Sound system in an MR2

[ryman]

hey guys and gals, new to the forum so i thought i shout out and say gday.

i just wanted to know (people with 1992 MR2s or similar models) where the best place is to mount sound system equipment e.g. amp, sub (no bigger than 10") and where to mount splits in the cabin....

pics would be much appreciated... thanks

most ppls would get a small box made to house 8's or 10's and place them on the little "shelf" behind the seats...that way u can still store the t-roofs there.....if ur gonna use one box.....use the other side to house the amps......if not..then amps will have to go in the front trunk or in the rear trunk....the mr2 is so small in design its really hard to get creative with custom stereo setups...

ok put the amp and sub aside for a second, what about the splits?

is there a specific position on the door or dash that would help increase sound qual. and reduce the severity of the tweeter?

im mainly looking for the most effective way of mounting speakers...

even info about what sizes are best in such a small cabin would be good.

are there any links to similar threads to save you the trouble of repeating yourself?

I've never understood the sub in the frunk thing.

F*CK! how did it fit?

there isnt much room for such a big sub...did u cut a round hole in the firewall to fit it??

is there a way to reduce cabin noise from the engine, beside turning up the music?

any way of puttting sound deadening material?

i noticed the engine got a bit loud in the car.
