i wondered if anyone could verify if 6x9 speakers fit straight in a 00 uk classic rear parcel shelf area without modding please??
thanks in advance

 

What did the search tell you when you did it?

What? You didn't do one?????????

Nope, not a direct fit. They WILL go on from underneath, but the rear shelf has to be drilled. It CAN be done without taking out the shelf, or the rear seat, I know, I did it, but if doing it again, I'd remove both.

BTW: mine are on 18mm mdf spacers, fitted from above, the spacers covered with proper cloth that matches the rear shelf. The whole lot is fastened down using M5 x40mm stainless caphead bolts, the nuts and penny washers being underneath, so that only the stainless capheads show.

I made the spacers myself using the template that came with the speakers to help me.

 

yes i did search yesterday as i have been on the forum for a little while albeit not quite as long as you :-D lol
I found your post saying that you could fit speakers without taking the seats OR parcel shelf out !
its a shame it doesnt show my search history so you would have known i did look as so many people cant be assed to look first.
i couldnt find a exact yes or no on 6x9s,thanks for your comprehensive reply as youre the only one who has.???
appreciate it

 

Took me an afternoon to do including making and covering the spacers, it would be less with the shelf and seats out, and both can be removed in under ten minutes.

 

my wife has bought me a new alpine headunit with ipod control for xmas and i want do some upgrading ,thanks again
