Going to be installing a 10 point cage soon and no longer want rear seats or passengers due to the danger factor.
Curious what others have done after removing the rear seats? The rear seat base looks like a great place for a couple sub boxes, or a panel to mount stereo amps. Let's see what you have built.
Build a car for racing, then add pointless weight? Is it really that important your tunes be that loud? I know it's an unpopular opinion, but worth considering.
Not planning to gut everything to build a dedicated light weight race car only. Fully understand the concept, but not the path I am going. If I want a faster ET I will just install a smaller pulley.
Car will be multi purpose which will include a bit of street driving, possibly even travel to/from tracks, which are a couple hours drive away. So yes, rocking tunes are required here. Thinking of building something that mounts to the rear seat mounting locations which could easily be pulled prior to race time.
Remember that behind the rear seat resides the gas tank and any work you do there should always keep that fact involved. No screws should be protruding towards the fuel tank. No welding should be done to that area with the tank in. No cutting of the area should be done with anything but tin snips w/o the tank removed. That being said, there is no reason to use that area for amp mounting unless it is a big stereo system. You can mount an amp or two in the spare tire area and put a single or double sub in the trunk well. That's the way I did it and am happy with the choice.
I removed my seats and replaced them with a sub box and amps. I made a wooden 2x4 frame utilizing the rear seat mounting bolt locations as my main structural support. The sub box is simply screwed into this frame.
That is an old picture. The seat belts and stuff have been removed now too.
Nice job Youngs92! That is very close to what I was envisioning. My amps are already mounted in the spare tire location, so they may not get moved. Are you able to remove your box if /when wanted? Mounting location?

Man I love this install, I been looking for over a month to find one like this and you are the first. Very nice and clean. Can you show more pictures? Also, can explain a little more how you built it.
