Has anyone just raised the whole area of the rear a few inches? Just take the carpet out of the back and use it for a template. That would give you room for everything, Even some rear speakers. I wouldnt let the room go to waste, Put some lids in and some pockets. Weight would be a concern.

I am still looking for people.

And yes I know some people have, although my favorite thing is using the two flat surfaces behind the seats and mold in a speaker enclosure for 6.5's. I am currently working on a set for one of my customers.

How much time would you need? I'm about 5 hours away. I could make the trip once or twice.

Do you have any pics of the 6.5's like this in the Z? Thanks.

The problem I see with raising the floor is that the molded plastics go over the floor and you can't really raise them. To do this you would have to create a trunk that went around the plastic at the upper level or at the very least you would have to shave down all the foam that sits under the plastics but then I'd imagine your spare tire would no longer be flush with the trunk floor. I'm sure it is doable but it isn't as easy as it sounds.
