Hey guys, I'm new here and just picked up my 06 RTL with 120k on it about 2 months ago. I've already done a number of projects on it, and have been finding everything I needed here and already laid out in steps heh. Its been great but now I need some input.
I'm looking for a way to get just a bit more clearance under the rear seats. I installed some subs, but the box was a little tall and it puts the subs fairly close to the bottom of the seat in the far back. I put some little white marks that are easily removable on each of the 4 corners of the sub (square kickers) and turned it up to operating volume and after checking, I noticed that it flexes just enough for the back of the subs to barely touch the bottom of the seat in the very back. The seat angles up as it moves forward, so plenty of clearance in the front. I already have cut out some of the plastic trim where the seat bar latches and have the box scooted up as much as I can but still need like a half inch to an inch if possible. I was wondering whether anyone had any good suggestions or have encountered this before.
I was thinking about putting some washers as spacers in between the floor and the bracket that attaches the seat bar to the floor, as to raise it up a little and hopefully it would pivot enough on the rear hinge to give me the space I need. Let me know what you guys think!
Attached is a poorly taken photo I happened to have that may clarify the issue.
