I did not take pictures but I followed the exact same steps that 97BlackAckCL posted previously. The only difference being the wiring. The stock subwoofer has 2 harnesses in the enclosure. I combined the two positive wires with butt connectors to speaker wire and did the same with the negative. The positive wires were yellow and green. The negatives were black and purple.
I installed the 8w3 today in the stock JBL enclosure and it sounds great but it is definitely underpowered. I’m going to hook up a JL slasher 500/1 this weekend. Hopefully I can get a clean signal from tapping into the rear sub.

does it still sound better than stock underpowered? If you had to go with stock or JL with no extra amp, what would you do?

If you need a line output converter designed for the stock amp let me know, I have one sitting in my closet that I never used

Cleans up the signal from the stock amp and converts it to a signal to the amp with RCA's, I bought it for my 4th gen and never used it

Thank you for offering!. I have an lc6i but I don’t think I want to use that because it takes up a lot of space. So I needed up ordering a cheap scosche LOC-80 and will try that out. I also might splice a pair of RCA’s open and go directly to the amp. I’m just trying to find the cleanest signal possible.

I think the stock jbl with sound dampening might provide a little bit more bass but idk the only bass I really hear are from the front door speakers right now lol hopefully that changes when I hook up an amp tomorrow evening

The 6x9’s in the doors are unreal. The bass is very clean and low. Sounds so much better than topping out the stock door speakers every time the bass hits.

I thought you had just replaced the fronts, but your signature shows the C2 650x as well. Did you put those in your rear doors and the hatch? Do they need an adapter kit?
I see that the JL audios are 4ohm. I thought our system was a 2.3 ohm system. Do you have to crank the volume to get the same volume out of the 4ohm speakers? I was leaning towards the JBL GTOs b/c they are 3 ohm. (already bought the GTO329s and they been sitting in box for over a year)

How's it sound w/ the new amp? What amp did you go with and where did you mount it? Did you take pics?

Sounds great with the amp addition. I did not take pictures but I used velcro to mount the amp underneath the driver seat as many other individuals have done the same. I am using a JL audio 500/1 amp to power the sub.

Do you think removing the seat and installing the sub and putting it all back together can be done in 1 day?
I’ve already ran my wires and just have a sub in a box in the cargo area. Thanks to this write up, I have a new mod bug! 😁

I don't know what the cubic volume of the enclosure is, sorry

Absolutely, I spent 3 days but it was 95 degrees and incredibly hot and humid and I was working in direct sun in my driveway. I also had to rip out my stereo and run all the wires, etc. If the wiring and everything is there, removing the seat and panels shouldn't take more than a few hours. Just take your time to ensure that you don't break any clips or lose any screws.

Thank you for the response! Ill probably go to junk yards to find the box so it may be a while before I can do it.
