How did that Polk Woofer mount up to the factory surround, did you need to do any drilling to the metal or does it line up ?

I'd want to hear it one day as I'm considering the same upgrade, even though I'm pretty happy with my FG sub Fix, it could be a bit better with an upgraded sub.

From memory most of the holes lined up.

The sub edge is raised more, which requires longer bolts then stock.

Is that a Linn SARA in the background?

As in the speaker in the background? Nah, it's a Focal :)

I was looking at the Polk subs but the manual says specifically do not run in a free-air or infinite baffle set up. I went with the Kenwood KFC-XW800F, bolted up to the standard parcel shelf holes (not all subs will, the Pioneer free-air one will not). Plenty of Dynamat and the improvement is huge. The standard sub was absolutely rubbish.

I did buy Polk DB6501 and 651 speakers for the doors, but I haven't got around to installing them. Part of the reason is once I'd put Dynamat on the doors the stock speakers actually started sounding alright! There is still plenty of room for improvement though so they will go in soon.
