I know this must of been asked before but i want some bigger speakers in the rear of my touring shed

apart from building a shelf (they could then be hidden under the load cover) the only thing i could think of would be to mount them on the side doors. The ones which hide the jack,tool kit, first aid etc. I expect this is far from ideal but i can't think of alot else

anyone?! :?

I have seen larger speakers further forward ie almost under the load cover in the sides. If you think about it there is space as thts where the touring speaker pods would reside. I cant find a pic to explaine properly

The doors probably wouldnt be a good idea as they are quire flimsly and have strengthening vaines on the back which you would need to cut out to mount the speakers.

for speakers you need a sturdy bass for the midbass,

fiberglass is your friend ;)

or realistically just upgrade the front ones and amp them to compensate,,, forget the rearfill unless youve got passengers alot of the time.. most compitiion setups only have front components and rear sub, thats all you really need .. if its good enough to compete with im sure its good enough for you...

Ah thats the next problem i have no front speakers so wired one up to the speaker wires and.........nothing!

Looks like i'll have to go that route then, i've got some half decent 6 inch jobbies see if i can get them to go

cheers!

better off with the shelf si

some tw@ has put them in the rear fold downs on the one i have ow and with stuff in the back you cant hear then and it looks shite
make a shelf and hide them under the load cover will sound loads better
