This may be of interest to some...
i upgraded the 4 internal speakers to apines last week, a very nice crisp clear sound
also got some 6.5" alpine speakers and put them in the rear door unit,and the sound wasnt good at all, they were 2 way, but i realised only bass goes through,so took them back and ordered 2 of these for £29 inc delivery...
125w RMS subwoofer cones 6.5"
1 x WOOFER 6.5" SPEAKER 250W WITH KEVLAR CONE 902.423 on eBay (end time 04-Feb-11 15:54:33 GMT)
they came today,and was totaly gutted the backs were way too big to fit in the door, and would of need cutting of the metal, so sat there a bit gutted i thought i wonder what they sound like, and started to wonder,i also had a complete spare unit and casing so had nothing to loose and started fiddling...
the amp screwed straight across the back of 1 of the holes with no need to modify at all
so screwd the speakers in the wrong way
and i tested the sound--AMAZING !!! a hell of a difference form how it was, sat in the front and was all smiles and yessssssssssssss, it sounded brilliant for what it was and a very nice bass for the size of the subs, a proper bass, and worked lovely with the standard head unit and the alpines, im not sure if having them the other way round sort of uses the rear door as a "box" to amplify the sound or anything, but it sounds fantastic, sat in the front listening...youd think there was a sub box in there, and it fills the bass and sound out with great effect around the whole car, very happy with it !!
i thought you know what im gonna keep them in there
so got a hacksaw out...
cut up the spare mesh cover i had just to tidy it a little bit
sticks out maybe 3 inches, not a great deal, may further see what i can come up with in terms of casing it up proeprly somehow
