hey guys, doing my new install and was wondering what you thought would be good for the parcel shelf?

cheers

Something discreet so you don't end up with a smashed back window and missing speakers....

[insamoufonyx]

its gunna be a show car, garaged when ever its not in use and considering the rest of the sound system on view i think parcel shelf speakers will be the least likely lol

[mayoturbo]

No need for parcel shelf speakers it just drags back the sound staging

i know enough about car audio to know where i want my speakers, i would just like some recomendations please

[redhotmini]

anything from the likes of Rainbow, Focal, JL Audio, Genesis etc.
Doesnt need to be anything mega expensive, although it can be if you want!
Oh, and mayoturbo, theres nothing wrong with having speakers in the rear, it just adds a little extra to the listening pleasure (and its a good starting point for a full on 5.1 surround sound system.

as said above, speakers all round give you a better sound quality overall, like suround sound... expecialy in a mini because there so small, im looking for somthing with around 100rms any recomendations?

[mayoturbo]

in a big car maybe but a MINI? a set of components amped upfront is plenty good enough

[redhotmini]

i do understand what you're saying, and its a very valid point, but some people prefer to have some sort of 'rear fill'. i just run a set of amped comps up front, to me its enough, but some people think its lacking something.

Speakers all round dont give better sound quality at all, it bring the music back behind your head. To replicate music vocals need to come from in front of you.

Especially in a mini because there so small??? dont think so sound from the front can easily be heard in the back.

You would be better off spending the money for rear speakers on sound deading, better equipment/cabling and good fabrication. Im only trying to help if you still want some rear speakers look at rainbow, genesis, CDT, hertz etc
