options are to either fit some under the rear shelf or to take out the current cloth covered cardboard shelf and get a custom made one to cover your new speakers.

Wrong section me thinks... but I fitted 6X9's under my parcel shelf... I made a mdf spacer about 1/2 inch thick... screwed that to the metal with self tappers... then screwed the speakers to the spacers..
Sounds good...

Mine had holes in the metal to accommodate speakers just covered with the cloth, fitted some Kenwood speakers

Mind you it was a Type R so might be different with 4 door cars

There IS a third option: Make MDF spacers to go ON TOP of the shelf, and cover the spacer with carpet-type cloth for sub boxes etc, bought from an ICE dealer.

It's what I did when I put 6x9's in my classic.
