Has anybody got a pic of the rear shelf with Bose installed and a picture of the speakers from within the boot?
Need to start looking at fitting it into mine!
-
Will have a look mate and see if I took a pic of the speakers you have installed in the rear shelf...I know the speakers were one either side towards the front of the shelf...the sub resting on the shelf secured to the underneath of the shelf...
-
I'll try and take a photo of mine later but I can't promise I'll get a chance for a couple of days!
-
Only got a photo of the top of the shelf, must admit I was struggling to work out how it was secured when I removed it...but I think it was 4 little bolts or screws
-
any use

Thats excellent thanks, what it means is I have to cut holes in the metal shelf as neither of my CDx's have them.
-
IIRC i tought the shelf was 75% ready to be cut, you just have to finish cutting the disc out :-/
-
yes mark shelf has holes nearly out only discs held in with small amounts of meatel :y

Just been and double checked.....unless the indents are only in the top of the panel, there is nothing :-[
-
when i put the bose in my mv6 the holes were sort of pre cut just four tabs holding a plate in !! :y you will mabye see better when you take the shelf out bud ! :y
-
MV6 had obvious knockouts for speakers, held in with 4 small welds. Very obvious.
Take a look at mine on Sat, see if you can measure or make some kind of template.
-
May be the MV6 has the cutouts because being more top end it was there ready to be upgraded...or because its a mini facelift...pre mini facelift probably wouldnt have the pre cutouts as it wasnt an upgrade option then??

Marks_DTM's prefacelift is a 99 car, so it must have changed between 98 and 99 then?
M_DTM - did you measure mine at Telford?

No, I was to busy with my head under the other end :y
-
Ill have a look at mine at weekend and take pics, I have some 6x9's to go on the back shelf. When I fitted the rear blind i'm pretty sure I didnt see any ready made holes so, I may have to cut mine. I know they would need cutting anyways given the shape of the speaker, It would be less of a job if they were already half cut.

You got the 4 small holes for the mounting screws for the subs?

When I fitted mine the rear shelf definitely didn't have any cutouts. That's on an 02 plate MV6.
-
my 01 mv6 is the same no holes at all and i also have a bose to install so will be watching with interest what the experts do on this :)
-
Can anybody measure the hole diameter for the rear metal shelf holes..........think I am going to buy a hole saw!

I may still have my old metal knockouts, if so, I'll measure then (not so easy to measure hole with speaker in place).
The speaker bit is round (even though top of bose bass speakers aren't). The cut in carpet bit of parcel shelf is D shared, with the slots for the grill clips.
-
My 51 CDX is the same, solid rear shelf.
I am looking to fit 6'' speaker in the back have a feeling i will have to get the nibbler out for this.
Am yet to see a drill attachment that will drill out a 5'' hole

You can get upto a 6 inch cutter for mild steel.
The Bose appear to be 5 1/2 inch
