well the new ones do have a spacer, like most new speakers id assume. and the old ones did not. but the ovals in the decklid are 4 1/2 by 7 1/2 which would imply 5 x 8 speakers. yet i got 6x9's for christmas, it looks like if i cut the hole bigger for 6x9's to fit, the way the lid is made it has the skinny lip around the top which makes it level. then the belt bends down and back up as a structure thing, to make it stronger like the floors. so in a way there would be alot of modifying to do. how else do you people get 6x9's to fit? id like to find some pictures of the process of making the ovals bigger or at least a description from someone.
