What are some of the ways you installed speakers in the rear deck. There isn't hardly any room. Ideas???

Not sure if I can live with one 12 yet but I wil see. My plan is to dyno the back deck and leave the stock sub whole open. I'll let you know if it makes a difference or not. Those side curtain airbags are messing up my tweeter plans. I don't know where I'm going to mount them just yet.

I mounted my tweeters on that pillar. The airbags are found at the top of that pillar so you can install tweeters in the bottom portion. I can take a pic of mine if you like

Nice DIY.

I had been wanting to install LX's rear cabin panel into my SI so I can get in-cabin 3rd brake lights (since I want to remove my SI wing). With this DIY, I could remove the stock sub and install the LX's rear panel in place.

I'm only thinking about it lol, removing audio for aesthetics is a bit dumb so... I won't be doing it unless I can find somewhere else on the car that I can remount the sub, maybe in the rear cupholder section...hmm

I have an EX-L, I just popped the rear speaker covers off and replaced them with Polk
DB6501's had to cut two deck corners (for speakers to fit flush) and bore hole through the deck for the tweeter then mounted the cross over box underneath the deck.

The trunk rods were not in the way of the sub but are close to the tweeter. sound is good although I need power! (An amp when my finances permit).

Where the speaker cover has ports for the speaker I'm going to drill through? 100 holes or whatever to open up the cover so the tweeter can breath. (The rear speaker cover holes are open to the speaker only although it's a big cover, can you find a cover that's covered in fabric and open???)
