Higher end kick **** SQ HU that I can get CHEAP-couldnt pass it up. I dont need anything with a screen and navigation and all that stuff.
1/2 is like borderline ok/not ok Id say. Im not exactley sure how that would work out. I try to get at least 1" between the sub and the box like you guys too.
I will try to get that measurment for you in awhile. Ill tell you right now though, I have 2 1/4 inches between the bottom of my box and the floor, and I think thats about the minimum you would want to go, just to give you an idea. Once some power gets on it probably more, because this thing isnt moving close to what I know it can.

2 1/4" is about all the room I can give the MAGs...if I go that route. Did you check out the diymas that ga foo posted. They look pretty nice...I got the pre order code and might order a couple...only $150 each.

Those DIYMA's do look somewhat impressive. I say you should grab one or two and let us know what they are like.
Should easily fit under the seat.
On a different note, I cant find any darn D5's. I think I need to start looking for something more available. Anyone have any ideas on some nice cheaper (300ish or under) amps that do 150ishx2 and 1000ishx1. A lot of ish's there.

Bryan, is it best to take the seat back off to install the kit? Since you have already done it, I just want to make it as umcomplicated as possible.
This is a good looking kit by the way. Nice finish on all the parts.

I'm trying to remember everything I did different so I can help you better. Do you have your PM's enabled? If so, I'll PM you my cell number in case you have a question or something.
Thanks for that. I sent you a pm. Nothing looks too scary but, just in case.

I just finished up installing the seat lift kit. No big surprises. Just a couple of snags. The passengers side rear bolt, the very long one, was locktited and was a royal pain to get that thing out. I made sure and scrubbed it down good to put it back in. I did not have a 50mm torx bit and used a 1/4 allen wrench. All the bolts came out except the one under the passengers side seat front. I almost ruined it and had to run and get a 50mm at the parts store. I almost thought I had done it all for nothing because that bolt would not move but, finally I got it. As Bryan pointed out, the fit is not perfect. I had to use washers on the rear mounts on both sides but, the directions said I may need to. Also, there were no washers at all in the kit and I added some here and there. A few places would be hard to tighten down good without some large washers. I also used some longer bolts for the pivot arm mounting bracket. The ones they sent were not going to work with mine. Too short. Overall, the kit looks good and was not very difficult to install. Be advised, you loose a lot of headroom. The leg room is still very good but, when I sit in the back seat, I maybe have an inch to the headliner. Be careful over those big bumps with someone tall in the back.
Now, the planning stage starts. I still need to get the Arc 12" sub from the Mustang and start cutting some wood.
