David, 6x9 speaker are too heavy for such and installation and require too much volume to give you a low enough resonant frequency. Also, the high frequencies will be muted by the rear seat. It makes more sense to put large speaker in the front door panels, such as 6in 3-ways, because that will give you much better stage and stereo separation. Chris S. David Clarkson <Dvdclarksn@AOL.COM> wrote: Has anyone on the list fitted 6"x 9" speakers in the rear hatch of a late model Westfalia? My concern is that the weight of the speakers may be a problem as the hatch is shut and the speakers may cause the rear panel to come loose from the weight and inertia of the hatch shutting if not re-enforced some how. Anyone have any specific advice that will enable such an install? Thanks David Clarkson 90 Westy (240k)
