What is behind the panel that is directly behind the seats? Is it possible to cut a hole in it and fit some speakers? If so has anyone ever tried this?
Sorry if it's a dumb question

I've lost my speakers behind my seat in the F as I've fitted roll hoops. I know you can get an adapted bracket to make them fit but I was after fitting bigger ones.

Re: Speakers
The panel covers the fuel tank, so making holes in it is not a good idea

Re: Speakers
I never really thought about where the tank was and all along I'm sitting right in front of it!!
Lucky I didn't attack it with a jigsaw
Thanks for clearing it up. Back to the drawing board to incorporate some nice speakers

Depends on the hoops, some fit without effecting the T-bar speakers.hammond wrote:I've lost my speakers behind my seat in the F as I've fitted roll hoops.

Re: Speakers
Mine ones have definitely stopped me from refitting the speakers. I wanted bigger speakers anyway. Maybe on the floor behind the seats now.talkingcars wrote:Depends on the hoops, some fit without effecting the T-bar speakers.hammond wrote:I've lost my speakers behind my seat in the F as I've fitted roll hoops.

Re: Speakers
I have a Kenwood active 8" under seat sub behind the passenger seat.
I think if I was you I'd probably go for an under seat sub, and a decent set of door speakers and tweeters which should go some way to compensating for the loss of t-bar speakers.
