Sound system in a lupo?

[sesterfield]

Hi there guys,

I was talking to a mate today (owns a black lupo), and he said he wanted to uprate his sound system with some rear speakers to give some bass, but his parcel shelf isn't big enough for 6x9s.  After a quick look around the car the only way I could think of mounting any 6x9s would be on a raised boot platform made of mdf.  He isn't interested in buying a sub so just a box is out of the question

I was just looking for any input you guys might have, since I can't think of any other way of doing it

Thanks

I doubt that'd make any difference at all as 6x9's are freeflow speakers needing a boot under them to work properly.

What about fitting a 8" sub on the shelf?

On closer inspection he can just about fit 6x9s if we build another shelf I'll try and persuade him to get an 8'' sub too

you'll never get a good system with bass without a sub. focal make some cute 5" subs that work with a 5-8 litre box. I think they're about ?130 a peice, but this is focal. anyone that knows ICE will tell you.

If you cut a 15" hole in the roof, then you've got a ready made sub enclosure, you may have to tape the windows in, but at least you'd still have room for the shopping
