why not use a hole saw to put several holes in the rear seat, so it was still usable?

I had a beretta with a rear cupholder that folded down, with a hard plastic rub in the seat, i sealed the sub box up against the rear seat panel, drilled several large holes (prolly used a deadbolt hole saw?)) and when you set in the back , you could feel the subs puffing thru the holes
I asked the 40yr veteran amp repair tech what he uses. He said Windex (standard blue) sprayed on the PCB, let rest, then brush gently (I used a nylon detail brush). Then rinse with DI or RO water. Then put under heat lamps/fans for 3 days.

Making holes in the seat foam is a great idea also. Certainly, that would let the seat be more usable. I considered leaving sections of foam. Since I didn't cut the covering, I can source a replacement rear seat in any color (i.e. black) and just replace the cover if I want to return to stock. But my new plan will have two IB subs instead of one so I need to open up the foam on the passenger side an will likely do holes since a rear passenger is possible on that side.

In my past builds on my last 3 cars, I used the rear seat armest space (aka ski pass-thru). Two of those required I make my own pass-thru, while one had an actual door (2001 Accord).
