Car is booked in for mapping/rolling road in two weeks, in the meantime I've been doing a few small jobs like recovering the 6X9 speaker pods I made about 6 years ago when I was driving the car around in it's rusty Berlinetta form!...these pods mean you don't have to chop the parcel shelf. I'll have to see what they look like in the car again, but it would be nice to have some proper speakers in there!

^^^^ yeah, i'm with him

cut the shelf, no offence but those boxes are not at all in keeping with the rest of the build quality

do you need speakers - you've got the sound of an XE on throttle bodies up front, that would be all I needed to listen to

:lol: haha, thanks for the brutal honesty chaps! Yeah you might be right, I also have some original manta speaker pods with some upgraded speakers, so they may well end up in there instead...just playing around with options/ideas, I have been thinking that it just ain't going to look right having big speakers on the shelf like that... but I needed to go that far to find out.

need some tunes for the long trip to billing though!

Door pods FTW :thumbup

I'm fitting door bars soon so will have to remove my custom door pocket pods if you're interested.....

Thanks for the offer Chris, but I'm not a massive fan of door speaker pods... like them to look stock.

cheers anyway though. :thumbup

Looking like I'll just go with the original manta rear pods with upgraded speakers, like you say the noise coming from the front will suffice 99% of the time I'm driving it. :D

I still can't believe none of you liked my speakers ... oh well :blink::lol:

Anyway it's on the rollers now! (Obviously it's still on its original suspension, so is sitting way too high!)
