Type 44 rear package shelf vs. audio configuration

[DeWitt Harrison]

Thanks for the wise words, Huw. And for the links to those audio
installations which look extremely robust. Sound advice indeed and
something to aspire to.

My basic plan is to use all the original speaker locations if I can come up
with attractive adaptive bezels for the door liner mounted speakers. I have
lined the insides of all the door sheet metal with that Dynamat material,
hoping for some benefit (at the cost of a few pounds weight, unfortunately).

Anyone have a type 44 parcel shelf liner in black?

Cheers,
DeWitt
