Sorry if I'm a bit late with this, but with the the digest delay, work,
midnight feedings and diaper changes...
Anyway, a PO of my B also cut up the rear bulkhead to fit a pair of 6x9s. I
added a CD player and fit some speakers to fill the void. Being the
anal-retentive-type, I carpeted the boot. But the hacked-up look of that
panel always bugged me. What to do...
For about $5 and an hour of labor, I made a false back out of 3/4in
particleboard and fit it parallel to the bulkhead. I relocated the boot
lamp to the false back. Velcro strips on the speaker magnets hold it snug.

WARNING: I used one of those cheap snap-the-blade-off-utility-knives to make
a template out of cardboard. Being the anal-retentive-type, I had the blade
extended to get a *really* close fit around the boot hinge when the blade
snapped. This stunt cost me a midnight trip to the emergency room for a
tetnous shot and 11 stitches to sew the tip of my finger back on. A year
later and I am just now regaining feeling. Be careful out there :-)
