[QUOTE="keep_hope_alive, post: 8308835, member: 576029"] the factory rear seat has a hard plastic cover behind the armrest and a solid metal backing. i've noticed SUBSTANTIAL bass reduction with the seat up vs. down. in all of my cars, i make the rear arm rest a pass through for bass. this car is no exception. luckily, Honda built this car to be re-upholstered with minimal effort. fabric just clips in place. pretty nice. two 12mm bolts hold the rear seat in place [IMG]http://i38.photobucket.com/albums/e128/phat_funky_beats/2014%20Accord%20Sport/AccordRearSeatHole009.jpg[/IMG] fabric has hard plastic lips that clip over metal tabs [IMG]http://i38.photobucket.com/albums/e128/phat_funky_beats/2014%20Accord%20Sport/AccordRearSeatHole001.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i38.photobucket.com/albums/e128/phat_funky_beats/2014%20Accord%20Sport/AccordRearSeatHole002.jpg[/IMG] the sides have interlocking plastic guides separating black from charcoal fabric, they separate easily [IMG]http://i38.photobucket.com/albums/e128/phat_funky_beats/2014%20Accord%20Sport/AccordRearSeatHole003.jpg[/IMG] the plastic piece just sits in place. i lifted the bottom out then rotated to remove the top [IMG]http://i38.photobucket.com/albums/e128/phat_funky_beats/2014%20Accord%20Sport/AccordRearSeatHole005.jpg[/IMG] rear metal exposed [IMG]http://i38.photobucket.com/albums/e128/phat_funky_beats/2014%20Accord%20Sport/AccordRearSeatHole006.jpg[/IMG] rear metal cut with a dremel and cutting wheel [IMG]http://i38.photobucket.com/albums/e128/phat_funky_beats/2014%20Accord%20Sport/AccordRearSeatHole007.jpg[/IMG] BXT II deadener to lower resonance and a layer around all sides of the opening so it's smooth and safe. [IMG]http://i38.photobucket.com/albums/e128/phat_funky_beats/2014%20Accord%20Sport/AccordRearSeatHole008.jpg[/IMG] you can't see it but in the bare picture above there are some tack welds on either side of the new hole. there is a metal bar running vertically there. the rear seat metal has the ability to rattle against that bar. so i crammed some fabric between the two in three places along each (Between welds). it was audible while knocking on the metal. it is silent now. reassembled with ease - there was factory black fabric behind the plastic cover so no additional work was required.
