![]() I wanted to look @ replacing the old with new. The speakers are in all 4 doors. Don't see the point in putting 6inch in each door as the bass isn't there. I also don't want to go to the expense of installing a sub (taking up 1/2 the boot) & amp. Was thinking of 6inch splits in front & 6x9's in rear. I will have to carve & carpet a custom shelf out of MDF as I did for my Seca, but it was a pain in the arse! Not that I've looked at the shelf yet, but has anyone done it with the latest shape Astina?[/color ![]() |

![]() for a shelf from scratch, you could happily go with 12mm. But I suppose it depends on the weight of your speakers and if you want to mount anything else to it like an amp or some crossovers on the underside. btw, mounting amps upside-down is generally not reccomended but many ppl have done it with no troubles : ![]() If you are not concerned about the weight of the wood, I reckon look at finding the thickness that makes the shelf fit flush against the back of the chairs and the side walls. so it doesnt appear to be a lump ![]() Dave[/color ![]() |

![]() I picked up a nice pair of Infinity 6x9's after Sunday's Healsville cruise. Just have to get off work early one day this week to buy some MDF & off I go. As I stated in the thread, the stock speakers in the BJ suck! I may look at splits & amp further down the track.[/color ![]() |

![]() www.jaycar.com.au At least then u can go into the store and avoid delivery prices. or Lincraft or other cloth shops may be good. *Some hardware stores such as Bunnings have speaker carpet too.[/color ![]() |
