I have got my 6x9's ect

I am going to cut into my parcel shelf and fit them in. Any tips?

Whats the best way to make sure they stey in place and dont wobble around ect or best way of securing them down?

Thanks!
 
I've used both a bread knife and a jigsaw in the past, depending on what material the shelf is made from.

To stop them wobbling, you need some 'U clips', like these:

what car is it going in? i put some 6" round speakers in my old mk2 puntos parcel shelf. they where held in quite strong as the parcel shelf in a mk2 punto has a mettle bar inside it. if your is the same just make sure when you cut threw the bars leave a couple of mm gap between the bar and speaker as you dont want it vibrating. going to put them in my new punto when i get tints on.
 
Yes, you use the self tappers in conjunction with the clips I posted up there.

You slide them over the 'lip' then screw the self-tappers into them for a secure and tight fit.

You can buy the clips in a small pack at Halfords.
 
this thread made me want to do mine again.... so i did lol. just took off old shelf and put on my new 1. (5door to a 3door) so had to cut holes again etc. but i never used them clips ither time and there still nice n tight :D
 
Dont cut the shelf. The MK2 shelf is easy to fabricate out of MDF. I pulled off all of the lugs and bars and attachments off of a standard shelf so it clipped in properly, had extra support and still went up and down with the boot.
You will notice a vast improvement in sound quality and bass response. Also then you can use threaded inserts under neath to screw the speakers down solid :slayer:
