[QUOTE="keep_hope_alive, post: 8861931, member: 576029"] For most of the past year, my expectation is that I was going to install the Hertz HCX690 coaxial speakers in the rear deck of the Camaro. I’ve been excited about these, as they are the best sounding coaxial speakers I’ve heard. However, this car does not lend itself to a rear speaker installation given the very short distance between glass and deck. With the rear glass removed, it’s possible to do an awesome install. Installation from below is complicated by a lack of access to one screw hole and a lip that prevents proper mating to the mounting adapter.
