[QUOTE="smurph98gt, post: 1212842, member: 562255"] My brother has a notchback mustang, so his rear speakers are mounted in the rear deck. The factory speakers back there are 5x7. Many people make 6x9s work, but there is some modification involved. With that in mind, we went shopping for some speakers. We found a great deal on a set of 6x9 speakers that sounded the best to my brother and were in his price range. The problem is, the cones on this particular speaker stick out quite a bit from the top edge of the speaker. We're trying to mount these without having to cut his deck to pieces. The only feasable way I can see mounting these, I've illustrated below.
