    What you see are the seats in their normal driving positions. The lips of the rear floormats are used to cover the amps from any prying eyes.

    And here is what it looks like with everything in place:

    Wow my monoblock is about the same size, would have never thought you could stuff that under a seat. Can you freely move the seats back and forth?

    The passenger's seat has a stabilization bar that is bolted between the runners that needs to be removed, but other than that, the seats move freely and nothing interferes.

    I've also heard that you can invert that bar... thoughts?

    It's about 1" thick black bar that is immediately visible in the center of the underside of the seat. I believe the purpose would be for seat frame rigidity (i.e., keeps the seat from torquing when you scoot it back and forth. If I'm right, all this would do is make it slightly harder to get the left and right portions of the seat locked in place when adjusting.
    I know someone on this forum flipped theirs over, but I don't know if you can feel it when you sit down or go over a bump.

    My passenger's seat still functions perfectly without it.

    Looking to install an amp under the driver's seat (no curtain airbags) but am wondering about the vents under there. Guessing that I will need some kind of separator so the amp doesn't get hot air blown on it but it is pretty tight under there. Any input would be great!
