my camaro never had speakers in the sail panel......someone told me that i should put 6x9 speaker boxes in there....what are they and where do i get them?......do i really need them or can i just cut a hole in the sail panel and screw the speakers to the plastic panel?

usally you can get these things at walmart i wouldn't think it would be a good idea to put these in htere they'll rattle and bounce around plus i don't think they fit but i may be wrong

does you car have the 6x9 plates or is there a square opening in your sails

 

not too sure cuz i didnt cut it open yet.......i think there is a metal peice that has a 6x9 hole cut out in it.....and it may have screw holes in it too

 

don't cut it there's only 1 screw holding that cover on unscrew it and slide the cover up this this will expose the 6x9 location

 

but then the cover has to go back on right?.....there is not opening at all right now....its solid plastic behind the speaker cloth

 

I am quite sure most thirdgens have a 6X9 spot behind the cheapt plastic panel. Just unscrew that coat hanger and remove the plastic piece. there should be the mounting location. once you mounted the speakers, you gotta cut panel so there is somewhere for the speaker to shooot.

 

opps i thought you were talking about cutting the colth cover my bad but any way the plastic piece about how thick is that,if its 1/8 - 1/4 inch thick then it should work.Most speakers come with tempplates so you could use that or just go to the junk yard and find one (plate) that allready as the open for the 6x9 and take them

 

dang i keep forgetting crap i just rembered that you'll have to take out you interor pieces too(the right side isn't to bad but the left side is all one peice) to get to the plate screws if you do take them out it's a good time to poilsh them up

 

If you never had 6x9's in that location then where did they put speakers in your car. I have an 86 TA and I have metal mounting brackets that can be rmoved from the car to mount speakers onto. I did purchase some foam 6x9 speaker enclosures to enhance the sound. They just lay in side the mounting hole and the speakers mount right on top of it.

 

i had the bose setup.....heres a pic......those were in the rear and i had kickpanels in the front....
