How do you get 6x9's in a rear shelf?

[Borderbmw]

Hello all, how the hell do you got 6x9's in the rear shelf with the torsion bars in the way? ........or do you have to use rings etc that stand a foot high?

[dazleeds]

hi Border hows it going mate?

2 options ive used before are the spacers but like you say these raise up the speakers the second is to cut out the shelf where the original speakers go with a grinder does take a while if you want it neat but does sound good when done did my last 320i and sounded well bassey as speakers bolted direct to the metal of shelf also with some carefull measuring you dnt have to mess with the boot lift rods etc good luck mate Daz leeds

I think spacers are the best way if you were to fit 6x9's.

Alot of people including myself think that 6x9's are pretty useless now, if you want good sound spend decent money on front components.

Buy good-ish rear 13cm speakers and then a sub if you want more bass.

Here's a pic of my spacers,





There just 2x18mm MDF spacers glued together and pianted black.

[dazleeds]
