Haven't attempted it but i reckon it'd be quite a tight fit.

not enough room I doubt.

Why not make a parcel shelf from 2 peices of 12mm MDF. Cut the centre out like the std shelf & then mount tthe 6x9s from underneath. Put some mesh accross then use grey acoustic carpet to cover the whole lot.

I did this on my 1st Nova & you'd never know it had rear speakers.

Or bin the 6x9's get some decent components, maybe in door builds?

You don't need speakers in the back, it's only for rear fill anyway.

Far better spending the money on a decent pair of comps (IMO)

True if you are using a sub(s). Bang for buck off a head unit though, 6x9s make the most noise.

nah not gonna be anything flash in there, prob not having any subs.
I do have a stealth shelf but its in the missus SR as I borrowed her old one and it went walkies along with the car :roll:
Think the MDF idea is looking quite a good one

personally id put components into the rear qaurter panels

[LEWI007]

the rear quarter panels that would be nice ive been thinking of doin that

simple solution using the rear parcel shelf and some mdf

make some backing plates or mounting rings from mdf with the 6x9 cut out
cut the 6x9 holes in the parcel shelf

mount the speakers on the underside of the shelf then cover the top of the shelf in some thin black cloth

out of sight out of mind
