August 30, 200618 yr comment_180496 Jim,As others have stated, Motorsport should have a box for you. Make sure though that you get a set of baffles for the speakers http://www.crutchfieldadvisor.com/ISEO-rgbtcspd/learningcenter/car/component_speakers_installation_guide.html?page=7. I have a MSA box in my Z with 6x9 Infiniti Kappas and neglected to install the baffles; talk about rattling the rear end!!! Went back and installed them and the sound is great - inside and outside the car. Good louck!!Cat:beard: Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/21377-rear-speaker-boxes/?&page=2#findComment-180496 Share on other sites More sharing options...
August 30, 200618 yr comment_180507 If you put a wooden speaker box in the back, how do you get to the lightbulbs?Just remove the mounting screws and the entire box slides forwards. Not the most convenient, but the bulbs don't burn out too often.

August 30, 200618 yr comment_180508 There are no speakers above the towers in a 78 280Z. They are just behind the doors and below the side windows.

August 31, 200618 yr comment_180528 I have a circular perforated area above the towers as well. I assumed that they were for the vents. As for speakers, the PO cut holes in the doors as well as the rear side panels and put in some ultra cheapo(even for the 70-80's) speakers.

August 31, 200618 yr comment_180547 There are no speakers above the towers in a 78 280Z. They are just behind the doors and below the side windows.Well, you're correct. I just interpreted his "above the towers" to mean this. Maybe that was a bit of a stretch.

September 2, 200618 yr comment_180877 OK, I finally got my camera, campact flash card, charges batteries, ZX, and my brain all at the same place at the same time, here is what I did. 2 10 inch Cerwin Vega!(before the buyout) woofers in a box (I did the math and got the correct volume behind them) fitted into the fender., carpeted the box to match the floors and roof panel, and painted the grills to match the plastic.
