Fitting 6x9 Speakers in Parcel Shelf

[Scott]

Here Are Photos of how i fitted my 6x9 speakers into my parcel shelf

Started with applying a piece of mdf for support to the parcel shelf, Cut the holes in it and glued it on



Next part was the fibreglassing to get the shape i wanted then sanded down

















Then went to halfords and got 1metre x 2metre of enclosure cloth, and a can of adhesive spray



Then cut it to shape and fitted it on









Then fitted 6x9's speakers in









Then Put it back into car









All Thats left to do now is to retrim the wood that is visible round the holes that the 6x9's sit in
and job done

Mazda spends thousands trying to shave kilos of the wirght of the car and then you do this!!! :

Nice guide though, thanks!

Angelos : Suprisingly Its not to much heavyier without speakers but the boot still opens fine

Wades: Lol for where my 2 gains weight, she'll lose it in other places

You can do this radical changes when you have car on leasing? And what you have in plan? Bonnet? Seats? Breaks?

The most i have done is fit a second cirggerette lighter plug up near the indicater. As you have fitted these did you have to modify anything  im thinking changing the door speakers at the rear seats to 6x9 or is it really case of a new head unit to be able to do this.

CAn somebody recommend some better speakers to fit them (without cutting, drilling etc) into front and rear doors? Those fabric speakers are quiet good, but I miss mid-tones almost...hmmm?

[angelos]

I find them quite good too as factory speakers! I don't know if factory nit supports updating them, I think there is a switch somewhere on the net :/ ...
