You don't want to cut that. A box in back would be best. It also wouldn't need a good location for anything but a sub-woofer as the sound would be very muddled. I have Miata seats, those work well. Otherwise, you need to get mid-range and high end up without obstruction to be able to hear. On Sun, Sep 23, 2018, 3:37 AM PaulHunt73 wrote: > Small ones in the door cards as per the factory.
