Rear Speakers in W123 230e (1983)

[Endz]

Firstly, I'll post some pictures when I've finished cleaning the wee beastie (got dirty pics, need cleans ones to complete the set).

Front speakers easy to upgrade and I won't be chopping the dash apart to fit larger than standard there. It's the back ones that are my issue as this car didn't come with them spec'd up from the factory.

So I have a perfect rear parcel shelf with the original med kit still in place and I don't particularly want to hack it apart to fit some decent rear speakers so I'm digging around looking for workarounds/suggestions/genius solutions.


Oh and while I'm asking questions. What is that black plastic bubbly shape thing directly beneath the middle of the parcel shelf? Feels hollow but I'm flummoxed as to what is or does. Almost like a mold for oversize golf balls


All suggestions welcome. Currently about to pass out after a day of t-cutting. Damn that bonnet is big!

Have a look at these threads.. Back then they used to call the parcel shelf -- the hat tray/rack !!

Thanking you kindly sir! All that reading gives me an excuse to skip the wash/wax/wash/wax I was planning (for the car not me!) for tomorrow

The black bubbly thing is the vacuum reservoir.
