rear speakers Mk 3 golf
« on: 14 November 2003, 18:39 »
Does anybody know a way of putting speakers in to the rear of a 3 door golf mk3 without cutting into the parcel shelf?

My VR6 has speakers in the back already, is yours not the same??

If it is, just prise off the mesh and all will be revealed!

Is yours a 3 dr model?

Just had a look in mine, and cant find any mesh in the back. maybe I'm not looking in the right place, where exactly is it?

That'll be great if you can, as I have no idea where the speakers should go.

Thanx

This is what i did to my mates mk4 Polo.....

On the rear parcel shelf suports i drilled small equel holes.
Hot glued some uprated speakers under these supports and it looks factory. (the holes let the sound through)

Just like the MK2 golf rear speakers if you dont know what i mean mate.

Don't know if it's the same as the 5 door but there are two 17cm speakers by the rear armrests. I put two Kenwood speakers in for the factory fit items and it sounds pretty good, only problem being the bass can vibrate the rear door bins really really badly. If anyone knows how to stop this it's be much appreciated.

Modifications -

1 x Kenwood KDC-7024M
1 x Dull Aluminium Golf Ball Gearknob. Clearly worth about 10bhp on its own.

You tried Dynamat or similar?

Vibration in the doors is common, you can go dynomat and/or spray.

If it's only vibrating with the bass frequencies (which is common) try a bass filter and add a sub!
