Rear Seat Removal or Rear Speaker Deck Access?

All:

Since I'm not getting any traction on my other thread. Does anyone know how to remove the seats on this car? The goal is to get to the rear deck speakers. If there's an easier way I'm interested! But it seems to me the only way to get to the rear deck is by removing the seats. I've been at a stand still for some time. Are there no mechanics on the forum?

You sir, are the man! Thank you. Someone mentioned something about the Burmester sending bass to the front speakers not the rear typically. I guess I should give some history... I had an aftermarket amp installed, with the intention of connecting my sub. We've done this a million times on Porsche, Jaguar, Mercedes, Phaeton. Never an issue. But this car, for some reason it's as if the Burmester is not allowing my sub to do it's thing somehow. My friend who has done all my installs thinks we need to bypass the factory amp all together and tap a speaker directly. So it only made sense to tap rear deck speakers since it's closest to the trunk where the factory and aftermarket amp is located. Now someone on the forums seems to think we need to tape a front speaker because the low frequencies are sent their vs rear.

That said...do you have any insight? Or can you provide instructions for access to the front speaker(s)? I know, never satisfied right.

Here's the other thread that started this. https://mbworld.org/forums/s-class-c...install-2.html

No insight on aftermarket, hopefully attachments will help sought it out.

These service diagrams are awesome! Do you have similar diagrams specific to S550 cabriolet (A217)? Thanks in advance.
