  • Adding the 2 rear hatch speakers

    Alright, my bird came with the base stereo. 2 speakers in the front doors and 2 speakers on the backseat side panels. I have aftermarket speakers in both locations and im running an aftermarket deck as well. Question is, can i add the 2 rear hatch speakers? The outline is on the back panels for where the speakers should go, it just isnt cutout with speakers. I could easily cutout the outline for where the speakers should go, or i could just find the panels that already have them cutout. The problem is the deck only has a 4 chanel output, and i would have 6 speakers? How could i hook them up so they would work? Get a separate amp to run them, or could you splice into the rear speaker wires and run wires back to the hatch speakers? i know that would cut the power in half, so that really isnt an option for me. any suggestions?

    Don't do it. You don't hear the speakers way back there anyways, they are just little 4 inchers. The money can be spent on much better stuff.

      thats funny, my 6.5 pioneers crank back there, I get mostly highs, some mids, but it all bounces off the rear glass....do it, you'll be happy you did when you really wanna crank your stereo.

        dont listen to the first reply i can hear mines same as other guy mostly highs n mid the glass helps alot and i even have two 12's back there but if you can afford a cheap amp like 60dollars then i would go with that to power em cause i dont recommend you splicing into your back speakers to power them

          If you have good enough fronts, theres no need for anything else.

            The 2 sail panel speakers would improve your sound stage. I wouldn't look for a major improvement over what you have since you already upgraded the front 4 and head unit, but you will be able to tell a difference nonetheless.

                  yes, a little trimming, and ghetto mounting, but they fit under the grills just fine.
