I ended up seeking two subs and have one left that is dead in the room the past few years due to the same issue and I can’t lift or deal with the weight to ship either so it sits DOA.
I’d be very interested how you pryed the panel off.

I am not sure about the F113 but in the v2. Place the sub face down. Remove all the “perimeter” screws. Do not remove the screws that are not on the “outer” perimeter of the back plate amp. On the F113v2, I removed 16 screws in total. Once all screws are removed get two smooth locking pliers/vice grips. Grip one of the heat sinks on opposite sides. Use a cloth between the teeth and the sinks to prevent scratches on the heat sinks. Gently use the grips to lift the amp plate straight up. Be careful not to over lift. Once loose/lifted use a wedge to keep it up ( something that will not damage the finish. Locate and disconnect the wires to free the amp plate. Lift up again with the grips and it should come right out. Hope this helps.
For me the hardest part was making sure I didn’t scratch the finish. Take your time and having a friend around will make things a lot easier. Especially when locating the wires to disconnect and free the amp plate.
Cheers!
