So this weekend I'll be swapping out my M-edition seats with speakers in the headrest for some fixed back buckets. I was originally thinking of just building a small speaker box and putting it in between the seats on the rear shelf. Well my friend came up with the idea of just getting some speakers that clamp onto a bar, like the ones they use on boats for wake towers. Just curious if anyone has ever tried this, seen it done or has opinions about it. I don't see why it wouldn't work as long as the speakers are the right size and I personally think it would look pretty badass if done right. Let me know what you guys think!
make your car watertight and drive it into a lake, then crank those tunes and get wasted. when you're wasted, nobody will care how the speakers attached to your wakedog hardwake rolltowers look.
I guess everybody is missing the point here. Im trying to keep speakers behind my head so I can hear music with the top down on the highway. Am I doing this just because I think itll look cool? no.
Though I feel something like Jimmy_Vee suggested would be the best thing to do, I kinda want to see how speakers mounted to the actual roll bar turns out.
I like this, I've never seen something like this before I'll look into it a little more. I should be getting the roll bar in in the next few days so I'll have a little better idea of what I'm dealing with.
I agree, get an amp for your new Alpine door speakers. My previous '99 Miata had a small, 4-channel amp installed in the passenger tunnel in the trunk with cheap 8" Lanzar speakers and a nice 2" IIRC, full range speakers in the tweeter location.
I could raise/lower the sound field with the fader. With the top down, I preferred the 2" a little louder but no matter how the fader was set, it would easily hurt your ears with the top up and was clearly audible with the top down. I set the amp gain so most of my music was able to be played near 100% volume on the head unit without distortion.
The only thing keeping me from duplicating the setup on my '01 is this frigid winter, bypassing the Bose amps, and the pain of running two sets of wires into the doors through the OEM rubber boot.
