I want to mount a set of rainbow 13cm components up front. The tweeters aren't a problem i can put them anywhere. But its where to put the speakers!

I'v bought some minitrailers door pocket/speaker pods from tomf on the forum but to be honest i won't be all that happy about fitting them. The qualitys good on them and all but they're just abit bulky and get in the way of the door winder abit.

So i'm thinking of other ways to mount speakers up front. I don't like the look of the custom consoles pods they look huge and look like they reduce leg room quite alot. I've not got a dashboard to put them in and want to keep my air vents.

So what sort of speaker pods can i make? What have other people done? Theres space under the dash rail for mounting them but if i make my own pods would the speakers need to be enclosed?

I was thinking about using these Link then putting them somewhere on the inner arch or something?

What else can i do?

link dont work.

would like to see what you come up with as i need to some thing simular in my Clubby Estate

what about under the dash rail?

[Ouster]

A guy in a recent (Dec?) Miniworld mag mounted them in the arches. Looked quite swish.

but again a pod in the wheel arch takes away leg room getting in and out

Nay, there were no pods - just the speaker unit in the arch. Not quite sure how he did it.

must of done something in the wheel arch other wise the wheel will throw muck all over the back of the speaker

I know theres space under the dash rail but what sort of slim pods can i make?

[Bungle]

why do you want the sound pointing at your feet ?

are your ears in a strange place ?

Linky for the lazy people

I guess they could work with a bit of modification, so they followed the shape of the arch.

Got a better idea?

[Bungle]

mine are in the door pockets and don't get in the way of the winders

but yes fitting speakers in the front of a mini is difficult and i guess its why rover didn't

[bert998]

im toying with the idea of putting mine in the roof of the clubby

[Bungle]

you must be a short ass or sit on the floor

They're not in the way of the winder so much as my hand is when using the winder...
