Instead of removing the parcel shelf carpet and dropping them through the hole just screw them up underneath the parcel shelf with an MDF spacer if needed. That way you get to retain the factory look too.

Any reason you aren't going for either a 6.5" or a 5x7?

Agreed, actually any all in one multi speaker speaker is plain rubbish. Get a set of splits front and rear.

Sorry couldn't get a pick, but they are the 10mm thick MDF spacers,

they sit between the metal parcel shelf and the underside of the speakers, speakers are then bolted / screwed down as normal.
