    I reckon @sANDYbAY should resurrect his speaker pod idea for the front fresh air vents...I'm toying with the idea of doing this over the winter...

    Two in kick panels two in overhead locker . Two in under bed panel connected to 200 watt subwoofer amp.
    "4x55watt" Sony stereo.
    Can hear it over the engine even at 70mph but some days I would rather listen to the engine. And not have to replace blown speakers.

    We have 2 speakers up front in the kick panels and at the rear (because I didn't want to see them in the overhead locker or have them under it) we mounted some retractable ones from an outdoor spa/hot tub. It also means the sound eminating from them is thrown forwards.

    When camping and fully set up we have the option to put them down to increase space at the back and it also means the wife doesn't have to listen to my choice of music whilst we travel along with her and the kids sat in the rear (she has recently discovered it's always warm up front though).

  20. if you want speakers have a look at these guys.

    Damaged packaging or slight imperfections in the finish but 100% usable. typically half the new price or cheaper. I have just brought 4 No. 6.5" speakers with separate tweeters and a 4 channel amp £108 delivered. all of its brand new the grills have a slight scuff on them but that's all. would have been around £250 new.

    Iv gone for Vibe slick its an entry level speaker but should be fine for what I want. I also have a slim sub that goes under the drivers seat. It adds a nice bit of bass but doesn't thump like the boy racer subs do.
