please anyone help. i have a 15" sub and box that needs to fit in through this gap!!!!!!!!! i cant figure out how to get the fold down section of the seats out!

 

ya good luck man i work in a body shop an we had to take the seats out of one there a bitch i swear theres bolts in there hard to get an there clips in the worse spots to get too

 

I don't know if your going to fit a 15 in there even with the back seats out. If you want to just take the upper part off, theres pins where the pivot point is on the sides of the seats . If you want to take the whole thing out theres 4 bolts that hold it in 2 of which are visable the other two are right under the seat in the back

 

Maybe I'm missing something but...
If you're talking about a Cobalt and all you want to do is pull out the sections that fold down, THAT'S EASY.
There are cliptabs on either side when you fold them down. All you have to do is push those towards the outside of the car and pull up on the section you're trying to get out.

 

Yea what he said, very easy, just look to the side of the seat where they hinge, push the clip, pull up, slide out. PIE!!!

 

takes maybe 2 mins

 

The question is, Are you going to be able to shoe horn a 15" sub and box in there without removing that metal bar at the bottom? If you have to remove the whole seat then those two bolts that sit under the actual seat are a bitch to get out and worse to get back in, and even if you do get them out and get the side parts out from under the plastic without damaging it, then you either have to only pull it out a few feet or rip the whole power wire from the battery out because it runs right through the middle of that bar.

When I had a box with 1 12" in the trunk just removing the seats by the clips didn't give me enough clearence, I had to take the seats/bar out to get it in (and out), so I'm guessing if you want to attempt to get a 15" in there the whole seat is going to have to come out.

 

like spun said ur probably gonna have to rip that metal bracket out to fit the box in. I forget how hard it is to take out because ive done it a million times.

fyi the max dimensions of the opening are around 30X16

 

now that i went back and did it i saw the tabs right away, the box is gunna fit in just fine now, thanx jumpin fool and crew

 

i have a 2008 cobalt ss is this the same procedure and does anyone have a pic?

here we go i figured it out


ok ok.. so how to i get the seat bar out.. i dont want to trim my interior lol

 

un bolt it and work it out. Its tight but it has to go in after the trim panels, hence removed first) trust me

 

go to the how to section: search weight reduction for the track. its a thread by anomolous there is a video how to.

 

i got two 15's in my trunk im sure its not hard to get one in there

 

what the... kick pods?

 

haha just build a smaller box
i have a 15 in mine and it slides right in

 

Hows the rattle with that 15 pointing up at the deck lid and from what I can see no sound deading material

 

i on;y got 600 watts to it and doesnt rattle to much
i dont care for to much bass
and yes i know it is a 15
i am gonna get just a little 10 to put back there
for now that is all i have

 

lol my car is stripped down to bare metal now o0oo0o0o0o0o0o0oo0o0o

its pretty funny

 

**** that in the winter.

 

it was a toasty 76F out today lol

 

oh **** ur in FL. didnt even look. i guess its not bad in that case. I remember driving with nothing in the car except the drivers seat... not bolted down mind you

 

iv noticed a significant increase in gas millage lol, im kinda not looking forward to weigh it down with even more weight than stock again

 

really? i havent noticed any change in any gas mileage or anything throughout having my car. but i havent payed much attention either

 

really really. i took out a big ol pile of stuff from my car.

 

oh lol i thought it was just the interior and ****
