2000 Rav4 5-door AWD
I picked up some Cerwin Vega mobile HED 6x9 speakers to replace the factory dead ones. At the moment I think using the stowage compartments on the side walls is the easiest option. But after searching I found nobody installing them in the rear door so that they face forward. Is it too shallow to surface mount there or what issues would I run into there? The location of the factory speakers baffles me. Low and small. Installing better speakers in the factory location seems counter productive. Pictures and advice would be greaatly appreciated.
If I install in the side compartments, I plan to buy some sheets of ABS plastic to mount the speakers and cut to mimic the compartment doors. Hit it with gray paint and port the compartment for air movement.
