cheers mate

how do u take out the back seat btw?

[Yo-Yo]

the parcel shelf is part of the body, I assume you mean taking off the cover with the speaker grills

to get at the cover and remove it you need to take out the back seat

first start with the bottom of the seat you have to remove the two bolts that are on the outside, it can get tricky after that as there are metal brackets that clip in on the inside of the seat, you kind of have to push the bottom seat while also pulling up, when you get it loose you will see what I mean.

the back of the seats have another two bolts that will be exposed when you get the bottom off, once the bolts are off then a case of pulling the back up and out

then unbolt the child restraints and the cover will slide out

nah i didnt mean the hole covers i ment the hole parcel shelf so that i could put in some 6x9s and some moulds

but thanks for the help on removing the seats mate looks like im gonna have to do it with the parcel shelf still in there

thanks for your help mate

no dramas,

hmm I'm interested to see how you go with 6x9's, I installed fusion splits in my old gtt but they were the same size as the factory units and from memory if you want to fit 6x9s you might have to widen the holes in the parcel shelf with a dremel and make custom brackets or drill holes, the factory units use a plastic bracket that screw to the shelf hopefully if you remove those the hole left behind will be big enough

when you get around to it you will see how the parcel shelf is part of the bodywork, I'm sure someone has done this before, just maybe need to search on the forum for examples

good luck though

Just wondering guys what size are the factory speakers? 6" or 6.5" im guessing.

[dozey05]

i think all speakers u buy are 6.5s arnt they coz i know that slpits are im not to sure

but u could always buy some spacers or moulds

[JI34GT]

Factory speakers are 6.5 at the rear.

I've done 6x9's with spacers, can be done with some work, sounds awesome tho.

[Robs0re_34]

Just finished this task wih cadence 6x9's a little bit of cutting, but worth it sounds awesome.

Its just a great feeling when free hand markings work!!

[Carbon 34]

cutting a rear deck for 6x9 is a defectable offense in SA, which would require lots of work to fix back to stock

plus 6x9 speakers dont sound as good as 6.5 inch in a decent brand anyway so why bother cutting the deck up?

my 2c

As above, get some decent 6.5 splits in the back, they sounds wicked awesome. 6 x 9's are so 90's

[dozey05]

yea but if u go out and buy some speaker moulds u should need to cut nuffin because there would already be holes from the original speakers

i think the moulds look so much better than just the speakers sittin in the shelf anyways but thats my opinion

[dozey05]

i take back all my statements lol

i went out and got some good 6''s lol

how exactly u take out the child restraints?

[jase-r34]

Just unbolt em.

[dozey05]

Just unbolt em.

yea its all good now
