    Default Boot stereo

    Hi all, i Have a vt commodore which i want to upgrade the stereo in... i have 6 1/2 alpine splits in the front and alpine coaxils in the rear doors, i also have a kenwood sub running off a fusion monoblock amp... but what i want is another set of splits in the boot so that when i pop the boot to get my mnusic cranking, i get more voice insted of just doof doof... i thought about somehow mounting them in the boot, so that when you lift the boot, they are there.... enyone have eny ideas, or pictures ?? cheers.

    Boxes in the boot as well is the way to go. Dont put anything in the rear parcel shelf if you have got a sub in the boot as the pressure from the doof doof will push on your cones if mounted in the rear parcel shelf.

    If I was doing something like this, I would custom make some fiberglass enclosures to sit on the inside of the boot lid, so when you open boot they will be pointing straight out. I would then have a switch on the speaker cable to the front door speakers, so when you switch it, the power goes to the boot speakers instead of the the front doors, could install the switch in minutes
