Speakers into the seat boxes?

[cotefarmboy]

Has anyone ever fitted any speakers into the seat/battery boxes? Thinking of some 6.5" units firing into the front footwells to enhance the mid-bass (as there is none right now). There seems to be plenty of room inside both for the magnets to protrude in, can't really think of any reasons why not. Assume these are not structural so cutting holes won't affect anything?

Will still be adding an Alpine SWE-1000 sub but reckon this could be a really good sounding setup.

I've seen speakers in the rear bulhead between the 2 front seats... This would project the sound forward rather than at yer legs....???

Why would you?  First time you wade it they'll be knackered.  We put them in the headlining on mine.

you can get marine speakers.

I'd think twice about it, the acid vapours from the battery eat the battery box as it is, OK mines 25 years old, you also have the increased risk of sparks mixed with Hydrogen from the battery...

i dont think they would be that good in the seat box for all of the prementioned resons plus sound would be worse quality than sound from speakers in the dash,
roof lining or rer bulkhead are the best options i think
