the 7kv.2's need a mounting depth of 3.5". both types are infinite baffle capable ie, dont have to be boxed, so i was thinking of fitting these to the parcel shelf.

what would be the best way? cut holes in parcel shelf, place mounts, stretch t-shirt material and fibreglass then fill cavity between fibreglass and original shelf with expanding foam and recarpet?

I think you can fit some 5x7 in the existing holes in the rear parcel shelf don't know if that would give you the type of bass you want. Obviously not as good as a sub but maybe an alternative to the 6x9's you mentioned.
