Has anyone attempted to fiberglass the under part of the back seat. And added with a 2" seat lift? How much free net air space were you able to achieve. I'm going to attempt this soon and need a solid .8CF Net for a Hertz MPS 300 S2 12. Any feedback would be appreciated.

why do you want to do this? the rear seat head room isnt the greatest and you want to make it smaller for what reasoning?

Any mod like this will wreck the resale value of your truck, unless you remove it completely first. Make sure you do not permanently mess up the factory seat and mounts. I am pretty sure you won’t find any pre made kit because of the headroom issue…

Maybe you should explain why you don’t want to use one of the much easier behind the seat back setups.

Are you experienced with fiberglass layup and familiar with its serious health hazards?

If I understand correctly, you are trying to raise the back seat by 2" to fit some audio gear? I don't know that you need fiberglass for that, but that's going to be very involved to retain a safe back seat. Do you actually need a back seat or would it be better to remove it for your uses?

It’s been measured and it’s no where near .8, don’t think anything bigger than a 10” will fit under the seat.

Wait - all that for a $*&ing speaker?

You do you, I guess.
