Default Back seats

Hey has anybody tried taking the back seats completely out of the car. I am going to try this and build a box for storage and subs. Want help!

SEARCH is your friend. Here you go:

From the topic "Removing rear seat help?"

1. Fold the seats down
2. Locate and remove the 4 bolts in the lower corners of each half of the rear seats - this removes the tops of the seats. (** the larger half is tethered via seat belt so unless you want to remove the seat belt, this will not be coming out - I just put mine in the cargo area)
3. Open the 3 tabs in the plastic tray and remove the 3 bolts there
4. Remove the 4 bolts for the bar along the rear seat
5. Push/twist/slide/unhook the little stiff tether towards the middle of the seat cushion holding it to the rear bar
6. Remove the 2 rear bolts for the tray frame by *gently* lifting up the cushions to access the bolts.

At this point you have bare floor/carpet. To pull the tray off the frame, there are 5 light/small bolts you can just take off. If you wish to seperate the cusion from the tray, simply push in the tabs on the 2 clips holding the cushion to the frame.

if you reach under the seat cushion you will fill 1 tab on each side towards the front. Gently pull up and the tabs will pop out. I have removed and re-installed the cushion this way several times while installing amps under the backseat, and there's been no damage thus far.

Hey bigpapa,

Have you have any trouble with the amps overheating with them being located under the back seat??? I thought about that in my 1st gen before someone ran into me but I was always afraid of the amps overheating. the idea of using under the seat in the 2nd gen xB seems to be a good idea if there is no over heating issue. Thanks for any info regarding this topic!!!

No overheating problems so far. The amps I used fit underneath the seat frame so there is still a few inches of clearance above the cooling fins.
