Rear package shelf - po'd at the PO
The PO cut through the factory speaker grills in the rear package shelf to allow the magnets from his A/D/S plate-mount component speakers to fit through. Now I've restored all the leather in the shelf-seat-back module, but am at a loss as towhat to do with the (fugly) holes.
Options include:
1. Cut 'em even bigger to drop new speakers in from the top. Would require building up the top surface to allow a 3.5" drop from surface to substrate for new speakers. Perhaps speaker frames or boxes? Has anyone else installed new 6x9s in the package shelf?
2. Replace the module with a new unit from Original Fit Interiors (leather with depth enough for new speakers). ~ $250.
3. Fabricate some sort of cover and install over the holes and mount new speakers elsewhere.
Notes: Having made the decision on the set-up, the big issue is what to do with the shelf package. I'm not going to install big subs anywhere. I am going to use rear speakers (dual voice coil, bi-amped. I know, but that will be sufficient for my needs), and MBQuart components in the doors. The head unit is a Blaupunkt Tokyo. I'll be re-using the PO's A/D/S power amps and fitting new cross-overs.
