I installed car electronics professionally from 1994-2001 and again from 2003-2005. So about 9 years roughly. Ive done basic radio installs to full on competition (SQ & SPL) systems. Im glad I finally got out of the game, lol.
I respect the opinion that its not good to mount things under a seat. But I think its ok to mount items under the seat as long as you take the things mentioned into consideration.
*Use common sense
*If it dont fit dont force it
*Plan on running ground out to another location
*Plan on keeping the car clean and removing the seat as often as necessary to clean the area underneath
*Dont eat messy foods in the car. Its ok to go inside McDonalds and sit down to eat. Thats what they have those tables in there for..
*Be sure it will be inaccessable to passengers (wether intentional or accidental)
*Be sure it fits well enough that the seat can move its full travel in all directions with a passenger sitting in it
*If you take your truck (or car for that matter) mudding or across rivers, find a higher location
*Verify there is nothing in the way if you plan to drill. Ive seen gas tanks and air bag modules with screws through them.
*If its raining keep the windows rolled up, duh
*Fart all you want its not gonna hurt a thing plus it feels good
Every situation is different. I tried to slide my laptop under the seat but it wouldnt fit.
