I'm in the process of doing the passenger side Sub, the drivers is still in the car...
I've been doing a small a bit almost every day at work ( usually at the end of the day if i have time )

I've got some second skin paint on stuff that I'm using , i've panted the inside of the enclosure and top of the enclosure , mounted the spacers ( 2 of them after they where sandwiched together with high industrial wood glue so the spacer is 12mm thick ) onto the enclosure after lining the rim end and sill with black silicone gasket material , screw in the original screws into the four holes pre-made on the spacers that had flush mounted holes for the screw head...

Thats as far as i've gotten but i've checked sizes etc and fits
I'm still figuring best approach for the subwoofer cable to enter the box method to ensure it doesn't allow loss of sound pressure ( i'm wanting to do this once only and not have to redo it do to some thing going wrong, another reason why i've taken my time with it in stages )

The best way to get the cable in is probably in that bit that comes out. Make a hole for the wire and then seal the gap with silicon.

Yip I know that 1 , I'm thinking of a better tighter solution

Which I came up with utilizing a counter sunk hole to fill with hardened glue and cover with a washer to ensure the Pressure of the enclosure stays good

IMO, the Pioneer (combined with an appropriate amp) is in another league altogether from the stock sub.
