In regards to your request for oponions concerning speaker placement, let
me tell you what I did. I own a music store and have access to some pro
sound gear. Soundtech makes a small 2 way speaker in a plastic housing,
model # ST5T. I put these on the
floor behind the seats, point them up, and get a really good sound with my
Kenwood deck. The list price for a pair of these is
$199.90. Usually I sell them for about $150.00/pr., give or take a few
dollars. There are other companies that make the
same type speaker, these just happen to be the brand I carry. One could
mount them to the floor I suppose, but mine don't slide
around at all. Hope this helps.
