I took my seat backs out, leaving the seat bottoms. I think it looks better.

It's actually nice to see that our cars have so few issues that we are left to ponder the acustic variables of the back seats. So, has anyone conducted experiments in the back? Is one position better than the other?

True, but makes a better shelf down; that's the trunk, right?
And really - there's no helping that audio system once you get the RPMs up anyway!

One (correction: two) would have to be a really small peron(s) to be conducting any experiments with positions in the rear seat of our cars. But hey, beggers cant be chosers, right?
About the seat backs: mine go down automativcally when the volume exceeds 78Db. You can set it yourself, its in the manual.

My wife used to say "seat up but lid down" - that's the way if you drive a convertible.

We've tried several positions in the back of the 997 but frankly its just too cramped back there for us. That's more of an SUV activity I guess.

Front seats tilted back, left knee passenger seat, right knee drivers seat, hands on the back seats. Sunroof open for me cause I'm 6'5".

Judging by the fact that the OP does not respond to our "suggestions", I recon he was serious about his question. Which makes it more fun, I guess.

TTIWWP = this thread is worthless without pics.
There was NO room for cameras.
