Amp under the R53 front seats?

Hello all. I'd like to install amps under the front seats of my R53. I've seen a few photos suggesting that there may be a void under the front seat carpets?

Before I go to the trouble of pulling out the seats I thought I'd ask here: Is there a space that would give more room (between the bottom of the seat and the floor) under there?

Thanks for any info you are able to give me!

-Tony

Plenty of room under the front seats. I fit an Alpine PDX-V9 and Audison Bit Ten D under my passenger seat. One picture is with just the amp. The second is from test fitting the Bit Ten.

Disconnect battery before dealing with seats & airbags.

Note that if you have Navigation, its DVD player occupies the space under the passenger seat
