Most people I believe don't do a direct replacement of that sub. They remove it and put a new sub in a different location. A stealthy install is then to put the amps in this cubby hole and no one knows they're there.

I would like to see someone mount a sub in the stock location, and seal the entire area up with something lightweight like expanding foam.

I wouldnt worry about the mounting holes.. just look for something with a similar cutout diameter and then just drill your own holes.

Confirmed -- 10 inch Infinity sub does not fit in stock location -- need custom MDF bracket. The mounting plate was a hair to big.
