There were a couple of tricks - like a quick disconnect to get to the engine. All total, for the rear speakers, wiring, etc. was $60 and some time. Granted, with the top down I have to OPEN THE REAR BOX to rock out but with a Wind Deflector I can still hear the music at 80mph (only turned up ¼ of the way-I have replaced the amp, stereo and all speakers).

Here's a pic of the speaker type. HINT: Low Profile…..easy!


The pair…


Here's the installation on rear deck...


Here's the quick disconnect…$3ea. ($6) Radio Shack


Hope it helps someone avoid "sounding bad".
