Speakers in substitute parcel shelf?

[53pure]

Has anyone ever put speakers into a fabricated MDF rear parcel shelf (replacing the flimsy standard leather sheet)?!

If so, what route did you go down (i.e. what speakers etc) and where did you run the wiring for ease of removal when required.

I was thinking of using Vibe components in order to be able to utilise their quick release speaker connectors and hiding the wiring in the normal manner (under carpets, panels, plastics etc)

Would appreciate any info if anyone has done this and how difficult it proved to be!

PS i plan to run a small underseat active subwoofer under the passenger seat so would appreciate any info on powering two amplifiers (power cap required?!)

I used 6x9's in mine, with an Amp to power them. They sound mint! An underseat sub aren't going to give you window shattering bass, but if you're after subtle bass that will completement the music it will sound nice.

I used the Vibe quick release connectors, they're pretty awesome for quickly removing the shelf.
The 6x9's i used are InPhase;

They sound very nice for the price.

It was relatively easy, I'll try and take pictures for you!

This guide might be of some assistance;
