Default Installing Amp

How do you install an amp behind the rear seat of a 2011 F150 Supercrew without damaging the back wall?!

most people screw a piece of mdf to the raised portions on the back wall that way it doesnt go thru to the bed. if you pull the piece of padding out, you will see what im talking about. i just put a piece of 1/2" mdf behind the padding, mounted the amp on top of everything, and used the padding to hide my wiring. hope this helps

there's a thread that explains it better, but fold the bottom half up, then reach behind the seat beside the headrest but lowere and theres a bracket. has a little **** that you have to pull up. its kinda hard but should be able to get with your thumb. also that thread explains how to add a handle to it and stuff, but one you do it once and realize what to do, its a piece of cake
