if it,s the cupra then no there isnt the motors for your electric seats are under there the best place is still in the boot of the car theres loads of room in there to fit anything you want:devil: :sick:

even with the normal seats there still isnt really enough room
underneath the seats to mount a decent sized amp
my advice is stick with the boot
sorry about the info but when i bought my car only the cupra had electic seats as standard now they call all the cars cupra:devil:

I personally think that amps under the seats are a bad idea, since they can get kicked etc.. The boot is a much better place and with the leon there's plenty of room in there.

Genesis, any picks of your install mate, sounds like a serious piece of kit?

I'm going to be adding a Miniblock to my system this weekend, to go with the bridged compact four. Can't beat the genesis amps for looks or sound IMHO... :D :D

Nice one mate.. Glad to see you've gone old skool and not put any multimedia crap in the motor... :D :D

Quite fancy one of the cd700's myself but can't quite afford the £1500 :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek:

Mail me some pics if you have any scanned in. I like to see the in-progress pics as that's the state mine is normally in, as soon as it's finished I start again!!
