Yes it has been asked before, but never found an answer.

Hey guys, this question has definitely been asked by I or some of the other single cab guys in here before, but it has never been answered. Mainly because its never really clarified in the rules.
In a single cab with a factory center console, can the center console be removed from the vehicle during testing?
My setup peaks between 39-41hz depending on the ambient temperature, and yesterday i was doing some testings and decided to completely remove the center portion of my 40/20/40 split bench.
Once removed i discovered that my resonating frequency dropped to 36hz and at that frequency I am now producing the same spl as I did at 39-41hz. If removing the center console is not legal than there is no point in me going into detailed testing with it removed.
Hopefully a judge or someone can chime in on this.

That would be a negative ghostrider.

Any supporting evidence buckwheat?

they remove the center consols in the s-10s so i would say its ok to do so as long as that style truck came out with a truck that has no consol;;;

Hmm.. not sure, i think the ext cabs came without the console and had a plastic console in its place. The regular cabs had the console which folds up into a center seat. Its not directly stated anywhere, and there are people doing it, and no one saying not to do it. I just don't want to exhaust my efforts on tuning at 36hz only to get told in the lanes that I'm not good to go..

You are good to go. You could even purchase racing seats and gain a bit more.

^^ i had racing seats in my integra, very uncomfortable, i don't think i good go with those again for any reason.. my frame is just too large for them.
