Exclamation Supercrew Backseat Removal

I need to remove the rear seat to put an amp behind there. I have searched but only found directions for a supercab. Are they any different? There is something about a mini-buckle that I don't see. And there are some other steps that didn't seem to make sense. So far I have removed the middle seat buckle housing top and 2 bolts. That's as far as I got.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

The only other thing you have to do is release the two clips (one on each lower corner) and lift it up and out. It is very hard to explain how to do it until you actually do it.

Thanks guys. I finally got it. After a lot of cursing and punching the seat. The drivers side was super easy because my clip was not really fully open. I just had to tap it and it came up. The passenger side, well that's another story. But it's out. And I'm totally zip-tie-ing those ****** in case I have to adjust my amp. Glad that's done with!

I cut the top of the clip off so mine slides right in and out.

Do you have any problems with it not being secure enough? I'm thinking I might zip tie them for now just in case I want to click it down real good in the future.

Also, how did you mount your amps back there? I see you have a piece of wood against the cab. Could I have some more details?

I don't have a problem with the seat back not being secure. It stays in place just fine. No problems.

Because the back wall isn't flat, I used 1/4" MDF to mount my amps on so that it gives me a flat surface for the amps to mount to. This helps with ventilation as well. I also relocated my power window motor (flipped it over and moved it more towards the sealt belt bracket).

EDIT: I only used strips of MDF on the ends for the amps to mount to. I just looked at my pics and it looks like a whole sheet behind the amp, but there's not. Just behind the crossovers.

Is it double walled or are there screws out the back of the cab? When I was young and clueless I had a stereo shop put my very first sub and amp into my S-10. They simply sunk sheet metal screws into the back (single) wall which were plainly visible when looking through the cab/bed gap from the side. I thought this was just too ghetto looking, and I fought moisture getting into the cab as a result. I siliconed the holes and used 1/4 inch plywood wedged into place to secure the amp on the wall. I am thinking about epoxying something to the back wall this time. I don't want to deal with the moisture even if you can't see the screws on these trucks.

For the most part it is double walled. I have no screws sticking out the back of my cab.
