Here are a couple threads on a total seat lift.

Seat lift kit progress...

rear seat lift? please help

Wow those both seem kinda complicated. Can anyone simplify those down a bit? I should probably wait until does a complete how-to, but its frustrating not being able to lower my back seat because my subs will hit.

I'm thinking about just using 1"X1" square tubing and cutting it to fit between the bolts. May have to get longer bolts and using flat stock for the middle brackets to reach the angled holes.

I needed more than the rubber grommets, so I just stacked 12 washers on top of each other at each end of the seats and tightened them down with nylon nuts so the vibrations won't rattle them loose.

I am noticing a shallow depth speaker will fit not leaving much choice if you look at crutchfield suggestions for 6X9's recently installed amp on factory speakers Blown naturally. need to replace considering surface mount for a wider range of speakers any suggestions? I have a Kenwood DDX514 and an Alpine MRP-F300 powering the doors tweets are powered by the head unit. kicker in the back. want to replace all door speakers and tweets need some ideas or pics of surface mount speakers POWEESE...

It would actually be good if the seat(s) could still lock down after the lift ... The seat when locked down will help the sub box not fly into you in an accident. Of course, maybe most others are securing their box to the Titan anyway; I've got mine in my truck sorta portable, just sitting there under the seat. It's 20"Lx20"W so it doesn't move side-to-side or front-to-back at all. But in an accident, and without the rear seat locked down it could gank me in the head.

I did the rear seat lift in my '05 King Cab. Cost less than $10. The seat's front edge height went from about 9.25" to about 11.5".

I've had several people sit back there, including me, & not one complaint. Actually it seems to me like it could've easily come from the factory this way.

At Home Depot buy:

- 2 packs of the 1-1/2" anti-skid pads (<$3/ ea.)
- 4 of their washers with checkout code "AGB" (I didn't check the size)
- 1 pack of the small washers (see next post for more pics) ($0.99)
- 1 pack of #10-24 x 1" round head slotted screws/ nuts (see next post for more pics) ($0.99)
- 1 pack of lock washers for the #10-24 x 1" round head slotted screws ($0.99)

Remove the four OEM rubber pads.

With a black permanent marker, blacken the edge of each of the four large washers all the way around, otherwise you'll see silver showing when you're done ... and we sure don't want that!

Sandwich a large washer and 2 small washers together between two of the anti-skid pads (see pics #3 & 4 in next post). The small washers are mostly to keep the big washer centered. The whole thing looks like an Oreo cookie: Yum. ... or a very small space craft.

Take a #10-24 x 1" round head slotted screws, put the anti-skid pad sandwich you made on it, put it in place, then put on a small flat washer, then a lock washer, then a nut and tighten it down ... Do this in all four locations. The washers & nuts are pretty hard to get on in the middle two locations, takes some small fingers to thread it on; Keep trying, you'll get it!

You could certainly use just one large fender washer in between the anti-skid pads, if you can figure out what size. I just used what I could find at HD.

Edit: You can use a different number of washers between the "sandwich" to change the thickness if you want your seats higher or lower than how mine turned out.

will this work on the crew cab as well? would like to fit a pair of jl w3v3 under the 60% side of rear bench. they will fit firing down (barely), but would like to fire them forward.

Yes, this will work in the CC. I've done this mod to my truck. My question though is why would you want to forward fire them?

I will also be forward firing mine, as soon as I have time to make a new box that fits under my lifted rear seats. Here's why: If given a choice between aiming your speakers directly at your ears vs any other direction, why wouldn't you want to aim them directly at your ears? That's the most clear, accurate way, even at bass frequencies. Forward firing is aimed much closer to directly at your ears than down firing.

You'll surely still hear bass just fine in a down fired setup, but it will be at least somewhat restricted and affected by restricted frequency propagation and air flow due to the small space and your carpet.

Nothing wrong with down fired, I just prefer the better accuracy and efficiency of forward fired.

My 2 cents anyway.

Edit: tech12volt might have another opinion on this ...
