[QUOTE="JohnKuthe, post: 8524215, member: 670903"] I will certainly try and rig something up to muffle that rear wave as much as I can. The initial install of all the Alpine speakers was just to prove to myself I could do it. I thought I was gonna have to do major speaker mount modifications because Crutchfield simply told me the SPR-69 and SPR-50s were "not recommended" for my vehicle my 2006 Grand Caravan so I decided to see how much I was gonna have to modify. I was VERY pleasantly surprised all four 6x9's fit perfectly, but the driver's side SPR-50 on top of the dash needed about 1/4 spacer under the mounts so I bought a couple little 1 inch aluminum electronic cabinet spacers and cut them with a hacksaw down to 1/4ish and viola!!
