Rear Deck Speaker Question Reply #1 – August 02, 2010, 03:22:58 PM Are you planning to cut up the rear package tray? You could do that then use MDF and copy the carpeted cover. That way to can configure the speaker locations to the way you want too. Quote Selected
Rear Deck Speaker Question Reply #2 – August 02, 2010, 05:58:13 PM that sounds like an idea... I haven't looked under the tray yet to see what is actually there... thought that someone here has already done it and had some tips.... I'm still working on gutting the interior and haven't gotten to the back seat area yet. Quote Selected

Rear Deck Speaker Question Reply #5 – August 02, 2010, 08:41:05 PM well I just got finished gutting the trunk area... after pulling out all the panels it looks brand new in there... the sound damping is stapled to the floor along with being gluded down. Thats going to be fun getting all that stuff up. I'm doing DynaMat in the entire trunk.next is pulling the back seat out so I can remove the Premium sound amp and wiring.. then the quarter interior panels and rear tray...how does the rear seat come out anyway?? that will be tomorrow's task :D Quote Selected

Rear Deck Speaker Question Reply #7 – August 02, 2010, 09:14:54 PM After you get the seat out, it is a couple push pins and the third brake lite cover and the deck pannel slides out. Then you can see what you have to work with. I have seen some gas strut conversions that can be done on the Mustang trunk lid to get rid of the twisty bars to assist on the trunk lift. I can't remember where I saw them though. That will give you no restriction on the rear deck even if you cut the whole thing out. Quote Selected

I can't remember where I saw them though. That will give you no restriction on the rear deck even if you cut the whole thing out.I tried to lift the rear seat bottom up before calling it a night. It would not come up... I didn't try to push it rearward at the same time when lifting at the front.... I worked at a Nissan dealer as a Lead Tech for 25yrs... the Nissan has little pull tabs to release the front of the seat... simply push ths seat down, pull the release and lift up and the seat will come right out.I will try again tomorrow morning....
