I think there will never be any 4" speaker good enough to make a perfect
sound in a TR6. The problem is that there is no backing for the speaker.
They are put there and back it's your radio so the sound wont come out with
bass but only with treble. The thing I done is to put some marine speaker
with there own casing in the back of seats. They are 100% resistant to water
and the size with case is perfect for behind TR6 seats. I have an Alpine
CD-player and with this set up the sound is perfect even if there is no top
on the car.!! It's sure that in a original manner, you will have to take
them out before going to car show but with the wire clips, it take 1 minute.
Hope this will help.
