6x9" speaker spacer help

[lmurko]

hi guys, my first time posting / using a forum so please be patient with me, ive just gotten myself a vs as a first car, it runs beaut, but the audio is not quite up to scratch, i want to put 6x9s on my parcel shelf, but i need to add a spacer as its cut out for 6.5s. i was thinking something like this: although super cheap want 50 something dollars for them, i like the angle on them though. so i would like to make something like them, perferably out of mdf as i can get it free. any ideas you have to help me out would be greatly appreciated. thanks

If you have access to plenty of MDF then remake your entire parcel shelf. This way you have automatic speaker spacers and the speakers are just screwed directly to the shelf.

Why 6x9s? As said if your handy with MDF make your own. Good learning experience.

If you wish to just copy the premade angled spaces then you just jigsaw a few matching rings out of 18mm and glue them together, then (belt) sand an angle onto it.

I'd recommend making a replacement MDF parcel shelf too though.

If you build a new shelf... You can angle it anyway you like.
