Rear Speaker options . .
The reason i ask is that i could do with some new speakers and as 6x4s are quite rare now they are way more expensive than 6x9s and are obviously gonna be quieter. ideas welcome!

I used fibreglass to buld two enclosures to hold 6x9's that sit either side of the boot and use a bumper bolt, seat belt bolt and shelf screw to secure. I have my amp attched to one so that they can all be removed with little hassle

Lets face it in standard form the golf is not exactly a hifi buffs ideal listening environment :wink: , so unless you are going for serious power and sound proofing spending a lot probably ain't worth it imho

Infinity do some 6x4's that are supposed to be quite good if you want to keep things looking "stock". About 40 quid a pair.
Can back you up on that, I brought some for the front of my cabriolet, and they do sound OK as long as you not after masses of bass or anything. You get a really clear sound from them, 10x better than the standard ones anyway.

I wrote a massive thing on how to build a stealth shelf along with some lessons learned in the old forum, not sure how to go about finding it?

Pretty sure there is a link to the old forum there. As I say you can't post or edit, but the search fundtion still works fine.

Might just replace the orig pioneer 6x4s with something modern. Sounds like the infinity ref's are a good replacement, might look into those.

I think rather than the sandwhich, i might just get one sheet of mdf and cut , mesh, then carpet that. I'll have to check the sides the shelf sit on are in good nick too.
Jon & Dano, cheers, think i'll gofor 6x9s as i have no speakers in the front. I have flat door panels with no pods on. Might try to fit a single in the front central speaker area (even though i've read about the issues with this).
Thanks all.
