i made up mounts and bolted 2 to the bulkhead

bulkhead acts like a huge sub when low bass kicks inn

hey i built two boxes, soundproofed them and fitted them behind the seats (depending on the seat, the boxes will have to be angled) i did only fit two speakers but im sure if you measured it right you could fit four, looks pretty neat keeps them out of the way and i use the top of the bulk head to keep the hi lift, also you can feel the bass going through the seat, dosnt dampen the sound as much as people might think and relitively cheap to do mine cost £5, also keeps them pretty clean when off road. on the other option you could fit two behind the seats and two on the back of the bulkhead and wire it to give them more bass to turn the back into more of a sub. hope this helps j

I fitted four speakers in my motor.
Two in the front, mounted in the headlining:


& two mounted in the rear:

Mounted in some thin plywood attached to the inner gutter.

would love them but dont think they would fit without cutting away or removing some panels due to mine being a county, so it has trim there.
may just do whats already been mentioned and put them in the roof lining.

roof lining is good but make sure you put a plastic bag on top of the to protect from the condensation dripping from the roof, not sure if it makes any differance but makes me feel better  :lol:
