Another secret audio project done! ;), Pics and info inside... (UPDATE) Just added Infinity front speakers Options

[GotToyota]

I completed another audio project that I've been wanting to accomplish for awhile. The owner before the one I purchased the car from, decided it would be nice to take out his rear speakers before selling it, so I bought the car with no back speakers. I had always had the intentions of putting ones back there but I had no idea if the brackets were gone, or if there was even speaker wire there in the first place. So, I took off the panels and looked back there, both were still there. But I decided to do something else besides putting 6.5" speakers in the factory location. I decided to buy 6x9 boxes from my work, and add some 6x9 speakers to the back hatch instead of putting the stock ones in their location. I went out and bought some Sony 6x9's (normally I'm not a fan of Sony, but these speakers at my work (Best Buy), were the hardest hitting 6x9 while still containing clarity), and bought the boxes. The speaker wiring was a hack job, so I re-did all the wiring and put loom around the speaker wiring for minimum interfence. I also used some spare Dynamat to line the inside of the boxes, worked amazingly. I never knew how much of a difference rear speakers made until I realized what I missed when I didn't have them. Who needs a sub when you have two clear, hard-hitting 6x9's? I'd highly suggest this to anyone looking for bass on a budget. Here are some pics of the overall project completed, has anyone else done this before?









Pics look like crap because of night-time and flash, but it looks very clean in person.

I've been a busy bee! I also managed to replace my front Rockford speakers today with Infinity's. These sound amazing with the rear Sony's in. I'm officially finished with the cars audio system.

Here's a break-down of what I've done:

- Dynamat'd doors, panels, and hatch
- Alpine 9870 w/ iPod cable
- Infinity Reference 6.5" speakers
- Sony 3-way speakers in Dynamat'd 6x9 boxes




The spare Dynamat I had really came into use.
