Re: Speakers : 6x9s : Rear Deck install

["David Ruby" <dbruby@ainet.com>]

The closer the speakers are to the rear seatback, the less their weight will
be a factor when opening the hatch with deck attached.  Mind you, though,
the speakers probably sound better (acoustic bounce off the rear glass) when
mounted a bit further back (not all the way back, though).
I have been clouted on the head by my Mk2 hatch (the heavy one, with
spoiler, wiper, etc.); it isn't fun.  Now that it's getting colder, the
incidence of hatch-clouting will increase, so everyone, watch out!
(Remember from high school chemistry class that the pressure of a gas is
somewhat proportional with its temperature?  Also, at altitude, the pressure
is diminshed.  So, when you take your Scirocco skiing, forget it.  Bring a
hard hat!)
