man.

just get pliers and bend the metal, don't be a girl it'll be fine.

I have 6.5" in the back of my trx but i needed spacers as they sit down to far. My old speakers fitted fine without spacers tho. 6x9's will fit with "modifacations" such as chris said, but i would by some nice spacers or make a box/encloser for them. Overall i would recommend 6.5"s.

your back speakers are 6" stock me thinks. You should be able to nicely sit new 6's ontop of the factory cardboard shelf from memory. Just follow the diy on making a new parcel shelf, its not hard, and means you can fit any speaker.

here is the link

Yeha i bent metal in my Pintata T, put in some BOSS Audio cheap assed plastic spacers and i have approximately 2mm hahaha very very very little space between them and the window, so my plan of attack is to jam something soft between the window and the speaker ;) I know it works, but i used a pad of paper, which isnt the ideal look hehe, so im thinkin a blanket or something of the like material.

you can get stuff that is like double sided tape but only sticky on one side. I used it on my brake light because the rattling was giving me the shits.

Hence meaning single sided tape? :P

i guess. but single sided tape isn't thick and foamy very often.
