Post your rear speaker replacements
I'm interested to see how other people have made use of the rear speaker area, I still haven't found a subwoofer install. This is what I fab'd up for my rear speakers. I have another set up front too. They are almost like little subs, I am powering them with a huge 4 channel hifonics amp. |

I don't have any photos of mine handy, but I have some infinity 3002cfx in the stock bracket with some sound deadening. stock front façade.
I have considered upgrading that area, but never gotten around to it. also have considered replacing the Infinitys with something like a Dayton RS-100-4, but also have not gotten around to that either.

Nice, yea I closed off the "cavity" with half inch MDF, which functions as the baffle the speakers are mounted to and creates a sort of enclosure. I sound treated the inside with dynamat, sealed it as best I could with expanding foam, and used some sound spray and bed liner spray to finish it out. Would usually be Overkill for a 6.5 but these are loud enough to act as midbass subs. It actually came out sounding even better than I had hoped. I also have another set up front.

I only swapped in basic Alpine SPS-410 speakers with Dynamat in the cavity and on the panel. But holy hell does it rattle a lot now with volume.
Haven't checked yet if it's the speaker against the panel grill that needs to be trimmed or something else to be secured. |

This post is best left blank, as it's my best option. No rear speakers

I have eliminated my rear speakers as well and have opted for sound quality via a four-way network setup over visual entertainment........with the exception of what I see out the windshield. |
