partypiece Posted September 14, 2005 Posted September 14, 2005 Just a quickie. Can I install 6x9 speakers in the parcel shelf supports already in place? The factory speakers must be slightly smaller, is it possible to hacksaw the gap bigger and slap in some larger speakers? Help would be gratefuly received, thanks
bluliz Posted September 15, 2005 Posted September 15, 2005 DONT cut anything. lol get some wood and cut it in to strips about 1 inch wide x 6 inch long. 5mm ply wood will do perfectly . 4 strips needed fit these in between the current 5x7 holes and the new 6x9 speakers. screw the strips in to the 5x7 mounts then screw the 6x9 in to the wood. keeps the car looking standard, and if u sell the car then u dont have to sell the 6x9s, u dont have to explain big holes or fet soem new rear quarters, just fit the 5x7 back in. if u dont understand how to do it. then catch me on MSN tonight or after the weekend. bluelizard92@hotmail.com
