I think so, i mean i fold it all the way down until it stops, but didn't put a bunch of weight on it to smash it down. Ever at that point I reached my arm under there and it was still plenty of wiggle in the wires.
Got it. My point was to fold it fully and don't hit the sub. I am going to load seats :) Tested it a couple of times already, looks fine :)

Hey everyone, new member. Picked up a 2022 Big Bend last week. The six speaker system is lacking at best so I put in a mini sub today. I'm not a fan of putting a sub in the rear cargo area with the top down and easy access (lesson learned from my younger days with a jeep where my sub got stolen), so I wanted something discrete to fit under the seat. Finding something that would work with 4 door was difficult until I stumbled across this Pioneer TS-WS010A mini sub. This combined with replacing the four 4" speakers with Alpine S-S40 was perfect. I made a video of the sub install. I'm no Scorsese but hopefully it helps. Thanks to all those who post on here because the information from everyone else's efforts was incredibly helpful.
-In the video I forgot to note the wires I tapped into: Left Midrange-Blue (+) and Gray-Brown Stripe (-), Right Midrange - Yellow-Orange Stripe (+) and Green-Brown Strip (-)


Just installed a similar setup yesterday in my 2dr big bend. Same Pioneer mini sub with Kicker KS + bass blockers in all 4 corners (Forscan EQ disable also). Really appreciate the youtube video & walkthrough, helped a lot! My first go-around with anything audio related.

Extremely satisfied with the result, especially how it's essentially an OEM+ setup. Installed mine under the driver's seat. Dialed in to 35% gain, 180* phase, 80hz crossover & it's been working well!

I started making up kick panel adapters with added connections for subwoofers. For those who don't want to "tap" into the factory wiring, these make the conhection very simple.

Thank you to the two people in this thread with pics of the instal! I’ve never done a sub before and ordered the sub. Anyone have a video guide on how the heck to instal this thing haha? Zero clue on what cables I need to buy.
