probably wouldn't be too easy. i'm not sure how much room is in there, but it would be hard going from a 4x6's magnet to a 6x9's magnet. my guess is there probably won't be enough room for the magnet, but it is just a guess..........

Not that I know much, but when I went to purchase new speakers for my GTA I pulled 6x9's from the sails. And most places tell you that 6x9's will fit in the rear. At least, thats what the computers all have listed as a speaker fitting.

Plenty of other people have 6x9's in the sail panels too.

You need to get the 6x9 plates from a car that came with 6x9's. Or just fab up your own.


It wont be hard, as long as you get the plates...
