EDIT: And the amp is bolted down, it is not loose in there. It is unbolted in the picture b/c I was working on it.

Custom Car Stereo in Houston did the work. And the jack now is stowed in a duffel bag in my cargo area along with jumper cables, tow strap, tire iron and gloves.

It is doubtful they fold all the way down. My amps are mounted directly to the floor under the second row and the seat backs actually rest on them when folded down.
If you want to retain full function of all your seating, it is going to be difficult to install 4-8's completely hidden. I currently have 2-10's in an enclosure sitting in my cargo area that I want to hide as well. I just can seem to find enough space for both of them without major modification. I have been kicking around the idea of a single 10 in the factor sub location (like TX Tahoe Z71's) and a matching 8 under the front console. Problem is, I have a monoblock sub amp and I want to be able to control the level of each sub separately. So I will probably end up with one robust 10 in the driver rear panel.

I have the amp for my front speakers under the driver's side 2nd row seat, and the seat doesn't fold completely flat, but enough that the amp hasn't hindered any cargo space. But obviously, I wouldn't recommend leaving the seat folded down for long periods of time for fear that the amp might overheat. The amp I have has a fan built in, so that gives me some comfort about putting the seat-back on top of it occasionally.

Is there anyway you can give us measurements of the sub box? I have my 03 Tahoe Z71 apart and ready to build a box. Is the back of the box flat? Seems like the side of the Tahoe is angled. Any chance to see a pic of the back of the box? Thanks in advance for any help

The box is
11" wide
7.5" deep, at the bottom
15.5" tall

It is made out of 3/4" MDF. Yes, the back top of the box is angled (chamfered) for clearance.

Hope this helps. Wish I had taken photos of the box before it was installed, that would have been more helpful. If I ever have to take it out, I'll do that.
