What to do with old speakers

[Deadpool Edition]

Morning all,

I’m hoping for inspiration and help please,

The vehicle in question is a 2019 SE Shuttle SWB

I’m soon to upgrade my basic head unit to Halo 9, have new Alpine speakers fitted upfront and an underseat subwoofer.

My plan is to keep the old door speakers and pillar tweeters, potentionally purchase a sub and create a removable “boom box” for the rear to incorporate the old door card speakers and tweeters.

Anyone have any recommendations for this? Or anyone done this before?

The more I try and read about creating an enclosure for speakers the more of a headache I get!Will I need multiple cable to the rear for sub and door card speakers?

Or can I get away with one set of signal cables? There are speakers in the rear already, can I use that signal cabling?

Better to go through floor route or up through ceiling?

Am I being too ambitious?

Depending on the response and my confidence to do this I will definitely create a build thread of people become interested!

Thank you all

Sounds like an interesting project.

As for the boom box,

The front tweeters are bonded to the a piller plastics and the door card speakers are moulded plastic including the spacer.

So best thing to do is wait till you get all the old kit out.

Lay it on the banch and see what inspires you.

Doesnt the shuttle have rear speakers anyway, in the side panels? Perhaps just upgrade these speakers too?
