RE: sleeper speakers

[Neal Tovsen <sixteen.volt@gte.net>]

I have a setup that I've gotten a lot of compliments on. I have 5-1/4"
component speakers up front (Rockford Fosgate). The mids are mounted to the
door behind the stock speaker grille, with very little modification
required. The tweeters are mounted *inside* the outboard fresh air vents,
and do not impair the operation of the vents at all. I prefer a "front
stage" type sound, and have a pair of decent (Boston Accoustics) 4x6"
speakers in the stock rear location, just for a small amount of rear
fill-in. The imaging from the high mounted tweeters is awesome, but the
system is COMPLETELY INVISIBLE. When they first sit in the car, it takes
people a while to figure out where the sound is coming from. A small sub
(mine is a 10" RF) adds just the right amount of kick in the rear without
waking up the neighbors on the next block.

I have some pictures of the install if you're interested...

Subject: sleeper speakers


While on the subject of stereo systems for Sciroccos,
I was wondering if you can get better speakers that
fit in where the stock speakers are? I was always
content with the stock systems until recently I heard
what I've been missing. I've thought about cutting
holes in the back, but I don't really want to do that
if I don't have to. I've had bad luck with aftermarket
stereos and thieves. I'd like to keep things mundane
looking (in other words, so thieves won't notice
anything special), but still have some decent sound.

Also, thanks everybody for your replys about rear
speaker wire placement.
