so i took my back seats out over the weekend cuz i need more room to put stuff since i have a giant sub box in the back of my car. I need more room for my back pack and computer when i go to lan parties (noone ever sits back there anyways), but my question is, since theres absolutely no carpet underneath the seats and theres 2 dips in the back where the seats were, i was wondering what would be the best option to fill this in with? i was thinkin about gettin some carpet and just putting it back there, but then i decided i was gonna move my subs up so i can have an easier time getting my backpack out. Maybe a thick board cut to fit the back would be best? what do yall think?

I took my back seats out as well and have the same problem. For a clean look, I was thinking about cutting plywood, line it with carpet and fit it in. Option 2 is get a roll cage made, how sweet would that be...

I had mine out for months it was ugly but they had no purpose and just had to put them back because they took up too much space outside the car. Only thing I noticed is that there are X number of wires for the fuel pump and thats the only bare wires/looming out that I had.

I plan on using each dip as a place to mount each amp and having my car recarpeted to make one giant peice that flows from front to back, then gettin my 3 rear panels redone in CF and remolding some of it to make it look like the back seats never exsisited.

measuring and building a plywood box to cover the dips would be your best option. as a temporary solution, the carpet from your trunk covers the seats very well if you put it in backwards.

I think Bigfoot is blurry, that's the problem. It's not the photographer's fault. Bigfoot is blurry. And that's extra scary to me, because there's a large, out-of-focus monster roaming the countryside.

what about that foam stuff that you can spray to seal cracks or the foam you spray inside of walls? it hardens and you can fill it up with lightweight firm foam. maybe home depot.

you can use foam but 2 things with that....

#1) it has to be removeable
#2) it can't interfer with the fuel pump

ok !

first line the seat dips with cling film or a sheet of polythin, then fill the dips with expanding foam and cover with thick card. you now have a removeable pack for you seat well smile.gif

then cut some ply wood (MDF would be better) and cover in carpet to fit the space which should also now be level with your trunk,,,,,

good sound insulation for the music and good load space .....
