Vette(s): 1975 L48 coupe. Rebuilt engine, ss brakes, new interior, side exhaust, new paint "corvette's are red, everything else is a repaint" (not mine, some guy at GM)!
I just recently put a set of 6X9's and and amp and CD changer in the rear compartment of my 75 coupe. I put a piece of 1/2" fibreboard that "floats" right under the deck lid. You can rest the front of the board on the ledge where the brackets to hold the rear window trim are. I drilled a amall hole in these to run wheet metal screws into. The back of my board rests on a lip just above the rear light. I then made some panels out of masonite to hold the 6x9's and put them at a 45-degree angle in the corners. I tried to just pressure fit the panels into the corneres, but they didn't hold so I used "L" brackets to hold them to the upper panel. I mounted the CD changer to hang down from the top of the fibreboard, and put the amp in the glove compartment next to the battery. If you'd like pics email me and I'll send you some. MY TOPS STILL FIT BACK THERE!! It sounds pretty good too. Not a lot of bass when your at 70mph, but I can still hear the system well. Sony xplod speakers (ebay $59) an old 100-watt amp I had around, and a Kenwood FM modulated CD changer. I may try to mound a 6" Bazooka tube back there too, but so far my system has only cost me about $100 (I'm cheap). I put black vinyl on the speaker panels, but the spray adhesive I used isn't holding well. I would suggest using fibreboard with these as well and the more air tight you can make them the better. Also, it helped my bass when I stuffed polyfill behind the speaker panels. Here's where I got the idea for the sound board
