moving the rear seat???

[Buffs F-350]

How deep are the w3s the box I have will fit up to a 5" depth and not move the seat. I read in another thread when I first joined that someone removed the rear seat unbolted the mount from it and fliped it around and gained some room. But I have no idea how it would work I have never had a chance to look and dont know if its right.

The W3's require 5.75 inches of mounting depth.
I remeber reading something about turning the seat mount
around too, but I have been unable to locate that thread,
or any additional info about it, If anyone knows how to
do it, or has a link, please post it

It was posted by big rooster in a thread on page three titled sub/subs in extended cab. I found it on the first page.

I used 1" square steel to build a frame for the bottom of the seat. Used lots of gussets and had it powder coated. This moved the seat forward 2". Of course I had to remove the folding steel storage platform. I was able to fit all 3 amps under the rear seat with the additional 1" height the square bar made. As far as the box goes...Just took a tape measure and had at it. A carboard template made to the profile was a help. I also cut out the factory molded carpet below the window. This alone gives 2" of depth. A good covering of Dynomat was a great investment. My other two subs are in the center seat. I stole the idea (shamelessly) from JBL. I built the box box with the subs firing outwards towards the doors and then cut out all the springs and foam necessary for the seat to fit over it. It has about 3" of foam and is fairly comfortable. Good Luck

W3's are NICE

Because
#1 Cheep
#2 Needs little power
#3 Needs a small box
#4 Has great ballance between SPL and SQ

W3's are very nice. I have 4-15 w3 and they give me a headache. I'll try to take some pics....

Haha dont know about being cheap i paid 525 bucks for 2 12W3V3's. They way to move the seat forward by flipping the bracket only works on the 99-03 super duties
