Anyone know how easy/how many bolts it is to remove the rear seats? Im planning on applying some Raammat behind the seats and my trunk lid. Any help would be appreciated.

there are two clips in the front of the bottom seat where u pull it straight upand they come off pretty easy. then you just slide the bottom out and there will be three bolts holding the back in place. undo these and the top will have two clips if you just slide the back up they will come out and the back will be free. ans for the rear deck you will seeclips along the front edge, be very careful pulling these up. you will have to slide center sub enclosure of first before you do this though. then there are clips in the back of the panel holding the rear deck to the window.... bow the cardboard slightly without ripping the fiber board to just pull this towards you and u'll be set.

Taking out the rear seat(s) are easy, I have a few pics from when I took mine out.....

In the pic you can see I have circled a white plastic piece, which is the piece that a metal clip from the front of the bottom seat fits into. There are 2 if you see the red arrow it is pointing off the screen to where the other clip would be, all you need to do it pull up in the area of where these clips are and then just pull out the bottom of the back seat. Don't worry it it not heavy or anything.

You will need a 10mm socket / wrench (if I recall) to remove 3 bolts. In the pic below you can see I have 2 circles and a arrow pointing off the screen. The far left circle and the arrow are the 2 outer most bolts and the circle in the middle is for behind the seatbelt clips. You should be able to see all 3 bolts easily once you get the bottom of the seat out.

If you have any questions let me know, but again its easy, when I was first thinking about taking them out I was thinking they were heavy or really hard to get out but I was very surprised once I got it done on how easy it was.

Hope the pics help, Sorry they are not the best.

Perry, did it make a big difference? Also, did you get your top lid? It sounds like my lid is whats causing the damage.

"Damage"?

It certainly seemed to quiet the car a bit, though the seats do most of the muffling.
Others have done the rear deck, but I didn't.

Hey,
i need to send a cable from my amp(trunk) to the front of the car. Does anyone know how to do this or take the backseat out? I plan on putting it under the trim, but i need to get it into cab first. Please respond soon.

Between the trunk and the back seat is the gas tank. But it's obviously been done before, someone else will chime in here.

As I recall, I had to drill a hole (or enlarge an existing hole) in the top drivers side of the back seat panel to run the 4 gauge power cable to the trunk.

Here is how I ran the red wire through the rear seat area. FYI- It takes 12 ft, 3 inches of cable to stretch from the battery/fuse area to the opening leading to the trunk area you see there. So just add whatever extra you need to reach your amp's trunk location, and that is how long a continuous run of B+ cable you'll need.

sorry it's offtopic..

the power cable is running from the battery to the trunk area but I can't find any space for the cable to hide.
Do you have any pictures of driver seat area if you run the cable from the battery?

Perry, my project is slow but thx for your help it''ll be done soon!
