There are quite a few rules regarding the sub box and what class you get put in.
In particular the 'window line rule' which states the enclosure isn't allowed to be higher than the front windowline of the car or shall be deemed a wall. The enclosure must also be behind the 'B' Pillar of the car to be legal. You can remove back seats or put your box ontop of them but you will be placed in Street Max or above. Box in boot and under window line will usually keep you in the lower 'Street' classes but there are also factors not based on enclosure.

You'd have to have the box behind the rear seats, with them able to be fully locked into place to be able to compete in Street B. As Charger said, you'd be in Street Max or above by having them on your rear seats.

Ask away! It keeps the forums active which is good exercise for our brains

Yes you can fold your seats down for your run, providing they can be folded back up and 'click' into place without being interfered by enclosure/amps/batteries etc..

Cheers charger Rad and team manual shed for making me feel welcome....
