Speakers into middle doors. Or other ideas

Why? well quite simply I like my tunes and with the draw system going in in already noticing the lack of sound coming from the 6x9's in the rear door.

So has anyone fitted to middle doors?
This is a GQ so I will be modding skins to house the speakers.
I have electric windows so that's one thing I have to dodge, but I cant see it being an issue with some spacers.

Was thinking of mounting them into the draw system as I will have spare room behind the seats. draws stop at baby seat points, but lid continues to back of seats. A good option, but worries they will be crushed when loaded up.

so what do you guys do when installing fold down benches off the rear doors?

Please put pics and a brief description. Ill compile a few ideas into a build thread as well as my build.

and leaving out is not an option..:D

Just throwing this out there ,Have you made the verticle divider and top shelf cargo barrier style , You could fit 2 there
or if you have the OMG handles in cargo area utilise them, or at the back up the top facing forward, nahh got nothing kallen you're on your own lol

or get a gu i have a whopping big set of 10 x 7s in the middle doors

Why can't you put them into all 4 doors I did in th Q and now have them in the U aswell they sit about shin height there's plenty of room just use 6.5" splits sounds heaps better than 6x9s and 7x10s

Can't put pics as I haven't done it yet, but this is what I have been thinking of

I have two 6 inch ( I think ) round in the front drivers side and passenger's side doors, these I will leave

I have two 6 x 9's behind the drivers and passengers seat, these were ok until the little kids started growing and are know kicking in the grills on the speakers, these have to be moved!

Current 6 x 9 location below

Mounting to roof above passenger seat idea below

I originally thought about mounting them at the rear doors up high and out of the way but after thinking about it some more have decided I will mount them above the rear seats and incorporate some reading lights for the passengers and some lights facing the rear for lighting when I open the rear doors, also going to incorporate some storage space for the kids books and toys

Well that's the plan anyway :)

Faded right, one in each door should sound ok I personally haven't worried about the sound system in the GU.
Last 4x4 had internal roll cage with huge amp etc hidden in the false roof, by could that pump out a tune.
must be getting old eh

As Healy mentions, 6" or 6.5" splits produce a better sound and generally easier to install and take less room (in most cases).

In the instance of auto windows, you can either put in "spacers" or look at shallow mount speakers, there are a few brands making these

I reckon 6x9s are crap... As said 6.5" splits will outperform any day!
