Default Wheel well clunk

I recently had the Bose speakers removed and 6X9s installed in the rear of my 85 (along with a Kenwood head and 4" speakers in the doors). Now I notice a clunk apparently coming from the right rear well cavity. Have had the car on the lift and all components are tight. Whats the chance the sterio tech left something loose in the cavity?

Is the amp seperate from the speaker. In other words would the amp have been left in and loose?
