picked myself up some pioneer 6x9`s today and a pair of plastic spacers to go over my existing 6" holes... installed them in the rolla, but the parcel tray is old, crapty and most likely rotten...so as a result all the sound is rebounding off the metal beneath the parcel shelf and i now have no midbass

so i had an idea... what if i were to line the spacer, the parcel shelf under the spacer and the 6" hole with sound deadening? would it fix my problem? or just make my problem more obvious?

Make a new parcel tray out of MDF and carpet.

Also i think you might have the speakers wired out of phase if there is no midbass.

And why would you need spacers if you have a perfectly good shelf you can modify to fit the speakers in there.

i was just aftera quick fix i spose...how do i wire them in phase?

swap + & - around on one.

Try swapping the polarity around,
IE: +/- to -/+
and just try it see if it's better.

you will know straight away if you had them wrong polarity (out of phase)

Mate, no point in going for a quick fix when making a new parcel shelf is so easy.

Buy sheet of mdf.
Trace outline of old parcel tray onto sheet of mdf.
Cut sheet of mdf around line you just drew.

Hey presto!! New unrotten parcel tray!!


Dont do it ghetto style, do it right, do it once.
And yeah, sounds like they are out of phase. Pick one speaker and swap the wire going to the negative terminal to the positive terminal, and the wire going to the positive terminal to the negative terminal.
See if that helps.
