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?
-
mine doesnt have speakers on the parcel shelf, but has speakers in the rear near the passenger arm rests. will have to grab a pic
-
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.

You tried Dynamat or similar?
-
i've taken a pic and put it in my gallery, once the pictures have been auth'd you'll be cable to take a peek!
-
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!
-
Dynamat is too expensive. There is identical material at your local garden centre that comes in large rolls and is cheaper.
Someone in this forum should know the name of it. :)

pics are up! :)

Nice motor Overseer :D
Anyway, this Dynamat stuff. Sounds good, and a lot cheaper than mucking around with filters and subs etc, but where do I fit it? In the door bins or round the speakers themselves?
-
Dynamatt is an anti vibration product that is available as a self adhesive mat or a spray product (for those hard-to-reach areas!) that you apply to the panels, not the speakers.
It works by drastically reducing resonance of body panels and trim (whatever you apply it to). Using this product can also insulate the inside of the car from external noise. As with many things, the more you use, the better the result.
Our fellow forum members are quite right in suggesting that there are other (and far cheaper) brands available. Everyone refers to it as dynamatt as it was the first heavily marketed product, but look around and you'll find essentially the same stuff for half the price.
Whilst you're doing it, you may want to stick some in the front doors and some on the boot floor. You'll be surprised how much difference a few rolls of this stuff makes!
