Back shelf 6x9? What to do?

[RFish]

What has everyone done with there back shelf.
Have you guys just screwed the 6x9's to the mental that is already there or have you put a peice of wood there so it sounds better?
My mate who is doing my sound system said that it would be better to getting wood and cutting out a slot for the 6x9.
Just wants everyones thoughts and what they have done,
Thanks!

If the holes are just 6" why not just use 6" speakers?

There not get 6" they were ment for 6x9 and 6x9 can produce more power

Well i didnt do mine but the guy before me made his own pastor shelf and cut into the metal to make them fit. (Dont do that for god sake)

Think i might just seperate it with wood or cardboard or something so it doesnt have a 'tinny' sound

Just another kid with no idea.

There 6x9 as clarified by hax.

Just another kid with no idea. Don't cut metal. I think you will find they are 6.5"

BZZZT!!!! wrong. vt-z have prepped punch outs in the parcel shelf for 6x9s. drop speakers in, run wires, cut top shelf and install grilles. job done. no modifying of steel shelf beyond factory specs.

once the speaker is screwed into the shelf, its reasonably solid. if you want to do it right, buy some sound deadening sheet and deaden the panels that vibrate.

Yeah I have done VT's before but didn't know about the newer models thus why I said I think. Thanks for clarifying hax.

Just another idiot who thinks they know it all. As the comment above says vz shelf are pre designed to fit 6x9 NOT 6.5".

If you read it I apologised and admitted my mistake. The reason I said just another kid with no idea is because of his statement that 6x9's produce more power

i dont run any speakers in the rear parcel shelf just have the holes punched out and the grills installed so the sub can port through, with a good set of front splits and the right tune you dont need them...
