CX9 Sport 3rd row speakers ?

[fhernet]

Hi, I've got the CX-9 Sport 2009 and just found out that I can't get any audio out from the 3rd row seat.

Apparently the holes for speaker are there but they are empty. I just wonder if anybody can help me figure out how to install some in there or in the back.

Is any cable in that area that I could use? If you have done this, please place some pictures if possible.

Thanks a lot!(bowdown)

There are no speakers there, and no wiring harness.

Unless you get a factory speaker bracket, I would not recommend trying to mount a speaker there. The Air Curtain is right next to that spot.

I'm going to improve the sound by replacing the 4 door speakers with poly cone coaxial speakers. The speakers will be a lot better, and by being more efficient will make better use of the factory amplifier. Increasing speaker efficiency (sensitivity) 3db is like doubling your amp power.

I'm looking at the Kicker DS680 or the Pyle Blue Label PL683BL. Both very well rated speakers and a huge improvement over factory for little money and hassle.

Fhernet,

This came about in a previous post. http://www.msprotege.com/forum/showthread.php?t=123735877

To my knowledge they are not standard in the sport, but the GT model w/ NAV has the speakers in the third row.
