Re: rear deck spacing along with stereo set-ups (1FUNVET)
Come on guys I need some visual help here. I want to what people have done considering the rear deck spacing we have and the fact that it's supposed to hold the t-tops. I want to see everyone has the speakers and such in the back.

Here is what I've done. Pardon the non-finished look, the trim pieces are still off in the pics.
Good luck and have fun... :cheers:

Re: rear deck spacing along with stereo set-ups (Rogue Wave)
I was thinking about mounting some shallow speakers on the doors of the rear compartments. Maybe move the battery to the center compartment if i needed the extra room. Would this produce decent sound? I havent seen it done before.

The center compartment? Have you looked at it recently?? It's about big enough for a pair of gloves and some extra bulbs (what I have in there). I believe the driveshaft is directly under it.

Re: rear deck spacing along with stereo set-ups (1FUNVET)
There are some specs, somewhere around here, for mounting rear speakers. What you end up with is something identical to what Rouge Wave has done.
I used these specs to mount 6X9s in the rear of my '76. Also mounted the essential fire extinguisher between the speaker enclosures.

Re: rear deck spacing along with stereo set-ups (1FUNVET)
When there is a stereo in, I run a tweaked home speaker set. One large amp. in the center compartment for the removable rear speakers w/ 2 long throw 4s (equil. to 2 8s) & a dome in each.
It ROCKS !
Rarely use it. The engine makes enough music for me.
:cool:

Re: rear deck spacing along with stereo set-ups (lostpatrolman)
I am going to be modifying my old sub box with 2 10" subs to fit back there I will then add mids and tweats to the front of the car with a small amp and I should have a pretty kick azz system with plenty of room for the tops in their bag,, But that will be later down the road.. I have alot of stuff to do before that happens :)

Too bad that setup would be wasted on my 77 as it is a "notchback", can't show it off :) But that gives me some ideas.. Did that guy give out plans by any chance?? :lol:
