install aftermarket amplifier on Kizashi base without Rockford system

How did you remove the rear deck to get to the area for the subwoofer? Do you have any photos of step by step?
I have the S model, so I have to cut in the sub woofer, but I don't know how to remove the rear deck so I can cut the metal for the sub.

I followed instructions in the service manual to remove the partition trim I must say it is not an easy task.

A link would've been a bit more helpful. That reply wasn't much help. Thanks anyway

if you add an amplifier to Kizashi without a Rockford amp you need to add a passive crossover to the front door speaker because there is only a pair of wire to drive both the woofer and tweeter

since there is no specification about Kizashi woofer and tweeter frequency response I use a simple JBL cross-over.

Today I upgraded my ATOTO headunit to JVC KW-M750BTM.
reasons:
1- Android Auto : build in AA with 1.5A USB charge.
2- Audio DSP: with my previous speaker upgrade really needed this feature
3- much better speed and stability

tasks needed to be done to install new HU:
1- create new wiring harness.
2- JVC headunit has 2 USB port one is connected to car OE USB port for cooldisk USB connector is different so I have to improvise. cut usb cable and solder new TYPE A USB connector to it. other USB cable goes to GLOW BOX to connect to phone for AA.
3- steering wheel wiring: Kizashi uses simple resistor array type steering wheel buttons the only thing I have to do is connecting steering wheel wires to provided cable in JVC package (JVC Call it Direct OE Connect Feature) so no need any adaptor just 3 wires:
KEY1,KEY2, GND
4- also mount my OE headunit frame I bought from megazip (73330-57L00-ZNF GARNISH,I/P CTR, Suzuki)

I decided to replace 12V power on the dashboard with a new OEM USB plug(SOCKET,USB, Suzuki 39105-57L00-000) because of 2 port USBs provided by the new head unit.
this way I can use one port for traditional USB storage and a second port for AndroidAuto or CarPlay.

time for sound dampening of the doors.
in order to get a better base and sound quality, I decided to use the sound damper material. I use damper from the Russian company STP.
1- open door panel
2- get rid of old plastic cover(thank god
3- add damper inside driver door and add acoustic damper on top of it. Kizashi already has 3 pieces of sound damper in place so I use then also and add new STP material to it for better results.
4- cover all holes in door.
5- remove old foam from door panel and add sound absorber.
6- add some vibration absorber on door plastic covers.
