vs speaker install, please help

[someaussieguy]

Hi, i'm trying to put 6x9 speakers in the parcel shelf area of my vs exec sedan, but i'm not sure how to go about it. It just has that metal plate where the factory speakers go and obviousely the new one's don't fit.
Should i tear the plate out and screw the new speakers into the flimsy parcel shelf itself????

any help appreciated.

Thanks, but i dont really know what the spacers are, do u just screw them to the speakers then the shelf? i dont think the shelf is strong enough to support it but maybe i'm wrong?

hey mate if your useing the 6x9 for bass aswell id recomend that you put them in box's they sound alot better that way, its only like 20 bucks for each box and they preaty much cover up the hole and ifnot just get some carpet and cover it up, bold the box's to the parcel shelf. thats what im doing as soon as i get my amp in

te shelf's carbord/carpet/chipboard material will be fine with the 6x9's.
the problem with boxes is that they stick out like dogs' nuts.
spacers are just something made from either plastic, mdf or fibreglass. they raise the speaker up about an inch.

Cutting the parcel shelf alters the structural design of the car and is therefore illegal.

Spacers are legal as far as I know because you do not cut into the parcel shelf.
