Hi, Z Specialties, Inc. in Washington State sells a rear speaker panel for the various Zs and ZXs (picture below). If any of you have purchased and installed, would you either post your experience or pm me? I'm interested in construction, fit, appearance, etc. It is the only product of its type I have found.

Thanks,

JGW

I think msa has one also. pretty much the same design. Don't be like the guy in tacoma that failed to bolt his speakers down in his Z and when he hit something they came forward and killed him.

If you talk to both places you'll end up going with zspecialties. Fitment looks great. Installation on a speakerbox... If you have trouble with it, I'll send my girlfriend over to install it.

I built mine using 3/8'" plywood and covering with the usual stuff available from a local custom installation shop. I used heavy cardboard to make a template. I've been told my fitment is superior to the MSA. About $30 in parts. Mounted with hinges hidden under the carpet and a small latch by the hatch latch for easy access. Make a nice complement to the 12" sub where I used to have a spare tire...(S30, though)

If you click "additional options" under the reply text box (using standard reply not quick reply) there is an "attach" option. Just browse to where your photos are.
