Okay, had a search around on the forums and I can't find anything about replacing the rear speakers. Well I am not really replacing anything, as I didn't get rear speakers when I bought the car. I have a set of 6" speakers laying around my room and I would like to install them. Put them into the spot where the speakers would go and found that the screw holes do not line up. Could someone tell me what is the go with that and how I should go about installing the speakers?
Thanks!

I think that the original speakers were not 6". Could be the reason why the holes don't match up. Can't you just drill a few new holes?

Kim,

I replaced my rears with 6"; 6 1/4" speakers with out a drama. I used the original factory mounts (such as Peter said) and they fitted in with a drama.

Cars with the factory sub have 4.5" speakers
Cars with no sub have 6" rear speakers.
All are mounted on a plastic mounting frame. The two size frames are different.

Is the cut out on the shelf the same? Are the frames available?

I made some 16mm MDF mounts for 6.5" co-axials... Wasn't too hard at all and the mounting depth was fine.

Got some photos if you want somewhere to start from...

Photos would be nice Quintin, otherwise might try a wrecker or something to fine oem mounts. Because I just have a hole in my rear parcel shelf
