I fitted some Pioneer 6x9's in the stock shelf not long ago. Took me an hour to do with a jigsaw. I used some plastic spacers to fit the speakers in. Didnt want to cut any metal so it is still legal. I fixed the speakers to the spacers and the spacers are bolted on the shelf. And then I slip the shelf back in its place, wired the speakers up and then put the seat back. I dont get any vibrations and they sound pretty good. Sound way better than wat they did when they were in boxes in my old gemini.

nice parcel shelf marmo, only thing about craft wood is if theres the slightest bit of moisture in the corner, this could even come if its really cold outside, that part of the wood will expand, so as a safer alternative people might wanna use mdf instead, just as cheap i got an offcut the right size for 16bux, it was 9mm, i wish i got thicker now, would have cost only 20bux for 16mm

ATMO-BT1 if u need any help buddy i got alot of free time now cuz i quit my job so if u wanna come over one day ill make u a shelf no worries just bring the materials dont worry bout $$$ :P

Nothing like bumping an achient thread, is there! Cheers for the tutorial, it helped me quite a lot. Myself and a mate just pulled the stock parcel shelf out and stuck some auto carpet to it with the help of some kwik grip. Chucked the 6x9s on with spacers and it's all good. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

For no reason at all... my stock parcel shelf, carpeted, sounds great, no rattle. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

thats alrite then, hav u got a sub underneath? cos the sub is what'll get it rattling btw keep an eye on ur carpet, i used glue similar to kwik grip (diff brand, same stuf) and after a while the carpet started crumbling cos the glue came thru a lil and made the bottom of it harden, as a precaution dont eva touch the carpet!!! lol, easier that way

Bumping an old thread here, but what did you guys use underneath the parcel shelf? Would you need a few rubber strips to further deaden any vibrations?

mine was the same story as above but as i used 6x9 spacers didn't really matter actually was better then i had more room for adjustments and as for rattle i used the original carpet type material that was on the bottom of the stock parcel shelf under mine no rattle thus far i made it from just material from spotlight with thin foam pulled and stapled and mdf/chipboard spacers i made up with a jigsaw Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Heres a pik of my parcel tray.... nothin special.. up for sale if anybody is interested, i need cash lol i can include the speakers if ne1 wants em too its a direct fit with no problems and you can cover it with carpet/vinyl or get it painted cause its fibreglass if ne1 interested, gimme a pm Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

thats fargin ugly.

yes thta does seem to be ugly some of the fibreglass shelves can look quiet neat but not that 1

yea *** u 2 Ha!

yeah thats **** just like ur car
