Subject:Re: 6"x 9" speakers in rear hatch

David,

  6x9 speaker are too heavy for such and installation and require too much volume to give you a low enough resonant frequency.  Also, the high frequencies will be muted by the rear seat.

  It makes more sense to put large speaker in the front door panels, such as 6in 3-ways, because that will give you much better stage and stereo separation.

  Has anyone on the list fitted 6"x 9" speakers in the rear hatch of a late
model Westfalia? My concern is that the weight of the speakers may be a
problem as the hatch is shut and the speakers may cause the rear panel to come
loose from the weight and inertia of the hatch shutting if not re-enforced some
how. Anyone have any specific advice that will enable such an install? Thanks
