Default 6x9 rear deck installation

Mark wrote:
I'm installing Infinity 3 way 6x9 speakers in the rear deck of an old
Chevy Corsica ('91). I find out that nothing is lining up, mounting
holes must be drilled in the metal deck, the speaker holes in the deck
are too small, the hardware provided is totally baffling and the
instructions are laughable. It appears the speakers must be mounted
from underneath (in the trunk), the grill on the top, and the deck
sandwiched in between. Has anyone tried to do similar? Any help
would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Mark

I had a few fun and games installing the infinitys' in a parcel shelf
(fibre board with a metal support bar down the middle, which also acts
as the pivot for the shelf) I ended up drilling out the rivets holding
the metal support then jigsawing out the holes for the speakers.

If I remember right, you have to pop the grilles out of the plastic
surrounds, then drop the speaker into the surrounds, drop them into the
holes then screw them in.

I then cut the metal support into 3 sections so the shelf would still
mount correctly and riveted it back on. It wasn't strong enough however,
so I then reinforced the shelf with a couple of lengths of ply I had
lying about. Looks tidy from above, not so nice from below

HTH.
