i put 6*9's in my rear because i didnt have the cash at the time to buy different speakers. However I am very impressed/satisfied with the sound they produce.

"cutting the parcel shelf is illegal dont do it",....hahahah so are most of the performance mods.hahahahaha

if your are going to cut your shelf, be warned its a bit of a job have plenty of band aids on hand ready.

6x9's fit quite well in the rear if u put em at the angle like elbee said, the rear parcel shelf is easy to get out, the lack of space in the back seat however gets annoying, make sure u have like a fan cos it gets HOT and sweaty. zRemove the back seat (easy to do) the just unclip the rear shelf. too easy

If you space them, or make a new shelf, angle them at 45 degrees, you will have know problem. Or if you are like me and are too lazy get someone to do it for you.

Here is mine. I am happy with the result. Pics can be found here.

It was a tad expensive, cost me $250, but considering it took the pros 6hrs to make with all the right tools/materials at their finger tips, I think it was worth it. I could never have made something that nice anyway, no matter how much time I spent on it. And the best thing is it looks so neat and factory like that know one would suspect what in their.

The only draw back was the strong resin smell I had to endure for a week, just had to leave the windows down in the garage to let it air out.

That price was bargained too btw as I am a repeat customer!

jimbo2000 don't listen to them dude 6x9's do fit in the back all you have to do is make a new parcel shelf with 14mm spacers on a6-8mm shelf and positon your holes over the existing ones which originally fit a slightly smaller speaker did them in a mates 33 no sweat . just make the shelf itself out of 6mm and then the risers out of 12-18mm mdf whatevers thickness gives you clearance over the battery and then smooth out the spacer edges with bog cover in grey carpet easy

    • This looks great! Awesome to have the 5 speed with an LSD in this. The Recaro's look like SR2's or SR3's. It's a shame they've been retrimmed as they would have looked sweet in their original colours. I think I'd want my agent to be a little more up front and informative too. I've never imported but I reckon it would make me a little nervous, so the more info the better.
    • Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.
    • My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though. 
    • Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno
    • Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
