Help from local SMARTS...

Hello Everyone,
I am needing help and hoping that some of you have delt with this already. I want to install rear speakers in my Smart Passion Cabrio. Of course, there is no space already for these so I need to find space. I also do not want to loose all my storage/transport space. If anyone can give me ideas, I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you and have a great day.
Ryan

I installed 4 inch JL speakers on the rear access side covers for the tailight bulbs. No rear storage space has been lost.I ran wires and spliced to front speaker wires behind radio.EvilutionUK has the radio wiring diagram on his website.The speaker wires are color coded for left and right speakers.

If you put a good set of door speakers there is no need for extras in the rear

We just need to get you an aftermarket radio so you can take advantage of your door speakers.
