Has anyone considered installing speakers in the panel between the rear windows and the hatch?

It seems like there is enough depth for a decent 5.25" or 6.5". A custom cut and mounting plate would need to be created.

What do you guys think? I have been looking at this from day one. I dont like having all of the music coming from in front of me.

 

What about just beefing up the rear door speakers? I moved my fader slightly to the back in the radio setup and that gave the music a bit of a dimension, but I'm not an audiophile by any means.

 

Yeah, I actually did that too with no satisfying result. The front seats block so much of the sound. I think those speakers are worthless.

Its funny that I am getting the bug to build a system in this car. I put my first one together before I could even drive. I gave up when I was 20 after every build was stolen. If I do anything in this car it will be completely stealth. No boxes with 12's or anything. That is why I think this rear speaker install could really help.

 

when you get the build goin' be sure to post those pics...

 

hey man me too!! ive been tinkleling with they idea also and i don't even have mine yet! yeah you can add 6.5 inchers, even 5x7 inchers wich offer 3 and 4ways. i've been at they dealer so many times i've memorised the locations for speakers, since you are NOT adding a box consider a custom panel ON THE HATCH. speakers on the door, i did it on my old scion xb, i had 4 5.5" and 2 6x9" 3ways! .... sorry no pics.

 

Before you start cutting. Make sure to consider your hatch components. Like your rear windshield motor and hatch lock. I thought about doing it, but I didn't want to make any cuts in my car.
