1) are you guys just drilling into the back of your rear seats or what? is it messy to leave extra slack on the cable so i can fold the seat up and down?

2) i thought about the factory shaker 1000 amp mounting location, but there isnt really anywhere to bolt it to. i saw a guy put a piece of wood back there n bolt it to the wood, but im not interested in doing that.

+1 for back of rear seat. That's where I put my sub amp; no issues.

I did have to leave a bit of slack in the wiring, but I also bundled the power/ground/turn-on wires together and fed them down into the carpet, and it doesn't look bad at all. I can open and close the rear seat all day long with no issues.

I just think that sounds like a terrible idea. My $.02.

No, you're not understanding. Back of the REAR seat, not back of the front seat. Amp would be in the trunk

Yep just screw it to the back to the rear seat. Make sure you leave enough slack in the wire so you don't mess anyting up if you need to pull the seat down.

Well, don't I feel like a dumb ***. My bad, I was picturing you guys mounting these to the back of one of the front seats! Ok, that works, too!

My 98 had hard plastic backing plates inside the rear seats that made it perfect for mounting. Here's the only pic I have of it...
