Rear speaker install
 

Is it worth installing some 6x9 speakers in the corner of my cab behind my seat? Anyone else do this? I was debating doing this but I don't want to go through all the hassle of getting the speakers and making a mount if they are going to sound like trash because of where they sit.

Re: Rear speaker install
 

No reason to make a mount when a board members makes and sells his own... will get link in just a sec.

I've got 6x9s behind my seat in the corners and it sounds great.

Re: Rear speaker install
 

Yeah the ones Jeff is making are nice. I haven't heard anything bad about them after the guys have them installed in the trucks.

Re: Rear speaker install
 

just buy an enclosed box for 6x9s

Re: Rear speaker install
 

I have them behind my seat in some enclosed boxes and they sound great.

i think i got you all topped in the origonality dept... i got two 6x9s laying on the floor behind the seat cuz im too broke to buy those boxes made here( which are awesome) and too busy/lazy to make my own lol. and ya they sound like they came straight out of a transister radio..

I have the corner brackets....and I must say.....
I love them!
They look and sound great.

Re: Rear speaker install
 

Why? Mine don't cost that much more, are made better, won't take up any space behind the seat, and don't look like crap. :)

Thanks for the compliments fellas!

Re: Rear speaker install
 

corner brackets as well, did some fabbing to them as my 4 1/8 magnet infinity kappas no fit so well, but the plastic i used cracked before they even had a speaker on them, so going to have to re-engineer them again, but i like them no complaints.

Re: Rear speaker install
 

I have the board members corner speakers and have yet to install them but i like the look and quality

You cant ever beat free! Ahahah how much for yours though?

Re: Rear speaker install
 

$63 shipped to your door if you live in the lower 48.

Not ripping on anyone installs, just saying if you are going to spend the $$ on carpeted boxes, why not spend a few more bucks and have a cleaner looking and better functioning install? But I am bias. :D

100 plus sets sold, zero complaints.

I put bigblocks boxes in early this week. Sound SO much better and they are completely out of the way and look great.

Put some $35 Kenwood 6x9's I got on ebay in mine along with some $9 pioneer 4" speakers in the dash corners. Sounds great for not much $$$.

Re: Rear speaker install
 

Yo!
More surface area with 2 6.5" speakers than a single 6x9", so I mounted four 6.5" three ways:

They sound fantastic!

You can't go wrong with Jeff's (BigBlock73) speaker brackets.

I had mine powder coated. here's a few pics of the install:

Those look great... but i've got factory ones. If i needed them i would get them.

Re: Rear speaker install
 

As far as them sounding good, they'll sound fine. BUT, (I know most will disagree), I am not a fan of rear staging in a vehicle, unless it is used for rear fill for a surround sound set up for video use. I have run live sound for many years, and had my own recording studio for 5 years and well their just aren't many times that music is engineered to have rear fill speakers. All sound staging is recorded to come from the front as it would at live performance, it's more natural. I usually add more front speakers and take the rears out. It's less confusing musically.

I say if you have the funds go for the corner prefabbed big block sells. I have a set with some kicker 6x9s and top mounted

tweeters. I love them I have had those carpeted boxes sound way to punchy. I put some pillow stuffing behind mine to slow down the air from bouncing off the back of the cab. Made a difference. Just my 2cents
