A big thanks goes out to you fellas It wasn't an easy process doing everything at night in sub freezing temps. But ya'll gave me enough info to get it done.
All that's left is repositioning everything and screwing it all together so that it doesn't move.

Adding my setup here as well as this was one of the threads I was following while researching my options and troubleshooting my issues. I hope it helps someone.
Parts list :
Alpine MRV-M500 Mono V-Power Digital Amplifier
Connection setup:
-Wires power from battery through passenger side gromet. Pita to feed through gromet.
-ground to existing bolt next to rear seat bracket. Sanded paint off for better connection.
-Remote wire tapped into fuse #23 via ATR add a circuit in passenger kick panel
-tapped into BOTH rear speaker wires in BOTH b pillars. They are the pairs that are intertwined.
Driver /left
White w green stripe (+)
Brown W yellow stripe (-)
Passenger /right
Brown W white stripe (+)
Brown w blue stripe (-)
-ran the tapped wires into each of the Kicker line out converter wires. Also grounded the brown wire to same spot where I grounded the amp ground
-connected everything
-cut wall carpet so sub can fit better behind seat
-I have sub slightly tilted for now. Will need to cut center bolt and perhaps add 2x4 or something. Currently resting next to bolt closest to outside of truck, while other sids rest on top of bolt closer to center of truck. This gives enough clearance since part of sub is sitting lower and top of box is narrower.
I hope that makes sense and helps out others. I had read several posts /threads where people were experiencing same problems. I could not get the wpt 1212 to sub factory harness method working for the life of me. I was even thinking of tapping directly into factory sub harness wires (skipping wpt 1212 harness) instead of b pillars but just didn't feel like going though that trouble since I could not determine what was not working initially (1212 harness, factory sub, forscan settings). In hindsight, I would have gone this route from beginning (tapping to bpillar speaker wires).
Does anyone know if this same 12" Pioneer sub will fit *under* the rear seat of a 2018 SCREW? I am debating between this and the slightly smaller 10" version. Here are the two product links for reference:

It should fit. I just built myself a custom box for a JL sub I already had. I can tell my box dimensions are 26”W X 12”D X 6” low end, 8” high end (trapezoid). It fits perfect. So that one you listed is like 13” W which would be fine. 1” wider than mine and there was a little room.
Thats a good price though.....I like that 12” one.

Do you think I would be safer going with the 10in version? It is 6" as opposed to 6 3/8" for the 12".

I just double checked the measurements under my seat (same truck as you). I’d be more concerned with it sticking out from under the seat ( unless your not concerned) it’s almost 14” deep. 2”more than mine. As far as the height I think you would be a safe bet with the 10” sub 6” high box to be on the safe side.
