Here's how I did mine.. Cut the stock face off and replaced it with 1/2" mdf cut out to fit a 8" JLW3. Fit perfect and sounds badass...

It sounds really good and impressive. I may have some more but I'll have to look for em. No, the W3 fit just right with about a 1/4" to 1/2" of clearance. I made the new face because the JL wouldn't mount flush to the stock opening. I've also seen a JL 6" mounted up under the console where the stock bose sub is. You could always make an enclosure for the rear, its not that hard...

Also, a ported box for a single 10 doesn't take up too much space and will sound 100X better than anything you can put in that factory location.

The Kicker you use the ring that's on the stock woofer to make it fit just right!
