They will easily fit on there, but it may get tricky (I presume) if you wanna have it through the standard holes, then you have to get the little angled box things and the magnet hangs through the std. sized hole, the box bolts gets attached to the parcel shelf and the it's all nice and safe with Mr. Plod.
If you're experimenting with box angles etc, just make sure you make enough clearance for the rear screen, and you're set. There's heaps of room otherwise.

I hate having the sound coming from behind me though!

It may just be my humble ears, but i think a better sound is achieved by flush mounting the rear speakers, as opposed to angle fit.
That should open some interesting discussion.

When I bought the car the speakers(cheap ones) were in angle boxes, the speakers I have now sound much better lying flat, though we are comparing apples with oranges in terms of the speaker quality. My thoughts would be, most of the information the mid/high frequency info you need for sound location is well reflected off the rear window towards the front of the car when they are lying flat.

The other prob is even with the spacers there is a fitting problem in regards to drilling holes etc as a 90 degree drill is needed to do this,unless your rear window in out of the vehicle for some reason. ahhhhh Torana's,one hurdle after another

i just 'massaged' these holes out towards the c pillar with an angle grinder
didn't take out any of the mounting points for anything, and then just bolted the new parcel shelf in
if you have access to a plasma cutter, this would be a lot neater.
i realise i have 'affected' the structural integrity of my car, and possibly made it unroadworthy, but nothing was mentioned to me when i was last defected, or at any other time
if ever i get picked up for this, i will simply weld some supports in around the speakers
cheers

mines been cut and as usual theyve made a meal out of it
6x9 wise?
20 dollar ones i got at autobarns sale last week
now before you all go what a tight ass just rememeber that if the cars sitting out in the sun the sun will fade crack and dry up your 6x9s
the lj has what were worth 400 dollar 6x9s about 5 years ago
now there starting to go ..... and thats got a wayyyy dark tinted rear window to protect them a bit better
plus the fact that its not easy doing up 5 cars at once

im in the same boat with u pallbag.
im heading towards gettting the spacers, but not angled cos my speakers are already angled, that was the model, (kenwood 350watt 6 x 9).
previous owner hacked the shit outa the standard holes, n thus making it impossible to even put the 6" speakers into the parcel shelf. so 6" are goin in kick panels, and 6 x 9's in the back
if getting spacers, would it better to super super glue them in or drill from the boot up?

Would hate to guess at the temps reached in the assembly of a speaker in direct sunlight.......damage cone materials(dont know about kevlar) and glues. I wouldnt be sticking anything expensive in the parcel shelf without direct sun protection. A material cover over the grille wont cut it(it will still get very hot) it nor will tinted glass, direct sunlight must be shielded. Dare I say a louvre is a great thing, keeps the car cooler, adds privacy, stops icing of rear window.......Ive got em on all my ucs, they look naked without them. Dont know if you can still buy them new or not.now before you all go what a tight ass just rememeber that if the cars sitting out in the sun the sun will fade crack and dry up your 6x9s

Depending on how much time you have on your hands, would recommend buying the spacers, can buy large plastic ones for 6x9 rather than 2 sets of smaller ones. Yes they are expensive for a piece of plastic or wood cut to the right shape. In my personal UC, I firstly jigsawed spacers for 6 x 9 and 6.5 circular and with the help of a wood lathe, several coats of gloss wood stain have very smic looking spacers, and yes they are better than anything one can buy, but it would need a few hours with sandpaper and chisel to get close to the same finishif you just jigsawed them. But for the other UC's I just bought the spacers!
