Rear Audio ideas?

I am currently looking for a way to add rear speakers to the wav. Just beacuse the front speakers have to be cranked up, just to hear anything with the window open and or on the motorway or it rains. Not looking for anything crazy just good enough I have attached some links ideas below.

I do like the idea of the motorhome style ones but it is a very mixed bag on reviews. Motorhome pod Speakers They do seem like they would be easy to mount on the rear pillars.

I have looked at speaker boxes also Speaker Boxes The only mount location that would not silly or in the way is under the rear seats.

I do not think just cutting them in to the side pastic would work as they are not pointing at anyone and one, one in the rear would be blocked by the spare wheel.

Ideas?

Re: Rear Audio ideas?

I fitted new door speakers for my Sony Xplod and they work well
but I also bought some 4" Pioneer speakers for another project and made cabinets
but that project was abandoned.
I haven't felt much need to fit these in the van as it's pretty quiet now and I don't think I really need them
I made the cabinets as compact as I could and they're roughly 150mm square and 68mm deep

Any van is a big tin drum so I insulated mine and it's made it much quieter
see in this thread

I also add deflectors to the doors to cut the wind noise and cruising on the motorway at say 65-70 it's
acceptable and most of the noise seems to come from the tyres and road surface so I don't have to
crank the volume up much to compensate

Yeah, one day I'll put some sound deadening in it. Just like doing 1 project at a time, otherwise I'll forget forget what im doing. Plus it is the daily so needs to be serviceable, so I cannot have too much going on at once. Plus it has a full roof trade rack for getting firewood which doesnt help noise. Those speaker boxes you made look thin enough you could flush mount them to the roof.
