5.25" speakers in side panels?
Discussion
I've searched the forum for an answer on this one, but there's nothing definitive.
Has anyone managed to squeeze a pair of 5.25" (13cm) speakers into the standard side panel location next to the seatbelts? I'm planning to put a pair of 6x9" Genesis subs in the rear panel, so need somewhere to put sensibly sized mid range speakers.
I'd stick with 4" mids in the standard location, but no-one seems to make 2 way components in that size...
Cheers,
Pete

Hi Pete,

don't do it!
imho.
speakers there sound terrible.. one fires right into your ear for a start. I was gonna stick a set of 5 1/4 mids there myself. But in the end mounted them in rear for that reason... really.. it's the worse place in the world to stick a set of speakers..imho.
best place is to get a set in doors or in front sill, and a set in the rear like you're going to do.
have a look at my install:

Yes, in the door is the best place, of course.But where?Possibly in a xtra fibreglass-box???
And probably with a lot of tape
Well, you can get to a car hifi specialist, and they built a stealth box for your tuscan with alcantara, but that does not become cheap.
In the front sill?
But look a that, please!
Seems something, which there does not belong.
If the setup and installation was correctly accomplished, it is a really beautiful compromise.The FOCALV2 is a very good loudspeaker.
And you have place for a pair of great subs (u.a.for the sound turbulences) behind you.
Condition is a top amp like "Steg" or similarly

Speakers in the doors........it can be done!
JL Audio 3 way component speakers
The 6.5" bass drivers are in the rear bulkhead.
I also have a set of 5.25" components that were intended to go into the standard location, but I decided not to put them in. Maybe they'll go in some custom door pods if I ever get the time (i.e. can be ar5ed!)
