December 29, 2006:
Rear speakers installed!
George has now successfully installed (6×8) speakers in the back of one of his GPs – and confirmed that the stereo wiring to the rear positions does work!
He decided to install them into the foam “storage” piece that occupies where the rear seats would normally go:

George cut the “carpet” backing so that the speakers can sound through the carpetting, and the result is “stealth” when the cover is closed:

George writes (in the GP owners forum) Overall I am really pleased with the results and the addition of the rear speakers makes a quite noticable improvement with the stock radio and stock front speakers. Though the HK in Jayne’s S is still far better

That’s a beauty of an install. Very nice and it keeps the stock GP look!

I second that emotion. Very professional looking job, George. Now making me think, which is a bit hard today.

The one thing you can’t tell from the pictures, is that these rear speakers give zero bass, since they aren’t mounted in any sort of enclosure.
