yes you can remove the seats. no, you don't need to do this for a sub in the trunk..

I was also thinking about removing my backseats just take off a little bit of weight. The only issue I had was that I did not know what to put there. Maybe just for trunk space I suppose. A sub would be nice too. Or just put a roll cage back there since I'm always driving like a mad man.

Removing the rear seats is not going save enough weight to make a difference

It's impossible to fit a sub in the trunk of an 8.

Please go and read the audio stickies. It's hard to be polite to those who refuse to do even basic research. I don't know how many times I've already answered this question seriously in the audio forum.

There are plenty of ways to put a sub in your trunk. The only reason to remove seats to do it is to run wires back there. There are detailed DIY's to remove the seats and wire a sub too, if you care to, you know, look for them.

I have 2 10" subs in a box and it fits Perfectly in the "indented back" space in the rear(toward the front of the car) of the trunk...
