If theres not any currently, you'll obviously need to modify the vehicle. Would require either cutting out a space for them, or getting some fabricated panels or pods made for your vehicle. Depends how clean you want it to look.

I wanted tweeters up front in my truck where there wasn't any. I simply cut out the proper size in the door panel and mounted my tweeters there. Permanently altered the vehicle, and may not be appealing to other people if/when I sell it, but thats the risk you take.

Or like I said, spend all the money and either get some fabricated speaker panels or something similar. Thats pretty much your only options unless you want to do the n00b thing and put some 6x9's in boxes and throw em back there on the rear dash shelf.

Up to you buddy.

Why do you think you need 6x9s?

It's a 2007 ford fusion and the audio quality is less than par

Adding 6x9 won't help that bud.

Why do you say that? I plan on replacing all the 5x8 speakers and then add two rear 6x9's. You don't think adding the 6x9's will help make it louder?

It will make it louder behind you. You want it louder in front of you. Start with replacing the front doors with 6.5 components and a amp. Treat the doors with sound deadener to seal all the holes. That will turn out much better

Thanks for the advice, how would you recommend I run the wire for the rear deck speakers?

No. You will not need or want rear deck speakers. If you put a sub in the truck you will distort rear deck speakers. Rear deck speakers are a huge waste of money. Rear deck speakers will destroy any hope of getting good sound quality.

Alright good to know, thank you very much sir. Also, I want to keep the factory head unit from my car and put subs in. I have the subs, amp, and wiring so now all I need is to put a LOC to i can connect the RCA plugs for the amp. Any recommended place that I should put the LOC?

Depends. Do you want it to just work or do you want it to sound great?

Work-Audiocontrol LC2. It will correct the factory bass cutoff. You want that $75 Amazon

Great- a processor. You will want it for when you amp the rest of the car. $500 or so

Alright great, as far as actually putting the LOC in though would you recommend I put it directly behind the stereo itself of run it of off one of the door speakers?

You just need better speakers up front along with an amp for the speakers.
