Good news!! I found the Camera with pictures. I'm uploading now and will post some that show more detail on the sub, rear seat delete and amplifier mounting. And sound treatment too.
Please note that bottom of the passenger seat has some sensors and wires that had to be relocated slightly to allow for the amplifier.

The panels for the seat delete are made from Baltic Birch, 1/4" thick with stiffening at edges and panel midspans. I started out with cardboard templates, then went to 1/8 masonite for the patterns used to cut the BB.

I was lazy and did not pictures the doors but a lot of work went into them. The usual CLD tiles, then I created sealed bags with 1" mineral wool; these were adhered to the outer skin above and below the cross beam. These are for taming the all the energy from the backside of SB Acoustics drivers. Mid-bass is strong and tight.

BTW, the MLV used was thinner than usual, at 1/2 lb/sqft. I was willing to compromise a bit to save some weight.

The sub enclosure sides and bottom are contoured to match the curves of the body over the fuel tank. Again, I started with cardboard templates. Lets just say I have a lot of time on this project and researching methods on the DIYMA.COM forums.
