Front bench seat

[scuba]

my Tahoe is gunna get a bpillar wall with my 4 18s within the next year... I'd like a bench seat so I can fit 3 people "me,wife,son". Will a Silverado bench bolt directly into a Tahoe? Or am I gunna have to have a buddy weld up a bracket?

Dear Massive / Abishoff,
Did you guys end-up doing this?

I just did it in my 2013 Tahoe Z71 LT with bose. I removed the console, and installed the front jumpseat.

I'm in the process of putting everything back together, and assumed I would delete the sub, and keep the bose amp sitting on the carpet under the jumpseat. (the Bose amp just barely fits under jumpseat, if you raise the all the front seats with the ~1.5 inch seat lift kit that I'm also installing).

Now that I've read the tips from YukonXL04 (thanks), I'm considering relocating the sub to under second bench, and putting the amp in the dash above the glove box. I'm putting the LS version of the full carpet in the Tahoe when I'm done (which I believe is solid between the passenger and driver, i.e. under the front jump seat), so when I no longer need the front jump seat, I'd like for the amp to not be there.

If you got them, please link/post pics of the sub location under the second bench, and the amp above the glove box.

Thanks in advance.

PS Here is a pic of my Tahoe with the console removed.

Other questions:
1. That box that's sticking out of the carpet-- I was told it is some kind of traction control do-dad-- any issues with covering it with carpet?
2. Any issues with the bottom of the jumpseat being snug directly on top of (and touching) the top fins of the amp?

Thx

One more question: Has anyone relocated the rear AC controls from the original center console? I need all the cupholders the kids can get, so I'm thinking about mounting those controls *inside* the back of the cupholder compartment. It appears there may be just enough room, with the knobs nesting inside each cupholder when closed.
