    Rear Door Speakers!?

    This weekend I went out and bought (2) 6 1/4" speakers and fitted them to the rear door panels, now I just need to cut out the holes in the door panels to fit them since there were none stock!? Has anyone else out there done something like this or does the 8g galant come stock with speakers there?! Thanks!!!

    8g does not come stock with this.. you wont really hear the speakers over your 6x9's in the rear deck anyway

    No the 8G does not have stock speakers in the rear doors, only the front doors and the rear deck lid.

    Damn zigen you beat me too it! :)

    ive contemplated this idea of placing speakers in the rear doors, but never went throuh with it. I have though, outfitted some tweeters in there though because i wanted more separation between the speakers and it sounds amazing. I'm personally pleased with how it came out. Glad to hear that yours is coming along well.

    I have had some similar plans to do this as well, but a lil bit different. When I eventually do it I will post pix as well. Ive seen this done before, & I have a pic of it on my computer, but it doesnt have internet. Looks good so far, keep up the good work.

    Fill in those edges with something and you, sir, deserve a standing ovation.

    Interior looks really good too by the way.

    eh...looks ok. what i might have done was mount the speaker and then cut a smaller speaker hole and try to get a speaker girlle to fit the contours of the door panel

    A fiberglass ring if you could be accurate enough with it to make it fit flush.

    or you can take the grill off the speaker.... take the boor panel off and afix the grill to the door itsself so it covers the hole.. have the lowest point in doorpanel sit flush with the back of the speaker so the grill recesses into the door panel

    Mounting the grille to the door panel would be easiest, but it looks like you already cut the hole as big around as the outside of the grille, not the inside diameter.

    sure. give me a pair of spekers and some door panels to modify.

    what youngin3 says is correct. you'd have an easier time if the hole you cut was smaller than the outside diameter of the speaker grille.

    with the hole being bigger you now need something to bridge the gap between the speaker grille and the door panel.
