Rear Speakers.. PICS

Postby Ajay » Sat Jun 30, 2007 6:55 pm

Hey Guys..

thought i would post some pics of my new speakers just for the sake of it.. if anyone cares..

my headrest 4\" fusions kicked the bucket the other day so i wanted to try the parcel shelf speakers that i have seen done..

i just cut holes in the metal plate and drilled them in :)

not much bass through them but still sound much better then the headrest ones.. the leather seats muffled heaps of the sound..

as you can see i have the NB glass window soft top on my NA the edge of the soft top only just covers part of the speaker but it doesnt press on it or affect sound (i mounted the speakers before fitting the soft top :lol: )

I had 8\" speakers there, you notice them more with the roof up.

I took them out when I put the roll bar in, I do miss the extra sound.
If you had access to a car like this, would you take it back right away? Neither would I.

Still waiting for the time to try putting my 6x9's in a similar location. What I need to know first is how to remove the soft top though so I can get at the back parcel tray. Don't suppose anyone has a link to a guide or something?

arrr soft top is easy to get out.. only like 12 bolts just take the rear carpet out and you will see them.. just dont crack your rain rail..

why do you need to remove the soft top to get to your parcel tray?... i did mine without removing the top.. or my style bar..

i dont know what model your car is if its an NB im not sure.. if its an NA its simple.. i could show you one day if you want

Cheers

So you just got in, pulled up the carpet, and cut with the roof on?

It's probably doable, since you just need to remove the windblocker, then the damn one way button things that holds the carpet onto the rear wall. Pull up, and start cutting right?

The other reason I wanted to take the top off was more as an exercise more than anything else. It means I can get in there and clean the gunky bits of the top and the rain rail, plus it would make the cutting of that sheet metal bit a lot easier. Especially if you could just take the piece out and do it on a bench or something, rather than in the car.

On the NB you can undo the metal sheet and take it out of the car to cut.

same as the NA.. if you pull the back carpet back you can see the metal sheet.. and its bolted down.. its the sheet metal that surrounds the fuel tank.. you may have to move the plastic seatbelt surrounds to get the metal plate out

Mine came from Japan with these speakers on the parcel shelf, They sound amazing for boxed speakers. Worth a thought for people who don't want to put holes in their car. :D

I have a mate of mine who has a 6x9 in a box on top of the centre consol, between the seats....velcro'd to the rear wall....it'd be alright, except you've gotta move it whenever you want the centre consol

1 6x9? Does he just send mono to that speaker output?
