Rear Seat Mod, installing the humps Options

[iceman23]

Need a little wisdom from the Interior Guru's here. I just bought 2 Kicker Comp VR 15's and the box they're in doesn't sit right in my trunk. I'm thinking about taking out my rear seats and installing my subs and amp facing the driver in a custom wall. Has anybody else done anything like this, if not in their Celi, than any car?? What's the best material to make the backing out of?? What the best way to seal the rear of it off??

i don't know about what you should make the wall out of...aluminum would be tight...hehe...but um...just from a little bit of experience, you are not gonna get nearly as good of a sound if you do that as you would if you had the speakers in the trunk/hatch facing the rear of the car...that way, the whole hatch is used as a banpass type enclosure, and as the bass hits the rear of the car and reverberates(sp?) back, it is magnified...also, i noticed that the rear-facing also cuts down on noise that the sub may make from occasional bottoming out and what not.
um...maybe you could sort of angle the two in the back or something...or, make a custom hatch enclosure, that would be my first step, but i dunno how often you use the back seats, cause you need to be damn sure you won't need them again.
