rear seat removal/wiring subwoofer install help please

Hi-

I am now installing the Kenwood mini-woofer.

Can someone provide me with tips to removing rear seat as I want to snake the controller wire into the center console, unless there is a better way to accomplish this.

Also, I'd rather not mess with attaching the switching wire to the ACC wire under dash after having made a mess and near disaster cutting a wire at the computer installing EV mod. So, as long as I am inside the center console, can I hook up the (blue) Kenwood on/off wire to the power outlet wiring to accomplish the same thing? If so, do I splice into the live or ground wire and how do I identify which is which?

I looked through archives and did not find an answer.

I could pay for an install, but so much more fun thrashing through it on my own (with Priuschat help of course).

Sure appreciate the help!

Thanks, so the seat just pops off those clips? Nothing holding it in the back? I can see a bracket of some sort just behind and below the seat and wondered if somehow that needed to be loosened?

Thanks for the links. Unfortunately they are both dead links, at least for me. Nuts.

I will try this. I felt where it seemed to connect at the front of the seat, just a little timid about giving it a good yank. Now I will. Thanks!

Thank you. I had found this post earlier and actually used many of the ideas described. The two things they don'd describe are, naturally, the two things I am trying to figure out. But otherwise, it really helped professionalize my amateur install. Bringing me back to it actually pointed out a couple of tips for things I haven't done yet, like replacing the holding ties with tape for easier pull-through.

Thanks!

Very helpful. I'll give a look at the carpet up front, maybe an easier solutions. I have a multi-meter somewhere around-time to use it!

Thanks!
