Apologies if this has been answered before. I have a 318is with only the front speakers in the footwells and was wondering how to fit rear speakers without cutting my parcel shelf or any of the interior for that matter as its mint and I would like to leave it 'standard'. Is there any spaces at the back of the car for speakers to go ?

Many Thanks

Tom

could you just buy a shelf with speakers in it and keep the original?

i think this might be your best option. you could always get some professionally fitted, as am sure it would'nt mess your parcel shelf up if you went to a good car audio specialist.

My 318i Lux (breaker winkeye ) has speakers in the parcelshelf will check to see if they are factory fitted, but they are exactly the same as the ones in the shelf of my 320i SE so i assume they are.

Pretty sure that if you was to remove your rear shelf and flip it over,the speaker cut out holes are pre cut/marked to take 5.25 speakers-hence keeping the factory look!
