Cleanest way to open up rear door speakers on an 11-13?
Cleanest way to open up rear door speakers on an 11-13?
Hey all, recently got my Holden head unit in and I can hear my rear door speakers working now, what have others done to open it up/ fill the holes? Also side note how difficult is it to put a speaker in the center of the dash and what would be recommended for there? Thanks!

I am guessing that you have a 13. I would keep an eye out for some 11-12 rear door panels and install a pair. Can’t help with the center speaker info.

They're longer, neither G8 or SS door panels will work. These door panels were designed no-frills for the police market. Simplest way is just to drill them over the speaker and put your choice of grille in to dress it up.
If you have $$$$ sometimes over on the Facebook side the correct-size door panels are imported in from Australia for these cars, but they are usually rather pricey. For you though the cleanest option would definitely be scoring 11-12 rear door panels since they are available here. The 13-17 cars all received the ultra-cheap door panels.
Good luck!
