I really didn't want to add the weight since I have an M car. I bought that Alpine PLT-5 and the sucker weighs close to 50 pounds. I spent a ton of money on an titanium exhaust to shave of 37 pounds and it would be lost the moment I put that sub in there.
I am attaching something that I hope someone might find useful. It is the template I use to cut my spacers. It takes a lot of time to get it right and this template is damn close. To use this, you need to have a printer that is capable of 11x17 printing or a sticker cutting machine that can cut this out for you. This is not for 8.5x11 printers!!! I just made copies of this, used spray glue to adhere it to the 1/4" MDF and I used my jigsaw to cut these out. Cut the middle circle out first! Once it's cut out, test fit it. You can use silicone or if you have a super hot glue gun some hot glue to adhere it to the box. Once that's done, position your speaker on top, then drill some small holes and you can actually use the OEM screws for the subwoofer to hold it all in place.
One is in landscape and the other is in portrait. Play around with those settings so that your printer can print it out correctly. Do not resize/scale the template or else it won't work!
