For the first time I cut the speakers into the rear shelf of the car with my own hands. I thought it would be more difficult.

Probably, every car owner wants to have a good soundmusic in your car.

OEM speakers usually sound quite satisfactory, but the bass and spaciousness are still lacking.

therefore often cut in to improve sound quality additional speakers in the rear shelf of the car.

Here I am, after much hesitation whether to spoil the rear shelf, nevertheless decided on this adventure. What came of this, we will consider below.

Additional columns (pancakes) I installed in the car Chevrolet Cruze.

First of all, he threw back the back seat and crawled under the shelf from the inside.

Where saw that there are already holes for speakers in the metal shelf of the car.

In the place of future mounting of speakers from a decorative shelf took off the felt and with a pencil drew the holes along the contour.

Then bent the ears of the decorative shelf and removed it, pulling it towards him.

Using a clerical knife cut holes in the decorative shelf on the applied markings.

Then he moved on to making a template.

For this on top of a metal shelf I placed a sheet of cardboard and outlined it with a pencil on both sides.

Then cut out a template along the contour with scissors.

And then according to the marking, the hole in the center.

I think the question has already arisen: "What is this template for?".

The fact is that speakers cannot be mounted on bare metal. When music is played, iron vibration and metallic sounds on the bass will be heard.

therefore you need a kind of sound insulation (lining). The template is needed just for its manufacture.

Plywood works well as lining, but she was not at hand and the OSB plate went into action.

On it posted the template, circled along the contour and sawed out with a jigsaw.

Then bolted fixed lining on a metal shelf.

Then I installed a decorative shelf on top, speakers on it and connected it to an amplifier.

I thought it would be more difficult, but the speakers fit perfectly to the regular holes in the metal shelf of the car.
