don't laugh my rear shelf had been butchered well not butchered but cut by my cousin to sit 6 inch speakers in it, i was thinking about going 6x9 but would either just box em and bolt em on or get extenders and hope they sit out of the current holes. The current holes are cut neatly but it is actually illegal to cut it but it was done before it became illegal i think. I have 6inch three ways in the front doors and the standard speakers in the front and two holes in the rear where my cousin had his speeakers all the wiring is still there though.

It's illegal to cut without an engineers approval simply because it could be perceived as a "structural" part of the car.
If you happen to cut anything more than the sheet metal then yes you have cut a structural part of the car.

my cousin had 6inchs on the rear parcel shelf that seems to be the limite for width, a 6x9 may fit but it would involve cutting a lot of metal unless like my idea you could use an extender to lift the speaker and have it sit in the 6inch hole. Only problem may be clearance with the window.
I was gonna put some speakers in the back but looking at the window they would be very vulnerable to leaves in a smash and grab situation and since the car is parked at a station i thought no.
