1. Have any members fitted 6x9 speakers in the rear shelf that had a shallow mounting depth and did not require any cutting of metal? If so can you please tell me their make/model number. and............ 2. Lots of newer speakers all seem to come with bright coloured cones (yellow/orange etc) and are supplied with clear grills. Not my cuppa really, so could they be painted to make them more discreet? I have tried lining the inside of speaker grills with black acoustic cloth before and it always looks messy or cheap! Stu |

Stu, I fitted a pair of JBL gto 6 x 9 speakers a few years ago. Black grilles, black cones, shallow enough to avoid metal cutting and a very good sound for a car speaker - and I am very particular about what I'm prepared to listen to (having worked in the hi-fi and live music business for 30 years). Would like a tad more bass, but not prepared to butcher the interior of my car or carry sub boxes about. If I ever sell the car. these speakers are coming out first. I've already swapped them from a previous 190. Even better, they were half price at Halfords in one of their sales. Try to find a pair if you can. good luck Steve |

BUMP Would painting the speaker cones affect them? Just a quick spray of matt black paint to hide some garish colour? Stu |

Don't paint the cones. It will affect the sound quality and as the speakers vibrate at high speed, the paint will come off, probably in patches and look even worse. |
