R33 Parcel Shelf

[abu]

Well I am now upto the parcel shelf part of my install and I've got a few idea's floating around but just wanted to see what everyone else has done, what works and what doesn't

Since gay compliance people put a massive hole in my standard speaker grille that is now out of the option, would have been nice and easy to tuck a 6.5" speaker under there, would have looked neat and standard as well

I've had the idea to recut a parcel shelf out of some thicker wood, MDF, something around 18mm would be ideal I would say, cut the holes for the speakers and recarpet it with the same colour carpet as the standard shelf. Mount the speakers straight onto the shelf it self and use the speaker grilles provided to make it look neat

Would this work?

Only issue I can think of is the mounting of the parcel shelf, no idea how that would work as the standard one is held in by clips..

Feel free to post any other ideas or pictures of installs you may have

Car is an R33 GTR and speakers are FOCAL 6.5" 165AI

Thanks

haha I will get some tomorrow man

I made 19mm spacers out of MDF and they screw into the same as the factory plastic speaker pods did, cut the parcel shelf out so the speakers poke through a little as they are lager than facotry and will be using the standard speaker covers

Look stock, 6.5" speakers clear the factory shelf.. nice!

I also made front door pods and mounted 6.5" FOCAL speakers with custom mount tweets, also looks nice. I will get some pictures of that as well

Did you cut into the parcel shelf at all?

I got a massive defect from the previous owner cutting space in my parcel shelf to fit 6x9's.

Had to get it fixed and then an Engineer Cert, cost me a pretty penny considering I have 2 holes there now since i haven't replaced the speakers.

Hope you don't have to go through this.
