I was looking at the same thing yesterday, those side vents on a 1600 look perfect for speakers, but mean no heating in winter.
Those vents don't put out heat?
good point... fresh hot air in summer then :)

Thinking of having another go and use a tub of builders bog to get the lines a bit more cohesive and flowing. Wasn't sure if I was going to like the positioning so only spent a couple of hours on them. The boxes are 8mm MDF with 4mm backing and fixed the same as the original kick panels using those little clips through the MDF. The enclosure volume isn't massive but big enough for the 4"'s I reckon.

Hmm, I like. Done deal, I'm going to work on something like that me thinks.

Had a similar thought when doing my install, didn't want to cut up the door trims but wanted some sort of front 'fill'. Ended up building some kick panels to accomodate a pair of 4" speakers, tucked up reasonably high so when you look in through the window you can't see them - but when sitting in the car around 1/2 to 2/3 of the speaker shows itself so you get some unmuffled front stage.

Being 4" they are never going to set the world on fire or win a sound off, but are acceptable with a pair of 6x9's in the rear parcel

Still might try a MKII version if I get bored
where did you get that cluster surround made and by whom? Have you got any more pics of it or the install?

cheers

Mounting in the kick panels is def the way to go.

For sound quality, its best to mount tweeters as close to the woofer as possible also.

If the enclosure could be made bigger then thats better. Use thick mdf as the baffle (The wood you mount the actual speaker into with screws) and all internal surfaces should be deadened.

If you already have holes in your door trims for speakers, then follow the same principles - thick wood for mounting and deadening.

I prefer to hear the sweet sound of a datto engine at WOT personally.
Car audio is overrated...
Plus 1 in all of that... Front speakers don't belong in a datto. I have some tweeters in the front for a bit of intelligibility and 6 x 9's in the back. Job done :)

Amen, front speakers don't belong up there, loving the tweeter idea though!!!
