Whee To Put Speakers When Take Rear Seats Out And Parcel Shelf?

Featured Replies

Going to take rear seats and parcel shelf out this week coming.

I've got 6x9s wired up to standard speakers in the parcel shelf,

Where can I put the 6x9s when all that's gone?

Any suggestions please?



Parcel shelf speakers? I thought those days were well behind us...

Why not sort out the door speakers and forget about the stuff in the boot/what was parcelshelf?

This more hassle than its worth to me lol

Was thinking more along the lines of cutting hole for em somewhere else in rear like plastic in walls of floor under rear seats when there out

OK so not under seats lol but you get my drift

Takes 10 minutes to remove each door card. 2 minutes to unscrew the speakers, 2 seconds to unplug, then Crimp connectors onto the new speakers and you're away. If you go for low power (you don't need high power for high quality) then you'll be able to power it from the headunit and use the original wiring

As I said above, sell the 6x9 and buy some that fit

Na am not selling then buying.

Al make this fit where rears are if I have to and remove those standards.

At moment both rears and 6x9s are wired and working

By adding more and more speakers from different brands youre going to start having phasing issues

No al just put 6x9s where rears are now

But aren't the rears the same size as the front?

Keep your 6x9"s but try putting v them in a box (you can buy them cheap online) and put undefined the front seats. It's cheap but very cheerful and I think that's what you're after.

With that amount of effort running wiring etc he may as well sort the front door speakers..

I have my 4 channel amp under the passenger seat and it was such a faff

What? Running rear speaker cable from where it goes into the wing/door a load of effort? It's as simple as simple can be. I'm suprised in you GF (considering your excellent build in your car)

No.. I have 4 RCA cables, a power cable, signal cable, Earth speaker cables, plugs/connectors & the amp itself. It takes up passenger legroom so bare that in mind.

Also, running the cabling neatly takes more effort than you would think do the to way the carpet is fitted

Cant you just cut them into your rear side quarter panels or even knock up some side panels on the boot sides seeing as you wont have a rear seat or shelf in?

Just took rear seats out.

Dark now so will carry on tomorrow and take side panel right off and take standard speaker out and cut brace to make 6x9s fit to hold it

Did this in the end. Only quick job but works

Put a mesh on the inside of the plastic, over the hole and it's done!

  • Author

Good idea! From of grill has mesh so would like to get it the same!

Why couldn't it have gone where the original speaker is? Cant tell why from the pics.

  • Author

Was to big for the hole and I didn't have equipment to cut it.
