Anything Under Backseats--pics

I just took out my backseats and I've been trying to figure out if there's any thing running under there b/c the contours of the floor dip at the backseat so you can't see it from underneath the car but I'm going to be drilling 2 holes at the spot where the seat bolts are (but on the flat surfacewhere you can see from the trunk).
Any help is appreciated.

15 views and no replys? I'm building the box this weekend so I really need to know what's under the backseats. Thanks

Gas tank

Is the gas tank right under the seat bolts? b/c that's where I'll be drilling the holes at and one hole will be drilled at the front of the backseats where there's a metal lump contour to the floor.

Yea i think that it is pretty much right under there
if your carfule you might be able to just drill trough the sheet metal and not hit the take but to get to the bottom you would have to drop out the tank

how about you just drill holes somewhere else.........i dont think id "try" to be careful and not drill into my tank.....

Reason I asked is because I'm building a wall with 4 Atlas 15"s in my backseat and the only place to bolt the dancefloor to the floor is at the seat bolts and at the metal lump at the front of the backseats. If anyone else has any ideas-feel free to share.

i dont think i'd "try" either....remember that video with the VW burning up....well multiply that times 100 cause you're gonna blow the gas tank....lets see, gas tank....metal....drill....spark....BOOM!!!

We just fabricated a box to house 4 15" Kicker L7's im my alero. the easiest and safest way to do any drilling there is to drp your tank then grind the bolt under there after you are done the put your tank back.

yea the gas tank is where under the back seat is located and the exhaust pipe on the driver side.

Wait....If your going to be drilling holes right near the tanks already existing mounting holes...why dont you use a brace like a Bolt hole..piece of metal that extends then another hole..and use the tank bolts for 2 purposes...then theres not drillling required except in the box/wall itself..do you get what Im saying..It makes sense in my mind :-P

Uno-Are you saying get an extended bolt that fits in the seat bolts that'll be long enough to get through the 3/4" MDF and use the 4 seat bolts as points to hold the box down?

Edit-Also, when you take out the backseats and the metal is exposed under the seats, there's a big hump at the front of the backseats that's directly in the middle of the car, I was thinking possibly using uno's idea and then secure the box at the front by using some 2 1/2" screws to go thru this hump if there's nothing under it??

Yea, something like that, something that utilizes the existing holes for supports. lol Im glad you understood what I was saying cuz I confused myself typing that :-P

I have to say, try Uno's idea. If you can use existing holes then you have saved yourself some trouble. If not, then drop your tank. It is not that big of a deal. Just lengthly. The worst part is getting the gas out of the lines. Remove your fuel pumps fuse and start the engine. It will help to burn up some of what is in your line. If you don't drop the tank, I suggest filling it up before drilling. It will be safer in case you do punch through. Remember that gas does not burn well. The fumes are the part that sparks easier. A filled gas tank will be less likely to explode. And use a bar of soap on the drill bit. It acts as a barier and reduces sparks and heat.

fasten your wall in front of where the rear seat would go, where the footwell is... or drop your tank, DO NOT drill under where the rear seat is.

That's what i needed to hear man-thanks
