So I've spent a few weeks lurking in the various subwoofer installation threads and it was the first modification I did when I took delivery. I only needed to buy two items for my subwoofer install, this
wiring kit, and I chose
this subwoofer.
I have done multiple audio installations in the past so I'm familiar with the process and the equipment. I chose a powered subwoofer so that I could still utilize my subtrunk if needed and I'm also not too interested in replicating extreme lows or audiophile quality sharpness in the bass. I just wanted more low-end in the simplest manner possible.
I chose this sub over the
Rockford Fosgate P300-8P Punch simply because it took up less space. I am well aware it is an inferior subwoofer, but it takes up less space and that was the main goal. Honestly either would work as they both have remote turn on built in.
Because remote turn on is already integrated all I had to was connect the power/positive cable to the DC/DC under the rear seat, connect the ground wire to the factory amp ground location, and tap into the high-level signal wires on the factory subwoofer input.

The above images, which I found elsewhere in the forums, were the most helpful to me.
I mounted my sub to the rear of the sub-trunk, facing the cabin, as that configuration makes it simple to tune and adjust.

This really is an extremely simple job if you use a powered subwoofer!
