My rear speaker
install. Copyrighted :)

12:04
PM 8/8/2002

i have come up with a perfect template for
custom rear speaker boxes that hold 6x9'. I was able to make
something that took advantage of the old stock brackets so it
would fit snug. This plan took a really long time to make so
you can send your donations to justin box 32............ WHat you have to do is remove the rear
speakers then romove the mounting support (the black piece of
plastic with two metal brackets) then drill out the rivets so
you have the two metal brackets off the plastic and then
attach the stock brackets to the new template as shown in the
second picture. If you have any questions about it gimmie a
shout or post up here. I'll show the pictures of the finished
product tomorrow. I'm going to put together the real thing
tonight.

That is something similar to what I did but I
mounted it a little different and I angled mine a bit more and
made a triangle piece to mount on top for a finished look.

wow guys, please post all the pictures you can.
Or you can email them to kevin[at]playtruth.com

I'm interested in both of your setups. I have a '79 and I'm
lookin for a setup that will still allow me to put my T-Tops
in the back

Armstrong, I tried to make mine similar to
yours but i got confused about how you actually mounted them
in the e-mial you sent me, so i took advantage of the stock
brackets. i also have a top piece on mine, thats what the
stock brackets are attached to. After they are built i'm going
to cover them in red carpet or vynal. I'll take as many
pictures as i can as i'm building it with the digital
camera

Armstrong... I like what you did. That
looks sharp.

I've got some pictures of what I did and they can be viewed
at http://rogerdean.org/Corvette/speakers.htm

Good luck and be sure to post pictures of the completed
project.

yeah, I really like what you did Armstrong.
What year is your vette? Are all the trunks in C3's relatively
the same? I'd like to fit 2 6x9's and 1 or 2 8" or 10" subs in
the bacl, with room for my T-Tops still. You should make a
tutorial, with dimensions and everything for your boxes
armstrong. You too Justin.

PS, Armstrong: do you have any more interior pics of your
car? I'd love to see them.

If you are going to put a sub you won't need
6x9s, it would be better to get some quality components or
smaller coaxials. I've been looking for a way to put either 2
12" or 10" subs back there and still keep t=top room. Don't know if it can be done yet though. I
think i will let the local stereo shop build the box for me, I
hate woodworking

Why wouldn't I need 6x9's? (I'm not an
audio expert). Right now the only speakers are the 4x6's(?) in
the front dash. There is nothing in the
rear.

Drumroll please............ Here is what i was
working on all night long until about 12:30. I built the boxes
then put red vinyl on them with glue and held them in place on
the back with staplegun nails. I think it's a pretty clean
install. If you want any info on what i did in more detail
shoot me an e-mail or put a post up

WOW, that looks really good. How does it sound?
Do they fit in there snug, so they won't come loose while
driving, or did you secure them in there?

I'd love some more pics/dimensions/anything else. I want to
make boxes like those for my '79. Are you going to make any
boxes for amp or subs?

First off, is it wrong that this pic .....

....gives me a ??!!??

Second.....

I SOOOOOOO MUCH want a copy of those templates and a
complete write up of the bracket work.
I will pay money for
those templates -- seriously -- cash money for those. You made
copies of the finished product right ??
I would pay even
bigger bucks if you were to make a set (withouth the
vinyl).
E-mail me at [email-masked] and let me know how
I can get more details --- PLEASE

You don't need to charge money. You are giving
back to the vette community, that should be enough

You should write a tutorial for corvettefaq.com or whatever
though. You did a great job. Same with
armstrong...

Well, i don't really want to make a new set,
it's alot of work, and i'd have to take the old ones out
again, but what i can do is write up a description of what i
did and send it to you with the templates. I'd be more than
willing to do that if your interested. The only thing you
really have to modify is the stock brackets. You just have to
change where they bend because the have to sit lower due to a
thicker wood being used. Other then that, it's pretty basic

If the cardboard cut outs are close enough, you
should photo copy them and make them avail. as templates.

Looks really good, and the color is a nice
match to. Since your engine rebuild do you have any new
pictures of the motor now ?

Sweet job! Sure hope your better than I am at
explaining. You got my basic drift and improved on the
mounting by using the original brackets. Yes it is alot of
work and it's pretty tight back there. I couldn't imagine
someone too terribly large working back there for too long.
Heck I'm only 5'3" and it was bad enough for me. Just wanted
to say GREAT JOB! and for those who who would like to see more
pics go to the link below and the stereo pics are at the end
of the album.

Right now the only speakers are the 4x6's(?) in the front
dash. There is nothing in the rear.

Basically 6x9s are made to provide decent
bass in a system without subs, which you will have, so the
benefit of the larger speakers will be nill. Nothing wrong
with using them, but you may be able to get some nicer, say 5
or 6 inch component systems for the price. May also help on
reducing install room so you will have room for those
t-tops.
