Finally installed my rear speakers

I installed my rears finally and I love them. Puts a more full sound into the car instead of just the 4X6's in the front and the subs in the back. They're 6X8's. On another plus side, I was able to cover up some holes previously hacked into the panels and clean the SH*T out of them.

Here's pics

Not bad, Billy!
How much more room did they give you?
1"?
2"?

They're 2" spacers, and IIRC there's like 1" of clearance behind the panels, so that'd be a total depth of 3".

ok, I'll be the odd ball and Say I dont like it. and it looks like hell.

Would have been so much nicer just to find a low profile speaker and made a flush trim rings and did it nicer.

Then again im anal like that since I use to work as a installer.

Its hard once being an installer to like much of anything after.. But for someone not as skilled or should i say experienced, thats not all that bad... He does get the better sound of the 6x8, and it looks a he77 of a lot better than the before picture....


Still an installer, always an installer

I agree with you, but Jake really ****ed up that car, so he's doing the best he can do.

It's definatey better than before, but I would have just done a flush mount too. My Kicker Impulse 5.25"'s sound great in my vert.

mines flush behind the factory grill... i had to space the grill out a extra 1/8" because with it cranked all the way up, a loud midrange noise would sometimes cause them to tap the grill..

but you cant tell its not stock from the outside... i consider that a good thing since i somtimes park with the top down.


im going to try to make a fiberglass subwoofer box for my trunk/sparetire well, athough im having a lil trouble with it... the box i have in there now is a generic unported box, and its not bad or anything, but its obviously a aftermarket box just sitting there....

Yes atleast the car has a good home now. and will be taken care of.

Billy, I have a set of 6 1/2 sounds streams I could prob make a nice pod for ya with. I have the Panels outa my vert.

What he said. But atleast your working with what you have to make it better.

I actually just happened to have those speakers. Both panels were hacked pretty badly and each was a different size hole :confused:

I mainly just wanted to do something to cover up the holes, but I happened to have those speakers laying around and decided to throw them in. I'm really pleased with the sound quality, so I doubt I'll be doing much to them for a while. I still have way too many other things to concentrate on.
