Amp was wired today as per the below pics... You can tap into the OEM amp plug as follows:

Channel 1: Blue with Black stripe (+) twisted with Brown with Orange stripe (-)

Channel 2: Yellow with Black stripe (+) twisted with Brown with Orange stripe (-)

Remote: White single Wire

Power: I used the green box behind the spare tire to the left. I had three empty slots

Ground: There is a ground bolt under the handle you use to pull the spare tire out.

I still did not make the final wiring routes and still did not secure the amp in place below the NAV drive. Tomorrow I will paint the box and install the sub then finalize everything. Box details will be in the next post.

and here are the pics:

and now the enclosure box ... after trials and errors the below dimensions are the final result ... I lost some enclosure volume but it is still within the recommended range (the new volume is around 14.25 liters, 0.5 cu. ft). It fits perfectly in place!

It was made from MDF 1.8cm thickness on the sides, bottom, and top. For the face and the back I used 0.8cm MDF. I sealed it using clear wood silicon from inside and outside in addition to pressurized nails. Gonna paint it tomorrow then install the sub. Will use Enamel spray paint (black).

now with the pics before painting...

It goes inside the left compartment under the NAV but it has like 1cm extra going out ... u can still close the door though but with some hard pushing. It is still loose in there but I will find a way to fix it to the bracket.
