Author Topic: How do you remove the back seat? Amp wiring.... (Read 2383 times)

I am trying to wire some RCA's back to the trunk for a subwoofer amplifier, but cant get past the back seat (and the steel that separates the cabin from the trunk). I have the bottom part of the seat removed, but can't figure out how to remove the back portion. I need to see if there is a way through.

Any advice? Anyone else find a successful passageway for wiring?

:confused: What a bear...

Nevermind. Found a link to this post: http://www.m42club.com/forums/showthread.php?t=539&highlight=subwoofer

Should have searched first ;p Still, wiring comments/advice welcome. Anyone else do a nice self install they want to share?

Headunit is simple - getting all the wires to the back for an amp, then back up to the front for the speakers, is, well, fun. I pretty much gutted the car except for the carpet to run the wires. And the passenger side has it's own challenges, as the battery cable runs there. I ended up running my RCA cables for the amps and the speaker wire down the center console, on the passenger side.

Some day I may take pictures of it.

Finished my install yesterday. It turned out really nice. I was able to run the RCAs down the center console then under the carpet and back seat. There is a small hole in ski panel that i ran them through. easy enough.

Very nice to have the battery in the back! The install is nothing crazy but its clean and sounds good. When its not freezing ill take a pic of it.
