The way I did mine was to make the holes in the parcel shelf big enough to accept the speaker magnets then cut up a piece of microcellular sheeting to make the actual collars.

I'm a shoe repairer by trade so it's the same material you used to get on hush puppies :D

2 sheets of 8mm thickness was perfect. The beauty of it is that it's firm enough to accept screws but soft enough so that there's no rattles at all.

Some pics.
