Possible you think?
Possible for sure, depending on the slider motor and arm rest....
If I was getting a new truck, I would have to pass on the power slider, works sometime, sometime it don't, center glass rattles its @ss off with strong bass... I would take a Priv. tinted rear defrost over the power slider... but thats me....

Hey truck'in,

Do you notice any noticable difference in exterior noise with the back wall cover removed? (where your amps are installed) I think i will have to remove mine and want to see what the result would be.

Zapco Reference 750.2..

Dimensions: 23"L x7.5"W x 2"H

It's about 4" inches or so too long. Between the rear slider, the rear armrest, the rear safety module, I'm screwed. My Zapco fits if I don't want the seat reinstalled properly. It's extremely secure, but I know in the back of my mind that it's not perfect.

I went to install my 4-channel Alpine MRP-F240 amp this past weekend, and because of the size of the zapco, and again the rear slider and rear armrest and safety module, I can BARELY fit it back there anywhere. It is right now mounted directly under the safety module, and barely fits behind the large black clip for the rear set. Yeesh.. I thought this was going to be easier...

I removed mine to drill my holes and note my mounting locations. Then I applied a layer or two of edead, and then replaced the cover and then mounted the amps on top of the cover..

it will fit. along the passenger side of the wall. the headrest posts will need to be trimmed but the amp will fit. i never move my headrests anyways so i could cut them i dono if you adjust yours or not.

If the safety module you are talking about is the BCM, it can be relocated under the drivers side rear pillow cover.. thats where mind is now....

I moved the BCM up and had trouble getting the seat to catch on the corner, so I moved it behind the rear driver side pillar cover and remounted it their.....
