hiding speakers

[ilai85]

hey all, im sure this has been posted before but i cant seem to find it....

my query is this:
i have a VR Calais and i just bought my headunit and i want to replace the stock speakers in the parcel shelf with a better quality set-up.

i want to, if possible, get the speakers hidden under the mesh of the current speakers. (make sense?)

has anyone successfully done this? if so, give me a run down on how, and what set-up you have.

cheers!

anyone else got ideas, tell!

hey mate i have pioneer 6inch (6.5 if picky, but no difference) 3-ways in my parcel shelf, they are easy as to install and sit right into the original holes, i'm guessing that all brands 6 inch speakers would fit straight in aswell. the speakers are excellent and u wouldnt know they were there (if it wasnt for the increased amount of noise and rattling the panels do). oh and the original wiring can be used u just have to put smaller terminals on, your choice.

get splits they sound heaps heaps better than coax speakers (2way3way r gay)

There's no need to get splits for the parcel shelf, save them for the front

what are the pros & cons?

true but if you have some splits from the front once you have put your new splits in then its all good.
splits: more expensive, better SQ usually, harder to mount, sound is more focusable (better sound stage), bigger choice the more money you want to spend (eg: not many $800 coaxials around)
coaxial speakers: the reverse of the above.
