I did this on my '90. I tried zip-tieing in some 6x9s first, just to see if I liked the sound. I didn't, but I like my music fairly bright. The 6x9s just made everything way too muddy for me. It might sound better with hi-end 6x9s, but then you're still stuffing them into those adapters, & there's not much open sheet metal for the sound to escape from anyway. Even the 4x10 areas in my '90 are about 1/2 covered with sheet metal!
I decided to make my own very simple mounting adapters (out of plywood) for a pair of 5.25" rounds & got exactly the results I was hoping for: cleaner sound with crisper highs & richer lows, & no intrusion into the rear area at all. I can direct you over to the write-up & pictures, since a direct link isn't allowed on *this* Saab site.
