Amp Placement

Does anyone know what type and size tool I need to take the driver's seat out? I take it that all I need to do is take out the 4 star or allen screws/bolts, and then unclick the wire harness, if it unclips? Also what is the best way to attach the amp under the driver's seat. I am looking for a way so I don't have to attach it by screwing or bolting thru the cab floor. Is there really any other way?

Dunno about taking the seat about, but for the amp, how about velcro'ing to the carpet under the seat ???

would that actually work? Would the heat from the amp make the glue from the velcro run or get all goey on the amp itself?

A decent amp shouldn't get all that hot. Plus it's not like you'd be putting the velcro directly on the heatsinks. What other option is there? Hot glue?

Cool

Seat bolts will require a Torx bit, T55 size.

As far as the amp mounting, this is from a posting I did in answer to a question from you not too long ago...

I put mine under the back seat (extended cab). Works pretty good, no over-heating problem. The pisser is getting the back seat(s) out.
