Amplfier Installation Behind rear seat

I am looking to install my stereo into my 2003 Ram 2500 quad cab and was wondering if anyone could give me a few pointers on how to gain access to the back of the rear seats. I have seen pictures before of the seats folded down and could not figure out how to do that myself. Also, I am new with the diesels and am looking to put on a Intake and Exhaust, I have some ideas but if people have tips due to experience and/or performance please let me know. Thank You!

1st- fill out your signature thru the userCP tab so we know what you have.

2nd- go kick your salesman in the crotch for not showing you how to fold things down. There should be a lever on the side of the seat. I don't know about quad cabs but that is how the mega is.

The only way I know of is to unbolt the seat. Why don't you just mount them under the front seats. Thats where I have both of mine.

they dont fold forward only up to gain access to the cubby holes under the seat or the fold flat. i put my amps under the rear seats behind the cubby holes with no problem.

If you are planning on putting more than one amp or a very large amp behind the seat I would reconsider. There is not allot of room between the cab vents. I took mine out and put in a smaller vent but the cab still pressurizes when the AC is on.
