Whats the strongest rear speakers that you guys have been able to fit in the back panels behind our seats. I know we can cut them out and fit some 4.5's or 5.25's, but I want to make sure I can find a 5.25" speaker whose magnet wont be too big for that back panel because of the metal pieces behind it. Whats the strongest speakers you've fit there so far? I have 2 more channels on my amp just begging to connect a pair of 100 watt rms rears to it...

btw, I did a search and couldnt find much useful info on the rear speakers, and no, i dont want to consider spods.

thanks

 

You can trim the metal down a little, other wise very few 5.25's will fit. I fit a set Alpine SPX-133a's but I had to trim the metal behind the panel a little.

 

is that metal there very much to help in the stiffening of the chasis? I have a pair of 6.5 infinity's from my old integra that would work perfect but i'd have to cut quite a bit of that metal out...

 

Why not just add a spacer that would go in-front of the plastic panel? This would allow for more space and not have to cut much metal, if any at all. Considering the angle behind the seats, a half-inch or even a one-inch spacer should fit fine, even with the seat to the most rear position. Just an idea.

I have 5.25 inch Kenwoods in the rear plastic panels that help the overall sound, but could be much better. When I upgrade to a new Alpine HU in the very near future, I plan on installing 6.5" components in the rear panels.

 

If you're going to install 6.5's your going to have to trim some of the metal away assuming they have any kind of a useful magnet. A spacer might work but it will force your seat to sit off that much further.

 

I am running to MB Quart Premium 5.25's in the back panels. I didn't use lucids I just looked at his at then cut my own. I didn't have to trim any metal at all and they are taking 75w a peice from a JL 300/4 and it really rounded out the system.

 

I have the JBL "Power Series" 5.25 2-way powered by the JL 300/4 rounded the system out very nicely.....especially with top down driving.................

the magnet hit the metal bracket a bit.......trimming was not difficult at all.
