Re: El-Cheapo Speaker upgrade
Just finished putting a set of Fusion 6" Components in the front and a set of Nakamichi 6" x 9 " in the Back with a rear deck Mod.
sounds heaps better.
Also put some sound deadening on the underside of the boot lid. made a huge difference.

Re: El-Cheapo Speaker upgrade
Got mine from autoBarn think it was $45 for a pack. think there was either 6 or 10 sheets in the pack
I have only used 2 sheets for the boot lid. cut it into triangles to fit and trimmed the corners.
worked a treat.

Re: El-Cheapo Speaker upgrade
ok here are the photo's
The sound deadener only took about 10 mins to do was considering lining the bootlid with something to hide the silver.
Also made up a timber deck for the back of the boot to place amp on at later date These Nakamichi 6 x 9 speakers are fantastic speakers No matter what i do or how i edit the first 2 pics. they still go in upside down
Sorry

Re: El-Cheapo Speaker upgrade
Thanks for the pics mate. I will look into this. As of now I hardly have any vibration or sound leak unless am playing something really loud.

Re: El-Cheapo Speaker upgrade
I just got a big block of foam and crammed it into the boot lid where there was or would be metal on metal from vibration. Never heard a peep from it.
So its definitely and alternative albeit weight reduction alternative
