6x9's in the rear speaker pods-possible? Options

[hardcoreproducer]

has anyone managed to get 6x9 speakers in the rear speaker space? it looks as if there's loads of room but do you need special adapters and if so where can i buy some?

I've chosen to put in a set of 4ohms 200w 3 way 6x9's which I've had for a while and not put in yet.


First look at the origional speaker. It's mounted to a plastic y mount which is bolted in 3 points.
I've cut a piece of 5mm MDF with 2 points to mount the 6x9's by copying the holes from the origional.


Next try mounting the speakers to the car. Cut away any unwanted edges and line up the holes perfectly.
I've used the origional screws to mount the MDF. But remember the top right screw as I need to bring a point to that later on.


Next make a flipped copy.


Spray them black


Wire it up and mount it on.
Now remember that top right screw? Well that's screwed on from the inside out towards you. The reason for this is becasue I needed the screw to go through the MDF and then to bite onto the threads of the car body. If I had screwed from front facing in it would have went through the threaded body of the car then to the MDF behind it. MDF will eventually break/fray and wear off over time and vibrations so it will eventually fall off the screw if I didn't do this.

Last of all cut away the excess plasic and sand it down so you dont cover the speakers and making sure the sub dont hit this plastic when it moves in and out when you turn it up.

End results looks exactly the same as before but just sounds 100 times better!

Maybe next week I'll change the front with 8" subs and put in tweeters in the corners so I get some extra bass.
