My rear speaker install

A pair of JBL 3.5inch mid range speakers with crossovers
Oxygen free mid range speaker cables

Im fortunate enough to run a CNC router machine at work so was able to just write a program for the panels and machined from MDF then a quick coat of satin black car paint. A jigsaw would have been fine to use just make a cardboard template first.

The material for the fronts I found laying around in a cupboard one of those sun protectors that sucker onto a car side window and just cut it up :-)

I wanted to be able to disconnect the cables when I removed the box to access the engine bay so used an old male and female head unit connector and cut of one block leaving me with just the speaker wire blocks. Cut a hole in the side of the box and hot glued it in. With this block connector setup I still have the option of running another set of speakers if I want.

Speaker wires I ran down the passenger side and up behind the dash into the head unit.

Sound is great, makes a huge difference to have some mid-range from all around in the car, was definitely a great well worth project.
