Hey guys, tell me what you think of this. Im wanting to take out my huge sub box that is now in the cargo area and try and fit some other subs in the rear speaker compartments instead. Also wanting to install some main speakers in the rear passenger doors. Has anyone tried this or have any leads on some equipment? Thanks

i have (2) amps fit in where my passerger side 6x9 was and I have (1) elemental designs SQ10 in a box that 0.45 cubic feet in the area where the drivers side 6x9 was.. I am still working on trim to go around it so it looks like crap now but one day i will stop being lazy and finish it...

do you have pics of your set up? Did you have to cut much to get everything in there? Thanks

You really do not want to see pics of it.........

The guy who did was named Ray Charles.

Seriously it looks like crap, but I can explain it to you. I am putting my rear door panels on tomorrow. If you want I can get a good look at what he did and explain it to you.

Sound good?

Alright, I just threw the rear door panels on and I got a chance to take a look at it. Boy did they do a half-ass job. First, you drill a hole the same size as the speaker you want to mount. You drill this in the little "pocket" that is there. This will meant that you have an arch on the top and bottom. You drill from the inside out so as not to mar the surgace. Next, take some mesh, and stretch it over the pocket. The idea is alright but the turnout on this particular case was not the least bit impressive

No the speakers are set back in the rear of the pocket

i think it would look alot better if the fabric stretch job was done better.. but its a pretty good idea, I am going to be mounting my speakers in the rear doors as its my only option still left, I need to take a look at it and see what will be best, I believe they are an off size speaker exactly 6" or something..

i will try to get some pics of my stereo one day soon.. my camera is always up stairs and far away and the cell phone takes crappy pics lol...
