Ive gotten some emails and pms about this soo here...

Tools/ Supplies Needed:
Permanent Marker
Scissors
Piece of cardboard box
Plexi Glass 3x3 sheet (or whatever you can find that you will be able to be get two 1x1 squares out of)
Drill
Drill Bits
Marine Speakers 5"-6" (Round not oval)
2 Toggle Bolts
Jig Saw


I will show you how to mount the speakers only Hooking up the amp is not going to be in this DIY..


Final look

First Cut a 11 inch long by 9 inch tall sheet of cardboard..






Cut the tip off about 2 1/2 inches in on a angle like this...




Trace out the pattern for your speaker try to get it as centered as you can..


Cut it out




Now get under your car and look to the right of the muffler heat shield you will see two silver bolts and between those two bolts is a hole.. Place your cardboard template and mark where you need to drill your hole for your toggle bolt


Theres mine... Cut out this hole aswell and then your ready to trace your new template to the plexi glass..


After you trace your pattern to your plexi glass twice (one for leftside one for the rightside) and cut them out using a Jig saw... Mount your speakers in the new plexi mounts you just made, and hook up your wires. I would give yourself about 6 foot of speaker wire each speaker..


Place your toggle bolt threw your hole in the plexi then into the hole on the frame between the two silver bolts like so.. and tighten the screw untill secure.. Do not over tighten!! You could break the plexi..

For those who don't know this is a toggle bolt



Run your speaker wire to this bushing.. located under the exhaust heat sheild... this will lead to your trunk under your spare tire... Take this wire and run it to your amp and your all set!!

Tips on your amp turn down any bass boost and set the it in the middle of 50hz and 150hz...


I hooked up my amp's remote wire to a toggle so I can turn them off and on whenever I want..

can u only do this to the rear of the car.... is there anywhere to do this under the front of the car??

This mod is normaly used for big trucks ie: Suburbans, Tahoes, ETC in their case they can do 4 speakers 2 in the front 2 in the back, being we drive small compact cars I did only 2 in the back, It doesnt really matter if you put them in the front or back they are so loud you cant tell where its coming from and the sound comes out of the sides of the car anyways, I myself couldnt do any in the front because.

1. My car is to low
2. There is too many working parts in the front for me to feel comfortable with it.

I just found the back easier / cleaner looking because they tuck inside.
