Scott, Thank you for your feedback. Unfortunetly the obstacle you describe regarding the adapters thickness has no good solution. If we make the bracket thinner the screws will not hold correctly. It needs to remain as thick as it is to hold the screws that secure the subwoofer properly and to reduce flexing from the vibrations. We aren't sure which subwoofer you used but if you used the kicker subwoofer then it should sit right against the grill. If you used another subwoofer with a large surround then the solution described below may not help. You have two solutions to help with the extra thickness around the subwoofer. To secure the back deck on correctly you have to trim the surround on the inside of the deck cover so it doesn't push against the surround of the new subwoofer. If you don't want to modify the rear deck plastic then your other solution is to use longer retaining clips. If you don't like either of those solutions then you can drill the metal and fabricate new mounting holes other wise you won't be able to install another aftermarket subwoofer. We have seen other installations where people cut up the factory sub and then secure the aftermarket subwoofer to the factory metal frame but this doesn't hold well with the vibrations over time. We have a video coming out next week 7/27 on how to install an aftermarket subwoofer in the TSX. We will showcase the two solutions just in case my explanation was not clear enough.
