I believe I have answered two questions for myself:

- what should I do with the black bars that came with my roadster roll bars (now installed in my coupe)?
- where might I put a set of "rear" speakers?

I was looking at the bars after I installed them and it came to me - there are a few speakers on the market that have a triangular cabinet that would fit into the black bars if they're put on the roll bars backwards. And if I could find a speaker enclosure that fits in the space, it would be a great way to get better imaging from my stereo and use those rear speaker leads that came with my aftermarket head unit without making any holes in the interior panels.

So I did some long hard searching to see what I could find. And I found two interesting possibilities:

- Infinity TSS-SAT450 or TSS SAT750


- Klipsch Quintet III


That's right - satellite speakers for surround systems...

Here's my reasoning - I want:

- fully enclosed to mount in the roll bar space
- high quality but small enclosures
- at least two-way speakers

The primary reason for these speakers is to help with soundstage imaging. That's what they're made for in surround sound systems.

So either of these will probabably work fine. I listened to the Klipsch at Best Buy and they're great - nice and clean and good quality sound even at low sound levels. I can't find the Infinitys locally but expect they're probably much like their small 4x6 mounted speakers I have already.

Anyway, I'm trying to source the Klipsch speakers separately and then have a go at installing and reviewing them.
