So... finally able to come close to finishing up my subwoofer install after the rain locked me out.
This is a long one, so feel free use the chapters in the video to bounce around. The hardest part for me was surprisingly running the cable through the rubber grommet in the firewall so if anyone came up with a better method I'd love to hear it.

Removing the right-hand cargo area trim panel
Note: 4-Door instructions below, 2-door should be similar.
