Should'nt do if you place them near to the edges of the shelf.
If you place them too near the middle the shelf may sag

There is a metal bar that runs through the Parcel shelf on the mk2, my mate had to raise his a little so they sit right by using MDF spacer rings, failing that if you want different mount them on either side of the car where the rear seats are the side panels there.

metal? poo. wondered about having them on the boot floor, but then they'd be muffled?

Yeah they would be as they need to move air to sound good i.e. Parcel shelf

Yeah but just build some MDF spacers, out of 12mm MDF and cover them in carpet cut holes in parcel shelf, and screw spacers in place, then the 6x9's will clear the bar and you will be a happy bunny, check your speaker size if your 6x9's dont have chunky magnets then they might clear the bar anyway, but when you go to your boot next, have alook under the parcel shelf there is a bar covered in the same carpet as the rear shelf, if you want to go mad, take the shelf out, cut away the metal bar, get some sturdy mdf make a panel up for mounting underneath the shelf, cut your 6x9 holes, put a flat peice of mesh over the top cover the shelf in acoustic carpet and mount the 6x9's under the shelf, then you have a stelth shelf without the expense.
