I would like to run an IB sub setup in my new vehicle (2015 honda accord coupe) but I'm unsure if its a smart idea to cut the rear seat back. In previous vehicles w/ a 60/40 split rear seat I would lay down one of the rear seat sections. However, this vehicle the entire rear seat back is steel and does not have a split section that I can lower. Also, there is not a pocket arm rest in the center of the rear, like most sedans, which people commonly vent through.
- Can I remove a section of metal and vent through the foam/leather seat?
- For low frequencies I think I would be fine...
- How much metal should I remove?
- Some percentage of SD?
- Are there any safety concerns I should have when removing some of this metal?
- passenger safety? (who actually has passengers in a coupe
- I assume the function of steel is noise barrier and maybe some sort of fire barrier?
I'm having difficulties finding examples of other builds that have done this.
