Is there anyway of putting speakers in the front of an escort (mark II) without it looking like absolute crap?

Any help would be appreciated, stuck for ideas ATM :(

The easiest place, and the most reversable, is in the kick panels. Fairly easy to make a template from MDF and or build upon depending on your speaker choice.

Dont cut up the door trims....

A pair of 6 inch splits work well behind the center console.

A 6x9 will fit where the standard speaker goes. Use the same screw holes in the dash and the 6x9 will fit, angled away from the wiper mechanism underneath.
Speakers in the front side air vents are a popular choice.

Good luck with it.

The only problem with kick panels and behind the consol is they will sound like Shizen.

Speakers need air behind them and there aint any behind the kick panels.

You will end up with speakers that sound like the hand held transistor radio that your grand pa used to take to the races.

Its pretty much in the doors with some decent MDF mounts or dont bother

Hi Mate

Pete has used door pods which look good.

problems guys :( I got some pods from work, and they look fine except they don't fit 6&1/2" speakers :( you can "trim" them but then they'll look like crap and have over hand all over the place.

That's what I have, I checked out DNA, Aerpro, Stinger, Axis and couldn't find any 6&1/2" ones, does anyone know where I could source them from?
