Lifting the rear seat

[Kania2k1]

Has anyone lifted the rear seat in their trucks? I was considering putting a 2"x2" square tube steel, maybe a 3"x2", having holes drilled in it to attach to the existing bolt holes. I wanted to do this so I can built a speaker box to fit 2 12" JL Audio subs, and I need about 7 or 8 inches of mounting depth, or 12"-13" under the front edge of the seat. Any ideas? thanks

Ive heard of it being done before, seen it done in alot of Dodges, but not in person with the GMC/Chevy's, Let me know how your project is going, send pics, ([email protected]) Im interested since I have 2 JL W6's 10" sitting in my garage collecting dust that I wouldnt mind installing.

Hi guys. I am too new to the forum to start a new thread, so was hoping to try my luck at resuscitating this one. I need 7.5" of mounting depth for a 10 inch sub, and I dont know if I can pull that off under the rear seat of my ext. cab sierra with the bench at stock height. Thanks.

Should be able to.

Does anybody have any pics of or experience with lifting the rear seat. I'd probably only need an inch or two. I don't have the sub yet but I am just trying to cover all my bases. This will also be my first custom audio attempt, so the fewer surprises the better.

I have those exact boxes in my EC. They look and sound great and hold up really well. I got two singles because the are easy to remove if you need to put up the seat and need the floor space.

 

I got mine off of eBay about two years ago (new from the manufacturer) for about $40 a piece, shipped. Might want to check there first.
