This is how I spent my last couple days. I removed the crummy fibreboard rear hatch cover and traced it onto a piece of plywood which I then cut out on a bandsaw. I had aftermarket 4" speakers in the stock location that blew up, so I ran wire from the stock location and hid it all in the pillars in the back, across the roof under the headliner, and ran the speaker wires through the hatch through the grommet for all the 3rd brakelight wiring. After that was complete, I measured up and traced out the outline that I would have to cut for the speakers. I had to make some plywood spacers due to lack of depth in the hatch, and also had to remove some metal from the hatch to allow enough clearance for the speakers. Since this was just a quick project, more in a form follows function way of thinking, the mounting system is not the best or the prettiest, and the speakers are kinda crooked, but it works, and it sounds phenominal when paired with the 6.5" MTX coaxials I have in the front doors. Taking my time, I probably would have carpeted the plywood panel and made some better spacers, but maybe another time. Next step is to install the 12" sub/box/capacitor I have from my old car....
Sorry about the lack of pictures, I didnt take any while I was working, but these should give you an idea...
