Have you got one? Which seat do you install it under?

Hi I have one under each front seat, they dont affect foot room in the rear at all and cant be seen. I think quite a few people on here with the newage cars are using them. I am very impressed with them.

i bought some 6x9 at the weekend only to find out that they dont fit in the parcel shelf. To get them to fit i would have to cut some of the metal. It was a pain to get them out aswell.

You can by special audio shelves or make them easy enough from MDF

I fitted some 6x9s (kenwood subs) in my rear shelf (classic) at the weekend. Used some mdf spacers, and drilled a couple of holes into the metal for small bolts. It was a pain, but worth it. From the inside, it all looks standard.

You dont have to cut any metal, all you do is mount the speakers from underneath. They just fit and the hole is big enough and you dont have to cut the shelf cover either.
You can get Kenwood 7 x 10s to mount underneath aswell but you need an amp then.

Yes, they're the ones that come with the amp. A few Scoob owners have bought them, search this section of the forum for WDA69RC. I'm happy with them, they do just what I want. That said, they won't be what bass hungry ICE fans want. I'm into my hi fi, and I like decent sound quality. While this is a bit tricky in a car, I do at least want the bass to just blend in, rather than thud in an obvious poorly integrated way. It will thud if you turn it up, but that's not what I want, and the kenwoods are great for £120 http://caraudiosecurity.com/shop/pro...s_id/2619.html
