Getting 6x9s into a '94 Dodge Spirit

[Xuir]

Hi all,

My first post here...

So I'm going to be driving a 94 Spirit for a winter beater, and I'm trying to put my old Sony Xplode stereo system into the car. The system is really simple, it doesn't even have subs or an amp. It's just the Sony deck, two 3.5 speakers and two 6x9 speakers. I had it in two other cars so far, but each of them had a 'stock' place to put the 6x9s. The Dodge Spirit has four 3.5s, 1 in each door. Unfortunately there are no speakers above the rear seats where 6x9s would normally be. I was thinking of mounting them in the door by measuring and then cutting the plastic under the door panel, but it looks like the speakers are bolted into a metal frame (which means no cutting for me). I was thinking of running wiring to the back above the rear seats, and cutting the fiberglass looking stuff for the 6x9s... Any thoughts?

Well, just an update if anyone came here looking for an answer- I bought a pair of 6x9 stereo boxes from a local shop for about $40 cdn, he said normally they are for Jeep trucks. I mounted them above the back seats (it looks pretty good), but makes a bit of a blind spot in your rear view mirror. I got some speaker wire for free from the shop, and ran the stock wiring from the rear doors under the interior trim to above the back seats. Now it looks and sounds great!

i actually have a 94 dodge spirit and i have actually tried fittin 6x9's into the door. unless you do some cuttin into the metal part of the door frame, their not fitting in there. the stock speakers are actually attacked to that black plastic peice around the speaker. if you want larger speakers you can rip the black stuff ou. i manged to fit some 6.5" infinity refs in there and they sound great. hope this helps
