Matt1878 Posted August 5, 2012 Share Posted August 5, 2012 Might be frowned upon by some of you BUT, what do you do for music? Custom rear speaker build? Front speakers? If so (what size)? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Matt1878 Posted August 5, 2012 Author Share Posted August 5, 2012 Haha! I don't think I could live without music :/ especially as its my everyday. I was thinking maybe put some in the front where the standard speakers are? What size fits in there? Also the rear speakers where the rear seats are? Just like build a floor, carpet the wood and have the speakers there...? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
LukeSR Posted August 5, 2012 Share Posted August 5, 2012 When I stripped mine all I had was the front speakers.. They are shit lol!I had it stripped for about a year until I had to start commuting to work 40 miles a day for work! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I would strip it out again but I've just got to hooked on having decent sound lol.. The noise off it being stripped Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Matt1878 Posted August 5, 2012 Author Share Posted August 5, 2012 I don't really like people in the back of my car :/ don't do many long distance trips. Will be going to all shows with UKSC as of now.Don't feel the need for the seats, it's just pissing loud now Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DaveyDemolition Posted August 5, 2012 Share Posted August 5, 2012 Yeah I've got Sony ones in the front because the stock are shit can't remember what size they are though, and then I put 6:9's in the rear side pannels and a sub in the spare wheel I got fed up of the stripped out sound eventually, at one point I didn't have carpets or anything and it was like driving a van :/ Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Thinking about building a little floor all the way through, carpeting it and putting my old skool kenwood speakers where the rear seats are.. Should get good sound off that at they are the dogs!

AdamB Posted August 5, 2012 Share Posted August 5, 2012 I've just got the stock parcelshelf with some 6x9's on it, the rest is stripped though. Does look a little odd, but need to have some tunes! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Does look a little odd, but need to have some tunes!This is how I am at the moment! Stock shelf, kenwoods and my 3 point brace in the rear, that's all Quote Link to post Share on other sites
LukeSR Posted August 5, 2012 Share Posted August 5, 2012 I HAD to take my parcel shelf out.. It was bouncing all over the shot lol and the 6x9's sounded poo because they wern't boxed! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Matt1878 Posted August 5, 2012 Author Share Posted August 5, 2012 This is a problem! The speakers sound awesome but they are pretty heavy and the shelf bounces really bad haha!! Plus the rattles in the boot lid are much louder lol!! Need to get my gaffer tape out and wrap some of the catches up etc Quote Link to post Share on other sites
LukeSR Posted August 5, 2012 Share Posted August 5, 2012 Aye taking the parcel shelf stopped most rattles lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Flaminsam Posted August 5, 2012 Share Posted August 5, 2012 I have 6x9 boxes in my rear foot wells. Sounds half decent. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
shorty Posted August 5, 2012 Share Posted August 5, 2012 Just build a small angled board behind the front seats in the rear foot wells abit like the old classic minis do. problem solved or fit mx5 mk1 seats because they have speakers in the headrests also oem dash are 4inch speakes iirc and are shit even when upgraded due to being sooooo small unless you buy 300quid 4inch compition speakers or somthing as crazy Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Matt1878 Posted August 5, 2012 Author Share Posted August 5, 2012 Yeah sod spending loads of readys on some 4inch speakers lol. I think I'm just going to build the floor and sit the speakers on there just behind the seats as they have real powerful tweeters! They actually sound immense on the parcel shelf alone but they do rattle and bounce their tits off!! Haha Quote Link to post Share on other sites
