Subject:More on Pod Speaker Replacement.
From:John-Reed Maffeo
Date:Mon, 13 Dec 1999 12:38:40 -0700

The Pod Speakers on a non-Westy GL don't have any screws. They
are a one piece unit that mount to the cealing using a small
bracket.

While thinking about this, I have come to the conclusion that
the pods were made very light for a reason. If one was to
experience a rapid deaccelleration event (i.e. crash) the speakers
could be ripped from their mounts and become projectiles. The
heavier the speaker the more dangerous they become.

I don't want to install speakers in the rear panels, because I
often carry a load of camping equipment which would cover them up.

I will keep thinking about this and will report back.
