the box wont fit on the rear shelf plus it blocks my view....and they dont fit origonal holes....so does that mean i cant use them?

you can modify the original holes

yea, just get a jigsaw and cut open the hole..or you can return them and get the correct size for the opening

Your openings are likely for 5x7's or some other goofy size. Either cut bigger holes as suggested or drill new mounting holes for your 6x9's with the tweet/mid centered in the factory opening. Sound deaden the metal and mount 'em. As long as your mid and tweet have a clear path you won't lose much (if any) sound from the woofer unless the factory opening is dinky (like 4" or smaller). If the opening is too big then make a baffle (adapter) from MDF.
