Just buy or make some spacers for your tailgate,

If the cover is the same flimsy particle board $hit as I have in my pano then you might want to make a new one thats a bit more solid... (Especially to hold 6x9's in place when the boot slams down, else you'll find em sitting on the front dash board

 

As for the door trims I just cut the pockets off my last one.. :cool:

I've just done this in my wagon over the week end (well finished it).

 

Fronts - a set of 5 1/4 splits mounted in a pod on the door (no cut out in to the door cavity). What I found was this set up give a significantly better sound than if I vented the speakers in to the door space and I think this is due to the smaller air volume in the door pod (the 5 1/4 woofer can't handle a larger volume of air).

Rears - 1 pair of 6 1/2 3 way Kenwood's mounted in the rear side panels, basicly I've made a new set of side panels from 3mm ply wood and fibreglass with a 12mm MDF mounting ring built in to hold the speaker and add support to the mounting face.

 

I've used good thick speaker cable all the way round (from Jaycar for a few $$ a metre). So far it sounds great, the next step is to add a subby and a dedicated amp.

 

If I were you I'd mount your 6x9's in the side panels as this much weight on the tail gate would stuff up your tail gate gas struts and also the weight alone of the 6x9's in the tailgate would be enough to tear them selfs loose when you slammed the tail gate closed.

 

You're best bet is to pull the side panels off and have a good look at the room available in this area, the drivers side should be OK, the pasenger side will be more difficult due to the jack and tools etc stored in there.

 

Good Luck and just get in there and have a go, I'll post a few pic's of my set up in a few days.

You can replace the factory 4'' speakers in the footwells, its a bit of stuffing around but i actually managed to get some sony 6'' in there. For the boot Strathfield have 6x9 speaker boxes at the moment for $25 which is about half price and will save you a lot of trouble.

I built my own 6x9 speaker boxes, there big and ugly but it's whats inside that counts :no:

considering I don't actually have any 6x9 speakers

 

 

 

 

Those prefab boxes from strathfield would probably be the easiest option, cause there's stuff all room inside the inner guards. Passenger side has a wheel removing things and drivers side has all that shit in the above pic.
