Rear deck speakers

I was wondering what speakers you have on your rear decks..I had someone install some 6x9 for a while back and didnt like the way they fit. He put them up with some wood screws and they were no where near flush, basically i was loosing alot of sound to the trunk rather than in the car.
I was looking at these adapters any idea if they might work

I had Memphis 4x10's in my rear dash. Tried mounting their 6x9's in the back of my MC and had clearing issues with the tension bars. I just pulled the Mem 4x10's in favor of some 6.5's. I'm using the stock speaker locations as ports so bass from my trunk can enter the cabin.

I just exchanged the existing Infinity 6x9's that were already in the car with Pioneer Premier D902 6x9's, so i had to work with an already cut-up deck. They did a shoddy job cutting up the deck i/m/o, but i've never had to cut a deck before myself. I did have to trim a little metal to fit the Pioneers in.

The seat-back insulation is cut out for the Bazooka tubes that were in the car when my dad bought it i imagine.
Any suggestions from the experts on making my rear deck better would be appreciated.
A little project i also took on with the deck is the package tray, i thought the slits were way to small for the sound to go through, i figured most of the sound is getting soaked up into the tray. So this is what i did, hope it wasnt a waste of my time:

I have the adapters with 6x9 Infinity Reference speakers that work quite well.
Mine are backed way down to just add some backfill to the sound after reading many comments on this subject by some of the pros that frequent this site. I put more emphasis on the front half of the car as recommended and it sounds quite good for an amateur, not too expensive install. HTH
