Dash speakers

[urban_legend]

but here are the only enclosed speakers I could find and
no pre-built speaker boxes are made to fit anything smaller than 6x9 so I
even looked at marine wakeboard speakers - thought it might be a hoot to attach them to the rollbar.

I am suprised nobody sells a fiberglass speaker enclosure for the rear deck.

Funny you should mention that. That is exactly what I am working on. Product pics coming in a few weeks.

Well, don't keep me in suspense. How are you going about doing the rears? Inside, outside, facing up, slightly tilted, middle compartment? Come on give up your secrets!!

First box will be a dual 6x9 facing forward but on an angle.

I will also do a component 6 1/2 version.

And for the bass boys:

Dual stereo 3 1/2 like The rear kit but with a ported 8" sub in the middle.


Hoping there is interest. I figured the dual 6x9 is a good starting point for most people who just want good stereo rears. The one I am working on right now uses 4" Kappas in the dash and 6x9 Kappas in the rear deck with the stock door subs and sounds awesome. This is the way the stock system should have sounded.

Maybe if this project turns a profit I will make some door pods for direct drop in subs.

Any takers?

Yes, I would be interested - keep me in the loop.
(As much time as I have wasted on threads I could of built the box myself.)

I don't have the door speakers - but I think I would be satisifed with the dash and two good rear speakers.

Update:

After returning to BB to look for a speaker box I talked to the install guy. He was adamant about the rears are running off the jvc head unit, the doors and fronts share a common ground and are running off the 4x40watt P-amp. If that is the best the P-amp can do, then I have to rate it garbage, or maybe flea market worthy.

I picked up a pair of 3 1/2" infinity ref 3022cf to see how they fit. They were returned once, looked fine and after BB 10% discount they came to $72 OTD. Talk about bending over and taking it!! Amazon has them $33 with free shipping. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000MPIWHG
I would love to hear what the Kappas sound like before I buy the ref. ref=3 ohms, kappas=2 ohms.

Ok the scoop, they will definately fit in the current bracket(with one little mod as they have a small square piece on the side. I just need to notch out that on the stock harness. I actually could fit two just like factory.

Sound: They were by no means as good as the 4x6 kappa. They had a little more tinny sound. Not horrible, as I could adjust the fade and they harmonized with the fronts real well.

Question: What would you guys/gals do? 1 or 2 speakers on each side? I am going to do a search to see if there are any Kappas in 3 1/2. 4 inch just wouldn't fit quite right. I really would like to have them secure, safe and stock looking.

Found Kappa 32.9 for $55 a pair or x 2 for $110.
