I Added Rear Speakers...SCORE!!!

vermithrax · 05-29-2012, 02:52 PM

Think I might do this also. I would prefer a set of Polk DB 3.5 speakers to match my fronts. Does anyone have information on how much depth/room there is? Looks pretty tight, I would hate to order speakers that don't fit.

Here are the size specs for the 3.5 in speakers I used. Yes, it was a tight fit. Compare these to your Polks.

Top-mount Depth (Inches) 1 9/16

Bottom-mount Depth (Inches) 2 3/16

Cutout Diameter or Length (inches) 3 3/16

I put Infinity Kappa 32.9cf 3-1/2" 2-ways in mine.
When I put in my sub, I think I'm going to do a little grinding behind these speakers because the speaker pushes out slightly on one side of the car.

The size of these speakers is perfect as far as circumference. I had to cut the connectors that go between the circular speaker hole and the mounting screw holes and they dropped right into place.

I agree with you 100% OP. I love the fill that mine give.
I fit the axiom, "If it's too loud, you're too old". I don't really crank up the stereo and never really have, so the fill helps surround me.

They will fit as I just put my drivers side in (waiting for my pass side touring panel so I can install my rear pass speaker and cargo cover). You will need to trim the mounting spots on the panel a little bit to make these clear.

I have the infinity 3.5" kappas in the back as well had to cut away a bit of plastic on the back to fit them flush. They do sound great though. Installed the Infinity Kappa 10" as well in the back with an sealed box that has the perfect air space. Used the Kappa5 five channel amp to save weight and space. I have it designed to save weight it has about the same weight as the spare and tools I removed from rear.
