Will 6.5in speakers fit in the rear deck of an 87 E-30?

I don't mind cutting to fit, this is just a daily driver and I'm not going for the factory look or anything.

i used spacers to fit mine in, no need to cut the tray.

Where did you find the spacers at? Model specific?

I'd just dremel it out if they dont fit.

[Van Westervelt]

Yes and no. It all depends on the speaker. I had a set of infinitys that fit depthwise so I just cut a larger hole in the tray. However my Polk momos wouldnt fit so I made a ring out of MDF and then cut the outside edge at 45 degrees sloping from the tray to the speaker. Then laid black carpet over the whole thing.

6-1/2" pvc drain pipe. Cut a slice less than 1" thick off, paint it black and just sit the speaker on top of that. proper r3v job.
