Has anyone ever used a sedan for a no-wall setup. Basically removing back seat and placing box in its place? I'm thinking of doing this with my 15" Shocker Super Extreme. The box was too big for the trunk so it will go in the place of the back seat.

Does anyone have any experience with replacing back seat with Sub box? Were the results good?

I'm not a DB Drag competitor but I will be in the Modified Class 2 division in MECA. Any help or advice is so greatly needed. Thanks.

I am pretty sure it's a 4 door. Josh Jones also used one the year before last.

I may come by tomorrow to chat with you. I'm assigned to Andrews and I've been to your shop a couple of times. Except now I'm in a different car.

Scraper,

What's your schedule looking like?

I am currently using a DD9515e in a box in my back seat. it's loud but if you want to do that make sure you seal off your trunk air tight to decrease the cabin size.

That came to mind. I was going to put some MDF behind the back seat to seal off from the cabin. I think it should work.

I was thinking of having removable panels to seal the trunk from the cabin. I know you build boxes. Do you have some spare pieces laying around that we could possibly cut out to place in the rear deck and behind the back seat to seal off the trunk?

Cool, I'll have to place it back in the back seat though. I use my 12" HC at the moment. Shocker is currently collecting more dust at home.
