Can I ask a few questions about "how?"
Confirming that this is the product you mentioned:
Amazon.com: Alpine S-W8D4 S-Series Subwoofers : Electronics

It sounds like you mounted it in the stock sub location. Did you have to do any modifications to the enclosure like ARK_SWAMP_RIDER did, here? Because I thought I read that the stock sub was about 3" mounting depth but this Alpine speaker has listed dimensions of 3 3/4". https://www.toyota-4runner.org/521509-post1.html

Second - where did you place the new amp?

Third - can you walk me (generally speaking) through what I would need to do (I've never done car audio modifications before)? For example, where did you connect to the audio signal? I assume you left the stock amp in there to run the other speakers....

Thank you!
That's the sub I got.
Only modification to the stock sub box I did was to install rivet nuts for the screws I used to secure the sub. Plenty of depth, didn't have to shave any plastic or anything like in that post.
I put the amp under the passenger seat, tons of room and the amp I used is tiny. I already had an aftermarket head unit, so I used its pre-amp sub outputs. With stock head unit, you will need a converter from speaker level inputs, or an amp with speaker level inputs.
Fortunately, when you take out the rear cargo side panel you have great access to the JBL amp and it's speaker level outputs to tap into.

I left the stock JBL amp to drive the rest of the speakers, may upgrade it in the future
