    Well,I started installing one of my amps under the seat, and it seems that in most positions, the airbag seat position sensor rubs/the amp when changing seat positions. When initially fitting/measuring,I thought it was going to avoid it.
    Is there a way to move this sensor and still retain its functionality, or am I screwed? I expected some resistance on the passenger side (when measuring for the second amp that will be mounted under that seat), but really thought I was in the clear under the driver's seat...

    Any insight would be greatly appreciated, so I can finish this and start enjoying it :)

    Install went well. By pulling the amp outboard while drilling the first hole, I realized that the forward left bump in the carpet is just a formed bump; nothing was underneath. Plenty of room...

    Taking the bar off of the underside of the passenger seat, cutting the dog ears off, turning the bar and rerouting the seat belt receptacle cable, allowed easy mounting of the second amp.

    The area under the seats is now home to a Soundstream Rubicon 4.600 and 1.400, with room to spare.

    While adjusting the gains with an oscilloscope, found that the head unit subwoofer RCA is dead; waiting on replacement...
