6x9's I have a 1998 TransAm WS-6. I am looking to replace all of my speakers. I work for Circuit City and purchased some speakers directly from eclipse, although I musta been drunk or something because instead of purchasing the 6 1/2's I got 6x9's. How difficult is it to modify my car to fit these speakers and where should i stick em? Thanks
Id think the only place they could possibly fit is teh rear hatch area, I just installed some 4x6s in there and they fit, I think a 5x7 will fit but 6x9 is probably pushing it. You're def gonna need to cut the plastic trim and fab up your own mounts.
Maybe some 6x9 boxes...although tahts kidna ghetto for a ws-6

Yep, that would definitely look ghetto and would sound like *** since there is nothing but empty space in the rear hatch area and nothing to give that little bit of mid bass to it. It looks like there would be some 6x9's sitting behind the grilles of the rear hatch but they are small 4x6's. You'd have to cut around the plastic and probably make some kind of fiberglass back housing for the 6x9's to actually sound nice. Too much work. Just take them back and get the correct size speakers.

to be honest, it is easy as shiiiit.. i put 6x9's in the back of my 96 Z, i just gotta 99 ss, and i am gonna put them in there too.. just get a sawzall and it should be easy.. just gotta kinda eye it and cut.. took me no more than 5 minutes per side, and i got the speakers to fit flush.. it was a thousand times easier than i thought it would be. it sounds amazing.. words cant describe.. they are the infinity reference series btw... here are the pics..

don't abuse your car like that...just get the right size...i personally think it looks like **** if you cut up your car just for some speakers that may or may not fit right after you are done cutting...you know what to do...

i didnt have a problem, and it was well worth it. 6 1/2's dont sound half as good as 6x9's. if you take off the whole plastic cover around the speakers, it looks like the speakers came in the car. it doesnt look bad. anyway, it has the speaker cover that goes over it, so no one would see it.
