they'll be mounted with velcro on the rear deck...since my windows are tinted they shouldn't be too visible unless the they're lighted up

Hey Miraiz,
I'm just going to lend some quick law advice.
If you do plan on just strapping those speakers down on the rear deck with velcro,
I wouldn't recomend it. Only reason being is that if you were to ever get in an accident, those speakers can + will fly off very easily and could hit you in the back of the head. I've seen several cases of this and the end result is the passenger or driver ends up with brain damage. Not only that, you are liable for any damages as you would have failed to "properly" secure the speakers inplace....

Just my 2 cents.

thaks for the advice...actually, they're prett heavy so they'll probably just tumble into my back seat...besides, I'm short so my head doesn't clear the back of the hear rests Recaros have pretty high backs...

If you are in a collision where the car goes from road speed to zero instantly, those sure as hell will fly forward, and the heavier they are, the more dangerous they are.

they look nice and all, but why not just get upgraded speakers for the OEM locations?

i dont think that small gauge wire will stand up well to a multiple g speed reduction

I once saw an accident picture where an umbrella, sitting on the rear deck, went through the back of a seat and spear a guy (he died btw).

Don't underestimate how much energy that many G's will have.

You are comparing a spear like object to a big fat speaker

The point is--you should not have anything on the rear shelf that isn't affixed firmly. It's just not a good idea.
