Problem with putting back rear seat after installing system
I'm guessing I'm the first person here to actually really pull apart and try to use the space under their rear seat, because I've seen no references about this. So, here's my dilemma:
I've got my 2 amps, cap, and 2 distribution blocks (ground/power) on the bare floor where the tray used to be. It looks sexy (pics forthcoming once I figure out this part), but now that I've got it tuned to where I'm 98% happy, I went to put the bottom cushion back in place and...well, if you've taken out the bottom cushion before you'll know that the foam is so thick that it goes pretty much to the floor (their way of supporting it).
As such, my amps & cap are about 1-2" too high since they're... about 2" high (JL 500/1 and 300/4, and Tsunami 5 farad). So, my dilemma question is: Do I cut some of the foam off the bottom, or just squish the amps even more? It's mostly pressing towards the rear where the foam comes to the floor, and over by the cap since it's taller than the amps.
Thanks for any feedback!

please be careful with that foam catching fire. do anything you have to to keep the amps from touching the foam. it's just not worth the risk.

Yep the amps are mounted to MDF that fits and it has foam under it against the spare tire. If you plan it right i think you could get the ED box and some amps around it. Those side pockets also come out and will leave you alot of room.
I looked at putting my amps under the rear seat also but there wasnt enough clearance.
