Rear Speakers

[Gregg Benedict]

Has anyone installed rear speakers in a '57-'59 Imperial? I assume the openings in the rear deck behind the seats are made to accept 6x9's, but not sure. It looks like I may have to do some cutting on the cover to be able to hear the speakers as well.

This is for the front speaker, yes? I'm talking about the rear speakers.

Remember that back then, only ONE rear speaker was normal. No factory stereo radios, so no need for two speakers back there. There might be an air intake hole which can coincide with the speaker size, that was for a possible rear heater/defroster option?

Back in the early Eighties I mounted two 6x9's in the package shelf of my 1959 Savoy with NO cutting or drilling. Mounted from underneath like it was designed for it. Print this template at the following link or find your own and see how it looks.
