[urq] Door Speakers

[Louis-Alain Richard]

Why don't you add a stand alone subwoofer somewhere? That way you'll have
all the bass you need and combined with high-quality speakers in the OEM
location, that should be enough.

That's the setup my computer uses: 2 small 1" speakers in each "wineglass"
pods plus a big subwoofer (Harman Kardon stuff). And you know what? We
usually use this computer for the music in a party, that's how powerful it
can be.

There are also a couple of places where you can install speakers without
cutting anything: 
- in the 2 rear armrests holes (I have installed a fire extinguisher there,
just in case...)
- in the recess behind the rear seat, in front of the actual speakers. A
custom box with low-profile speakers can be placed there without cutting any
sheemetal or impeding the rear view.

HTH,
Louis-Alain
1983 urQ with plenty of holes in the doors and on the rear shelf but no
speakers in there.

Well, BIll does ahve a good point. But then, he *always* has a 'good'
opinion..  :-)

You can get better dash speakers, that can be made to fit. But they still
won't have much bass. So you'd still be looking at cutting the doors.
You could use some FWD coupe door panels. No harm in cutting up them!
I've also seen a sort of speaker 'cabinet' that replaced the door bin.
However, the commercial ones i've seen  were custom designed for some Golf
or
Jetta door.

GOod luck!

Skip the car stereo, and enjoy the sound your car makes instead, if you
still
need music instead of your car's music, head phones Bob, with ports for your
passengers and extra head sets for them and a MP-3 player plugged into the
formally known as cigarette lighter, now known as "power outlet" I listen to
music in my other car, I listen to my URQ when I drive her. Bill

  Im have a dilemma.  I want to put a nice stereo in the UrQ but the tiny 
  dash speakers are a total waste of time and space. I wanted to put some 
  6" Rounds in the doors but my door panels look like they just came from 
  the factory. I really dont want to cut holes in them.  They are the dark 
  blue too, which I cant get replacements for (every audi dealer I've      
tried said they never came in dark blue) *sigh*

  Suggestions?

  Thanks
