So, during Christmas holidays i decided to install a stereo in the Charger. I put a set of 6X9's in the rear and installed the front speakers in the cold air vent boxes. Here is a couple of pics.
First three pics are the driver side.
Passenger side.
:o thats a clever idea :yesnod: :thumbs:
That is very cool
that is pretty cool...what size speakers did ya run in the front?
at least sound will keep fresh, LOL
just a note... being unbafled, sound quality will be low. Not saying bad, simply not as spected on diagrams and design
somebody put an oil pressure gauge in for the co-pilot :scratchchin:
really like the speaker idea tho' :2thumbs:
So, you can't open the fresh air vents now because of the speakers??

Works wonders!
I have a full sweep temp & oil psi gauge there....I have them mounted upside down so I read the needle easier....out of the casual lookers view but can be easilly seen by the driver :thumbs:

That's what I was thinking also - :2thumbs:
Do you actually use the air vent function?
Dunno... I think what I would have done is make a sealed housing for grill replacement purpouse mounting there the speaker and keep it "bafled" ( thinking as a sound guy LOL )
or using a donor vent grill and seal it, mounting there the speaker
tough decision... correctness look and functionally use of the vent mind vs sound guy mind LOL

Not sure what you mean by keeping it bafled?
The vent is intact but cannot open it, I'm in Canada so we don't need cold air vents. :icon_smile_wink:
bafle it... get in enclosured
The sound ( specially lower frequencies ) goes to front and rear when the cone moves... but rear are 180º out of phase... when the rear sound gets to front may cancel some frequencies... not totally, but some.
everything depends on reflections etc...
also a bafle reinforces the front sound.
Blah blah... just being picky on sound...LOL
i like the idea it's cleaver in my opinion but i wouldn't be able to do that beacuse i need that cold are in the summer what size are the front speakers? did the rear 6x9 fit in with no modifications?

6X9's fit in the rear no problem, the front speakers are 5 1/4.
