connectors) to join the wires to the main wire from the car.
