I tried it was kinda difficult so i tried attempting, ill try again later when i get a friend to be able to help move it around easier, putting in from the back seat doesnt seem too hard considering i have a sedan (opposed to a coupe anyway which would seem difficult)

im attempting it and its not working..i literally need another inch of room and im cleared..is there any way to remove the back seats completely?

on each side there is a tab yo uhvae to press out of the way with a screw driver and then pull up, the center comes off a peg just by sliding

It took me and a friend, but I got my 2 Memphis 12's with a big box through the back seat. Just took a few different angles and some manpower.

everyone has sorta forgot to ask how big is the box. fitting 2 12s in there is easy but your box may be too big to fit.

I have a 15" Diamond D3.4 in a ported L box. the box dimensions are 40" long 18" deep and 16 3/4" tall. i had 42" to spare wall to wall in my trunk, but i made it fit ;]. the only way to get it in was remove all of the back seat, even the lower seat belt harnesses. im hitting 141db at 52 cycles per second on a JL Audio J2500.1 and a kenwood excelon headunit. not sure the model number on head unit. I will post pictures soon.

I ran 2x kicker l7's in a kicker ported box . I had a hard time struggling to get them in. I removed the back seats. There is a gray cardboard type thing behing the seats. That covers the rear speakers. move that up a little bit and theres a steel beam sorta thats stopping it from going into the trunk. I just used a pair of tin snips and cut it and bent it up. that worked for me .

Had my large ported box in my LT, had to remove the seat backs to fit it in thru the back part.

that beam you cut is the strongest point in the car... i hope you welded it back because if you get in a wreck, its gonna be bad without that strong point.

My whole install of amp and sub box took a total of 4 almost 5 hours from start to finish. takes time to get it right the first time.
