I mounted speakers in the footwell outside bulkhead. Tons of room there. I had sealed the wheel well panels pretty thoroughly anyway, so no issues with moisture getting in. I did use some foam speaker baffles like these though. Perhaps these would be a good thing for your parcel shelf speakers as well?

Stu, could you post a picture of the front speakers of your car in situ please, so I can get an idea of where exactly they are mounted?
Thanks!

Sorry for the late reply. Finally got down to where the car is stored today.
Not a great picture, but might help to landmark where you can fit your own speakers.
It is so dark down in the tunnel I had not noticed how badly the carpet has pulled away from the speaker grilles.
One thing I did when cutting the openings is started with a much smaller hole than the speaker so I could check out the cavity depth.
My speakers are 6? x 9?, so much larger than the approx. 4? x 6? maximum that fit in the stock location.

Wow, that is a long way down. I'd be worried about damaging them with my foot.
Will have to look again. I did the vapour membrane on the driver's side door yesterday and it looked like there was plenty of space for a 6" speaker. The only problem is butchering the door cards.
