6x9 in tailgate

[the gimpey one]

Anyone ever mounted speakers in the tailgate of their 60 series. I have a pair of 6x9's to mount but have no cargo panels.

Got some junk in the cargo area but most of it can come out. I'm just lazy...only thing that jas to stay would be my spare tire and jack.

I didn't wan't to cut holes in my panels or tailgate, so I just bought a couple of speaker boxes and used velcro to hold them down. If you need to move them you can and if you use long speaker wire they can even be put outside when parked.

I mounted mine above the tail gate on reversible mounts. These gets the sound above the load and allows me to broadcast rearward

Do you need some panels?

I wouldn't mount them in the tailgate.

I like this a lot. do you have a step by step

Do you need some panels?

Yes and no. Passenger side would be good but due to the extra seat in the cargo area behind driver I probably couldn't mount driver side.

I made a set out of mdf and covered them with grey carpet, they do have 6x9 cutouts. I am going to make another set in the near future if you want one or both.

Would be interested for sure. Just pm me the details.

I highly recommend NOT mounting speakers in the tailgate. They will collect dirt and water when opened. If you load anything large like furniture, lumber, tires, tool boxes, etc. they will get damaged. Plus, you won't be able to sit on the tailgate.

I got some cheap 6x9 boxes from Crutchfield and tied them to the floor with removable straps. This offers the flexibility of turning them around when tailgating or removing them entirely for full loads.

It's pretty simple to add the 6.5 stock mount brackets found in the 62's into a 60. Best option unless you really want loud tunes.

I already own the 6x9's. May re arrange the back of my truck and use the cargo panel area.
