i wanna know how can i make my back seat fold down

is this possible.. i know i saw someone hear said that they did this... i want a hole betweeen my back seat and my trunk to that the air that my subs make can have a passage to come out thru the back seat.. any ideas.. pls help

AA cut away the area behind the center arm reat in the back seat, and mounted his sub there. if you want, you could completly remove the rear seat pretty easily, but i dont think you can make it fold up and down or lock. there are only a few bolt holding it up and then there is the trunk lining and a X bar for support.

damn i had not seen that pic.. that looks cool.. ima try doing that this weekend... thanks Mr.Riviera and AA

If you're looking for SPL, your sub might not be as loud in this orientation, so test it first. The transfer function of our car creates cancellation of some lower frequencies in forward-firing application. Sound quality is good, though.

^^^^ what does that mean... i have 2 kicker 15 l7 in a sealed box

What it means is, if you have your box firing into the rear of the trunk, you are enjoying the transfer function of the car. The front seat is the sweet spot because pressure waves reflect off the trunk, building SPL up front. If you turn the box so it fires towards the cabin, the waves bounce off the dash and back into the trunk, so sound pressure builds there instead.

The quality of the bass is great with subs firing forward, but they're just not as loud. I'm happy with a single 8" and 200 watts. With two 15s, you probably would be fine, might have to turn up the bass gain a little to see your usual sound level. Not wise to fire subs forward if you're competing in SPL contests, unless you seal off the trunk completely = very hard to do.

damn.... no wonder ur the administrator of this forum..lol.. thanks alot....

Oh yeah! theres a bunch of vallies above the rear wheels, and behind the head rest is swiss cheese masonite. You could unlatch the back seat and use some straps to drop it and prop it up. but its not a very pretty back seat. and it will do a better job of insulating the sound. Ill take some pics a completely bare backseat and trunk(except for the fuel cell.) so you know what your working with

Aaron, did you ever take pics of your trunk so we can see how your box is set up? If not, would you please.

yeah can u please

The back of the seat is held in with two bolts at the bottom, that also hold the seat belts, and then it hooks at the top, the seat bottom has to come out before you can remove the back. I don't think there would be any way to hinge it unless you modified the bottom also?

i modifided my back seat where it meets the seat belt bolts to sit above it that way the back seat comes out in a snap with the lower back seat.
