1. Lift up the bottom seat cushion (from the front edge). You should be able to just pull it out because they're held down by clips.
2. Remove (4) 12mm bolts at the bottom.
3. Remove the headrest and lift up the leather flap. There should be a 12mm nut that needs to be removed. There are 2 total...1 per headrest
4. Take a flathead screwdriver and gently pry the plastic thing at the top of the seat. Once you open it, remove the seatbelt.

Now you're able to take out the seat. It makes it a lot easier if you remove the (3) 14mm bolt that holds the seatbelt to the chassis. That's the basic rundown. I'm sure you'll be able to get it out.

What's a subwoofer board? are you talking about the rear deck panel, or the subwoofer's grille?

Sorry I can't help you with that. My car is a 99 and it doesn't have that. Mine is just a straight piece of board without any clips on it.
