Here's my parcel shelf: 6" original speaker hole in the middle, two sets of 10cm holes as well. I've got some speakers to go in them, but which set? Outside or inside? Got some vinyl to retrim it, probably will sound deaden the shelf as well while I'm about it, and as a bonus I get to ditch this horrible thing: I'm not going to tell you which way I'm leaning, I just want to know what people think

I prefer the speakers further outboard. Maybe you could make up some vintage looking speaker pods. Faced with something like this

Definitely outside - the widest space as possible is the way to go.
Even better if they were in front!

The woofers can be closer to the center, but the midrange and tweeters should be outside as far as possible

I’d ignore them all & cut two more

Definitely don't cut additional holes in the steel as it reduces the structural integrity of the body shell. Pretty sure it's not even legal to do that here in New Zealand. As others have said the wider apart the speakers are the better the sound quality so use the outermost holes. Elwoody makes a good point. I too would be inclined to save the original upholstered shelf as it looks too good to destroy, and make a new one to suit.

I've gone with the outside holes. The old shelf already has had holes drilled and cut in it to fit the high level brake light and is quite tatty so I've recovered it, but I might get a bit of MDF instead. I drastically over-ordered when I got the vinyl, I reckon I could cover ten shelves with what I've got!
A bit of MDF though would also mean I wouldn't have to even drill the metal, so I'm inclined to do that now.
