I previously had pioneer 6*9s 3way 300w max 40wrms in a 15mm, 3/4inch particle board, but i got a pair of pioneer 6*9, 5 way 400wmax, 80wrms they sound great but the magnet is way bigger and doesnt fit in the current parcel shelf so i got some spacers which helps a little but they still are to close to the fuel tank so im goin to make a new parcel shelf that is taller and will hold the 6*9s better,
My question is what way should i position them pointing towards the driver or just flat, thickness of the mdf im useing and should i make boxes under the shelf or is that not a good idea, the reason i ask about it baind sealed is that when i open the boot i can hear noise from the back of them and it should have better responce??

You might want to consider wedge boxes mounted to the top of the parcel shelf if you have the room. Angled forward in a sealed box would be a very good option.
As for size of the enclosures, figure about 0.15 ft^3 internally for these. May need to go a tad larger (is OK) as the magnets are larger and may require a slighly larger box as this will be a wedge design. Use 1/2" (12.5mm) MDF here as these really won't be for big, deep bass.

You might be able to simply cut a couple pieces of mdf and slap them on top, with the outer most one to be covered if you need more then one. While you have them out see if there is a tupper ware container that could slide into place(from the trunk if possable, never seen a gemeni) and mount from under it. They come in all sizes and often you can throw a small screw through the lip. You can also slap some sound dampener inside of them to stiffen them up a bit, perfect enclusure.
