Unsure if they'll fit yours Evan, but check out Adamesh website, that's where I got them.
They're quite a bit bigger, more manly and just fit straight over existing tailpipes for around £85 if I remember correctly

Can I see a picture of how the subs are mounted? I am thinking about upgrading my stereo. Also did you just use a basic LOC or something else to get the signal?

The leather wraped gear shifter cover (it is black plastic stock); can you sell that?

I have them wedge in pretty good. woofers have about half an inch on the bottom of box and the bass gets forced underneath the two front seats. Must hear it in person.

Yes a regular line out converter works. I am using a Audio Processor which is pretty much a line out converter but for all the channels since I upgrade the whole system. Changed every speaker. And added the aftermarket amplifiers. If you do the line out use both rear speakers for the input so that way you will have full stereo sound and not mono. On these vehicles you really dont want the woofers to rattle and bass get trapped in the trunk. Any audio questions let me know buddy Ive done hundreds of Jaguars.

Send me your plastic stock cover, ill wrap it for you?

That bud, is some cool work and a stunning looking car.
Have you done any upgrades to the engine and suspension, other than the SDD measured drop to the front?

I only have the standard audio system with Nav. So how would you add 200W RMS of substage? I have had 1200W substage when I was younger. I don't need that now. I just want full sound and emphasis on SQ and not output. So I think a single 10" or 12"(I prefer it b/c of deeper lows) will be all I need.So how would you do it and recommendations? Where to tap the speakers?

feel free to PM me.
My current "winter" car is 2007 Lincoln MKZ with full components front & rear (CDT HD-62). Fronts get 200Wx2 RMS and rear 100Wx2 RMS. 2 Boston G5's with 2 radiators powered by 1200W RMS. Fully sound proofed. It sounds like a dream but honestly way way too much of overkill.

Very nice mods. It's Vegas, after all, and goes with the territory. And the white color keeps the Kitty cool in the hot desert sun.

Get the Rear speaker lines coming in from door in the bottom of the B Pillar both sides. Power And ground is already there for you. You can also find ACC or Ignition in the fuse box, All in the trunk.

I would run a bass knob up front somewhere

note: the rear seats are sealed from trunk. There is absolutely no way to run wires but to drill a small hole.

Some good ideas there! Particularly interested the led headlights, guess they are HID? Also like the headlining, that has been on my to-do list for a while!

Ok, so I just checked out your FB page(s). Yeah dude, ur a farkin genius. (& seemingly pretty good @poker)

Of any subject, are those HUE LIGHT STRIPS that you installed in the lady's floating shelf? Looks like it. I have 49 lights (old & new strips, blooms, iris, HUE GO & plenty bulbs) they're addictive as SHISK!..

I should probably do a write up on the Halo conversion and replacing the fogs

Seems like most are interested and want that done. Really a appearance enhancer.

As I mentioned before it took me two days. not much needed in fabrication material.
