This question is very tough to answer it really depends on your vehicle. It is recommended to use bolts w nuts and not simply sheet metal screws. That being said it really depends on the access you have under the vehicle in the area you would like to mount the plates. Be very careful there is no Fuel Tank, Fuel / Brake lines/ electrical or other components in the desired area, the worst thing that could happen is to drill through a fuel tank which would cost over $1000 to replace or worse a brake line. After the plate is mounted then mounting the box and removing it from the plate is extremely easy and quick. When drilling through the floor of your vehicle it's really just common sense, so be careful but as long as there is nothing in the way it should be pretty easy.

There are four holes on the bottom of the unit but I dont think you can separate the bottom plate from the rest of the unit. If you had a plate that would slide out from under ur seat and you could mount the unit to it that would probably work!?

The plate has mounting holes for several different size seats. I mounted Tempress seats to mine. I screwed mine down with 6 screws to a wooden pad that is fiberglassed to the floor so there are no penetrations through the floor. The base is 9" in diameter and I mounted two seats side by side in a 17' V-hull with plenty room to pass between.

Yes you could add two sub's. One was good enough for me. Under the seats would be good, just make sure you aren't going to rattle any metal close to the install area.

Removable plates work but it can get kind of tight. The mags can fan out so there is enough room. I have a few act mags and they work side by side. If you put 8 of them in there I am not sure.

Yes, very easy. The ends are spring loaded so you just put one end in first then the other. Kinda like a shower rod. It removes quickly when you need to lower your seats to load something large in the car. Item came with instructions.

Very easy. Fold in half, put on seat, insert seat secure tabs, unfold, put the straps around head rests. This probably sounds harder than it is. I highly recommend this product. My sister has one and she recommended it to me. We both love this product!

I have found it very straightforward to remove and re-attach the "J mounts". I have moved them back and forth between vehicles on several occasions.

I have not removed mine yet, but it was easy to install and should be easy to remove. I think you may have to be careful with the holdfasts that tuck into seat.

Yeah, I have a front center license plate holder, too, on my 2013 reg. cab F-150, and I found out (after buying this grille) that you have to remove the plate holder to mount the grille, AND you cannot put the plate holder back on. In California it's illegal not to have your front license plate displayed (if 2 plates were issues with the vehicle) and you will get popped for it, especially in urban areas. I got a ticket in San Fran for not having a front license plate on another car of mine. What a headache. So if you do mount this grille, you'll have to relocate your plate to the side. I'm in the process of looking into how to do that right now, so if anyone out there has any suggestions, I'd appreciate it.

I only use two with my ATV but I also put put a safety chain on the front end just in case something ever failed. I did not like the lag bolts they included so I bolted right through the trailer floor to a bolt plate - the straps are very strong and nothing has moved with just two. If you go with four you will also have to drive up 4 little ramps to load and unload - which means you have to be perfectly aligned.

I really can not say on your car without seeing it. I can only tell you that your car needs to have a bumper or spoiler that has a flat mounting base for the plate to be bolted to. The plate mount will reduce your clearance by about an inch, which may create a problem since your suspension has already been lowered. Maybe you can mount the workings above your spoiler or bumper in your grill. Where ever you mount, you will require enough depth in or under your grill to allow the plate to fold inside.I mounted my plate under the spoiler on my 2012 Challenger and looks and works just fine. Look at a Challenger and compare to your car. Good luck. I really can not say on your car without seeing it.

If you want to get 2 plates then you need to adjust the quantity to 2. The default is just 1 plate. At least this is how it was for me when I ordered the plates back in 2011. They are still holding up and I use them regularly.

I have this mounted to a Honda ST1300. I asked a friend to make an 1/4 inch aluminum plate because the bracket on my Honda was a little small, I felt. I have seen many creative ways to mount similar boxes that cost almost nothing. One guy took 4 longer bolts and stack washers until it cleared enough space to mount his box. $5 at best. You can't see it unless you took the extra effort. As far as the box itself. It fits 2 full size helmets and gloves. Or my wife's helmet & jacket. I wouldn't pull wheelies with a passenger but she has no comfort complaints after a few hours ride.

I wouldn't call them "easy", but they're not impossible, either. I switch fairly often and don't mind, but it's not a total breeze. If you're changing often, I'd recommend a seatbelt install.

Katelyn, it mounts to the vehicle frame. Once you remove two bumper screws on either side of the bumper, you then place the bracket over the screw holes, at the same time moving the bracket through the space between the body and thw bumper. It was much easier than i thought it would be. You only have to drill one hole on either side of the frame beside the other two screw holes where the bracket attaches. I am not mechanically inclined, but this was really no problem. I have yet to drill the two holes, but that will be reasonably easy. If someone had time to do it all at once, it should take about 2-3 hours, if that. Katelyn, it mounts to the vehicle frame.

These are from a previous systems and do not include the quick plate for mounting/removing. There are mounting holes on the bottom to permanently mount the case (which is what I've done when professionally installing to reduce being knocked off and never had a service call). On others where they will come off within time depending on location.

Even though I leave it on our Suburban most of the time, I have never had a problem removing & reattaching. It is well designed and very easy. The only issue I have ever had is the backup sensor will not work due to the placement of the rack, but the rack is worth it especially on a long trip.
