Re: spider speaker placement

[Kevin Trent <trentkc@domain.elided>]

I made a "false floor" panel that lays flat behind the seats.  Essentially 
it lies across the small hump and provides enough space to mount 6x9 
speakers on either side with small "legs" to keep it flat.  Speakers face 
upward and provide good sound, and are not blocked up by the top when it is 
down.  I covered it with appropriate auto carpet that matched the rest of 
the interior carpet and, because it matches the footprint of the space 
behind the seats, it looks like it was the way the car was made.   I got 
the idea from a spider I saw at the Alfa convention in Phoenix several 
years ago.  It does not require any hacking on the car and is easily removed.
