i was thinking of bolting a 10mm bit of mdf or plywood to the underside of the parcel shelf, to reinforce it for some speakers.
anyone done this ? .. had any problems with the shelf breaking, or sagging ?

I used 15mm mdf (on a spare shelf I had) and used 5mm bolts with locking nuts bolted through the speakers onto the board. It does not rattle or sag and would say it gives it some more bass over just fitting speakers to a standard shelf.

i was thinking a long strip of 13cm speakers for mine. send all 4 sets of headunit wires to the back, one for each speaker.
mounted closer to the sides of the shelf, for better load bearing, and hidden away under a piece of cloth.
I used to mount the speakers under a mdf shelf like your idea and used acoustic carpet (as it lets a lot of air and sound through) over the top for the flush look. It also stopped chavs (late 90s chavs)from breaking into my car and stealing my parcel shelf
I went the whole hog and made an acoustic shelf to take the speakers. Didn't take too long and didn't cost too much in bits. Looked original and you could put stuff on the shelf as the speakers had stiff mesh on them.
good fun doing that.
Yep, its not got to be pretty as the cloth fixes that given the time taken to fit a piece of wood etx you might aswell do the job all the way
I found a guy on ebay years ago that made and sold them. I paid £55 for a full mdf shelf. It's strong as, has better mounts on it (so no snapped from the weight) and is very well made.
SAdly he left ebay.. Never saw him again either. Still the best shelf i've had/seen
