Don't mean to sound like a total wiseass but I can't beat these. The only catch is yes, you will miss important sounds like detonation etc. But I have em on/in every drive.
ear buds are my b plan when i'm out of a car stereo or something goes way too wrong.. best alternative i approve

Does anyone have any creative ideas for mounting speakers on a mk1 mini? (Other than cutting holes in the package shelf). I currently have two self-enclosed 3x9 speakers hung under the backseat. That leaves a littale to be desired with them facing directly into the back/under the front seats. lus I only get rear channel that way and they're very old at this point. Maybe there is some new speaker technology out now or maybe someone can share some ideas about what they've done to get good sound wired into their car.
Thanks!
I have a set of Mini specific speaker boxes i am willing to sell that fit under the front parcel shelf next to the door openings, looks like a 5 inch speaker fits in them similar in size to jedduh's picture but facing the driver and passenger.

Youll probably get alot of replies- " just listen to the motor"
But i feel ya.
Front channel can easily be accomplished with a nice tight 3.5 Speaker- and a home made box, Hang it under the shelf- Just thick enough for the speaker. Home Made YES

Speakers need enclosures to project- so are your rears under the rear seat boxed off well enough? solid front panel for them to be bolted into.
Later minis win with the speakers in the rear shelf- but if yours are uncut - leave it no cutting . another optoin is a sealed speaker enclosure either in the rear companion boxes- Or make a board for the speakers to mount to.
I added an amplifier to drive rear floor speakers + a pair of front speakers and they really drive home the tunes.
