Default Re: 2nd row change to Capt. Chairs?

I have to estimate that you should be able to recline some with rear wheel well enclosure. The rear storage area of the SUV is raised up some so may hinder reclining some.

In our case we built custom sub enclosures with 4 12" subs. When we decided to go ahead and do the rear captain seat deal we had to lock our seats with very little reclining ability or they would have been taking off expensive paint, shaping of enclosure , and labor already spent. We double checked thinking the next time we do the custom enclosers we would see if the design could be changed to recline the rear captains more. If you have two big subs on each side like ours we have gotten all the recline you can get. If you get smaller twin subs or go to just 2 large subs one on each side we can design them so more reclining is possible.

The seats picked also make a little difference when building sub enclosers. Silverado are a little narrower so fit is adjusted to get a tighter fit towards middle if you want except we used the space for console. I would suggest using Silverado because you can get those seats for allot less than H2 or Caddy seats. Save enough to pay for Katzkin covering. We used the factory seat belts that hang of the H2 wall that were for bench seats. We plugged the shoulder seat harness hole where they come out of the seat themselves. We just all agreed it would be easier this way than trying to cover the hole that would have been left in the side liner.

I do not know much else I can offer. Dragon maybe could offer a little more maybe not. Buy Sliverado seats local or on Ebay. We had a little hard time finding ours.

Good Luck!!
