Default Anybody remove backseats?

I am looking at pulling the back seat out of my ta and making a box for two subs but still be able to seat on them. Has anybody attempted this or have any suggestions?

I want it to flow together and not look choppy.

Good or Bad idea?

A lot of people have removed the back seats.

There was a company making a sub box for that area but I don't remember who it was

I think that it will look good.

I removed the seats with the intention of building a seat delete, but have not gotten around to it.

In the mean time, I'm leaving the bucket part in to look clean, but have the back part in the basement.

Ditto, since 2001:

tomorrow ill be posting up a rough drawing and see what you guys think..i want it to be usable and look good...also the way i'm thinking about doing it you should be able to sit on the subs and not even know they are there. whole thing shouldn't be more then a foot high.

hmmm keep backseats but have subs underneath? that will be very interesting. Def put up a drawing because it seems like it would be too high, but if you can pull something off that would be great

back seats are removed..actually come to think of it my entire interior is out of the car....awaiting ebony pieces to replace poop-tan.

i HATE driving people around like its the ******* circus or some ****. and yeah you definitally look like young punk kids crusing around in daddy's car with 4 people in it. (unless your an older guy but w/e, besides the point)

if someone wants a ride in my car they can take turns in the passenger seat. my car is not a ******* taxi...unless there are hot girls....

Mine are out. I took them out when I deep cleaned the carpet and I really have no intentions of putting them back in. It honestly doesnt look that bad. Plus I have more room for my golf clubs now.

Anybody got pics of how the back looks w/o the seats in? I hate when people are back there. Because when people are back there, they always touch **** and make a mess, bringing grass and **** on their shoes and everything. I don't know if anyone else feels the same, but I hate having people in the back seats.

Im 6'4 and the seat is all the way back so no one could fit behind me, thats one of the reasons why i took them out. They are pointless. The back of the driver's seat was touching the rear seat. Sorry no pics yet.
