Speaker inserts

[Colin.Campbell]

Anyone know where I can source some speakers and inserts for the rear cubby holes?, also looking for a upgraded Radiomobile with bluetoooth

Colin, have you considered a free standing Bluetooth speaker connected to a mobile etc, can be simply taken away as required

Hi Steven, thought about that but want something more fixed in line with the original car, thanks for the feedback

The original car never had speakers in the rear!

Only speaker the car had provision for was in the dash grille/cavity of course. That certainly wont satisfy you if you are an audiophile, even with some of the after market options available for this cavity but many are quite happy with this. If you are looking for a very basic sound the attached photos I found some time ago of a ready made 'cap' on the market provides one option for the rear pockets but of course you loose this storage.
A lot depends on your budget. I am up to about 1,500 pounds for stereo parts/components only and counting..

The acoustics aren't well suited for audiophile quality anyway! I've had speakers fitted to the rear cubbies in mine and find that due to how close the seats are to the body, it sounds like only the opposite speaker is working, certainly with the roof down. Thinking I might get a twin-cone unit fitted under the dash grille but I understand working around the heater is a bit of an arse ache.

I have put the ej ward twin speaker under the grill. It's a bit of a fiddle and where the mounting holes didnt marry up i used thin cable ties. It does the job well when stationary or slow traffic but when the roofs down forget it at speeds above 40 mph. It's correct i think as Scar says your never going to get an open stag to sound audiophile good. Audible you might manage!

I went for round Pioneer speakers fitted into the Stag speaker inserts for the rear cubbies, and a Retrosound dual cone stereo speaker in the middle of the dash. The dual cone is 7" x 5" whereas the original speaker was 6" x 4". Siome other owners have simply jammed it into the available space, or drilled new holes for the larger speaker. I decided to go for the simpler option of Velcro with an adhesive backing. so fitted that around the existing hole in the dash in the appropriate place for the larger speaker to adhere to. Works absolutely fine. Is it hi-fi quality? Probably not, but good enough for me, and the orchestral sound of the V8 beats it hands down anyway!

I have a small speaker in the original dash mounted speaker hole. I have a tubed sub woofer in the soft top hole I have a powered amp under passenger seat. the amps cut off frequently can be tweaked a bit so u just don't get bass. works ok.

I've got a Calibre stereo that has speakers at each end of the radio fascia plate. no wires, no fitting ... Not the best sound of course but good enough for the environment. It works because of the advances in making much smaller speakers for stereo's, bluetooth devices etc.
