    Hiya,
    I have an 89 LX 5.0 and I want to replace the speakers in the rear. I have polk 6x8's in there now, and I dont think they have enough bass, so I want to put polk 6x9's in. I heard somewheres that they would fit with some modifications, but I dont know what I would have to do to make them fit. I know the car came with factory 6x8's.

    Anybody ever do this in their mustang before? Thanks..

    :nice: just get the template that comes with the 6x9's you are going to use and drill the holes use sheet metal screws an washernuts if you have to they usually come with the speaker as well!

    good luck

    Is it a coupe or a hatch? I put 6x9's in my coupe with no modification. I'm not sure about the hatches though.

    mine is a hatch. The 6x8s i have on there now fit perfectly onto the speaker cover. If the 6x9s have the same speaker hole placement as the 6x8s, it should fit no problemo.
