I'm thinking of adding plate speakers to the rear firewall around shoulder height to the sides of the seats. Anyone ever done this successfully?

I did that PC speaker test with some little 1w speakers. I found you don't need much but it was greatly dependent on axis and distance.
I made a rough back pad shell and have four of these VX-S35B speakers on order.
There is not much of a spec sheet so I am not sure what I will get. http://www.vidsonix.com/vxmarine.html#marine
This may turn out to be over kill with 50w max but my head unit puts out 22 RMS and I liked the 95Hz - 18KHz .
That will be another thread.

Looking for speakers, I may have found another option to the plates speakers, motorcycle speakers.
VX-M883BP or VX882FRB : http://www.vidsonix.com/vxmoto.html#moto
There may be a good way to mount these with out harming the OEM back pad. Maybe mount from the coat hook hole, something like that...
