That looks amazing!!

Did you do it yourself or was it done by professionals at the audio shop?

I want to sound proof my car like that (just so that it becomes extremely quiet in the car) and am curious as to how you took out the front seats (assuming you did it yourself).

OK guys i'm going to slow down on all these new treads I'm starting, but to answer some questions I'm not doing it myself. I have a real good friend that gave me an amazing deal redoing my car from the head unit to the trunk. He is rated #3 installer for his company in the US and he want to get his name out there. I will make a list when it is completed which should be Monday or Tuesday. I didn't do the TVs in the airbag or the sun visors . I just want real clean mids and highs and real clean deep bass most of all i want a quality set up. I'm just now posting pic, some of the things I'm putting on my car i bought and waited to put on or together. Hameed my brother and the guy putting my audio in took the seats out so if you would like to know i can find out for you.

Default Seat removal

Removing the seat is fairly easy. I removed mine today for my audio upgrade I am doing myself. The seats are removed so I could run the wiring securely and neatly. I recommend sliding the seats all the way forward and removing the rear bolts first. You will see small slits in the bolt caps, that is where the catch is that holds the caps. Gently and carefully pry near the slits and the cap should pop off. Remove the bolts. Slide the seats all the way to the back and tilt the seat back slightly forward (nearly upright) then disconnect the negative battery cable. My seats have the side air bags in them and I am not sure if all of them do but just in case, disconnect the battery cable since you may be disconnecting an air bag connector. Remove the front bolt caps and the front bolts. Tilt the seat back to expose the wiring harness and disconnect all of them. The seats can now be removed but be careful, they are heavy. I had to rotate mine until they were pointing to the side to remove them without damaging the seats or the car.

I ordered sound deadening mat but it has not arrived yet. I did not intend to do the floor anyway. With the carpeting and thick padding, I don't think much road noise comes from there. My matting is for the doors which I may not even get to this weekend.
