rear parcel shelf speaker placement
jaymesobryen - January 23rd, 2006 at 05:27 PM

Hey guys I'm tossing up speaker placement for the rear of my type 3 fast back, I know the norm is on the parcell shelf, but I was wondering if anyone has put them in the panel under the back seat, the forward facing one??????

Only in Beetles have I seen that and thats because some of the support(in my Notch at least) has a metal cross beam right across the middle of that little kick panel, and I wasn't going cutting things in Nellie.. ;) I think Beetles don't have this brace running diagonally.

If you ask me, the less cutting into things, the better, and that includes interiors.
I ended up putting my speakers in a picnic basket and leaving it on the back seat. You have the look of old skool, but tunes and mp3 player in the glove box, running all the wires and amp under the carpet and mainly backseat. Schweet...

Up to you of course.
