rear speakers in a spider

[BHIGGINS2@domain.elided]

I installed a pair of Pioneer TS-TRX40 100 watt speakers [$99 Walmart] (they 
are in an enclosed plastic housing and are "weather resistant") in the rear 
of my 75 spider.  They really need an amp to use their full potential.  I 
have no problem hearing the stereo with the top down at top speed without an 
amp.  Nice thing is that you can mount them just below the covertible top 
when it is lowered so the top doesn't block all the sound when dropped like 
it does in my 76 spider with speakers mounted in the trunk wall up by the 
shock towers.  No need to cut holes into the trunk which can allow gas and 
exaust funes back into the car if everything is not perfect.  They are 
mounted high enough off the parcel shelf to still allow for some use.  I am 
going to install the TS-TRX40 speakers in my 76 Spider later this summer.

No financial interest in Pioneer or Walmart.

 Subject: How Do I Upgrade From 2 to 4 Speakers in Spider?
 
 Is there an easy way to upgrade the number of speakers in my 1990 Spider
 Graduate?  Currently I have only two speakers in the foot well's of the car,
 but I would like to install an additional two speakers in the rear cargo
 area like the Veloce models have.  TIA.
