speakers on parcel shelf

[BRG 0]

have any of you put in speakers on the back shelf? how do they sound compared with just replacing the ropey 17cm jobs in doors, and how big can they get before making the shelf sag horribly cos it seems a bit flimsy. Thinking or wireing the 2 rear speakers to some decent 6/9's or something on the shelf, but not sure if its worth the hassle.

I'm in 2 minds at the moment - help!

A pair of 6x9 on the backshelf will be LOADS better than the small standard ones in the back. I had some Infinity 2-ways on the shelf on my last golf with no sagging.

You'll get shed loads of extra bass basically.

Ugh, 6x9's are awful things.

Replace the standard speakers with 6.5" components, it'll sounds 10 times better.

I wouldnt say 6x9's are awful, infact i think that they are the best bet if you want good sound for pound without an amp.

If your going to the expense of an amp, then a small sub in the boot wins hands down, although I found that running a decent set of components in the rear off the headunit didnt make too much differnce for the money.

Thats the way i'm going. Replace all 6.52 speakers with some decent comps and sub in boot with 2 amps

am not a connossiuer (no idea how to spell that), but ended up dropping 6/9's in the shelf (3way infinity), and imo they sounds pretty dam good . for
