back in the day when I still used 6x9's there were plastic brackets you needed to use which would convert the 4x10 opening into a 6x9 opening. I think I still may have a pair in the bottom drawer of my toolbox at home.

they look just like these

If you want to mount 4 x 6x9's the easiest way ( from past experience ) would be to remove the seatback and parcel shelf material and work it from both inside the car and thru the trunk to cut away the metal for the 2nd set of speakers then use the brackets above for the 2 outside speakers and I think there is just enough room to mount the other 2 in the middle without the brackets. I cut my knuckles many times and the tension bar for the trunklid always gets in the way !

Even easier was just purchasing good quality 4x10's that fit and a sub in the trunk for some added kick.

If this is something along the lines of what you are looking for, swing thru his site and have a lil look. He does alot of other custom work as well. These are just a few pieces I have ordered from him...

Does that replace the old rear deck panel all together? and what needs to be done to install it?... I might do something like that for my Cutlass.... kind of cool

That was a custom order for me. I wanted more sub to make it into the cabin, and asked for holes and 4" holes on each end to be cut. He makes em plain with 6x9 cutouts. The board is mdf and is very strong. the old board isnt used when running the new setup. It will require that the seat be moved forward an inch or so. Mine isnt installed yet but you can hit the link and there are plenty of pics there....

I did that too, for the same reason. I have no speakers in my rear deck so I left the 4x10 speaker holes in there and had it wrapped in a thin black cloth. Looks stock almost and you can't see the holes. By the way I have MBQuartz 6.5" components installed in the rear quarter windows, just don't have an pictures yet, but it looks really good.

Here's my rear speakers in the quarter window areas. I have no speakers in the rear deck. Just covered it with black cloth over the 4x10 speaker holes, which were left in there to allow bass into the cabin once my subwoofers are installed in the trunk.

i dont have pix of my install cuz i'm in Afghanistan right now, but i took some 2" particle board, the same kind they make speaker boxes from, and cut it to fit in the rear deck. i used a jigsaw to cut the molds for 4 ea 6X9's and wired them into my deck/amp.



Im in the same boat i have 4 6x9 installed also but im in Afghanistan so sorry ill get my wife to email me some and ill try to repost them

i satarted out with the same plan in mind to use 4 6x9s accross the back deck. then i saw the amount of cutting needed (or should i say fab work 8) ) and decided just to use the 4x10 to 6x9 brackets. it was like $20. I'm not to thrilled but is works...
