I'm getting my new F on Friday. All my I.C.E is ready to be installed but I have a question.

Where is it best to install the rear speakers, rear doors or the Boot/Parcel shelf?

Baring in mind base, sound quality etc. Can someone let me know what the base is like on the shelf as opposed to the rear doors. I assume it wouldn't be as good??

Cheers

Chris

Please don't mount the speakers on the standard shelf.
Make a new shelf from 12mm MDF, and a 1/2" steel bar to reinforce it.
What you need for bass is a woofer in the boot. A nice set of 6x9's in the shelf will complement the bass, but don't expect big bass from speakers in a shelf.
They should be more for rear fill, giving a better surround sound feeling.
Bass is more about feeling it, rather than hearing it.

Cheers for that Neil. I thought as much but just wanted to check.

I'll have to put them into the rear doors for the time being until I get an amp/sub.

Cheers

Chris
