Hi Neil. I've got a set in my van. They do sound great but they draw a
lot of power since they are actually house speakers. I have them
mounted on angled brackets on the lower part of the doors, pointing
up. They stick into the foot area just a little bit -- I really
couldn't figure out any other place to put them. I also have a white
pair that I put in the rear as well. I'm going to be installing a new
sound system later this summer, so you're welcome to the setup---I'll
let 'em go cheap. I'll send a pic of the way they are mounted if
you're interested in the brackets as well.
