no, if u look i had to cut a lil bit cause the board was too thick... but what im planning on doing is get a peice of cardboard (or whatever that material is called that is over the spare tire in the trunk) carpets it the same color and cut out the area for the sub and spray glue it on the surround of the rear deck, so it looks like one flat peice and just the sub comng out of the carpet

What thickness board is that? It looks really thick..... if you used a 1/2" or 5/8" mdf, do you think the stock cover would fit over it?

Just curious if anyone has tried using any of the Tang Band 6x9 Subs mounted in the same location, either free-air or using a pre-built 6x9 box?

It's a free-air sub, you just don't have enough power for it.

If the sub didn't move, somethings not right. How did you get signal to the amp? Did you adjust hte gain?
