Default HK rear shelf unit with electric rear blind?

As it says in the title really.

I've seen several HK systems coming up for sale and have read about retrofits here but I have the OEM fitted electric rear blind.

Is it possible to fit the rear HK shelf speaker system with the blind?

Is there a picture anywhere of a rear parcel shelf with this installation?

cheers

it is possible, I have a couple of 75's that have both on from the factory. I am sure someone will have a how-to somewhere.

Do you have a photo of the rear parcel shelf showing the HK speaker grills and blind by any chance please?.

I wanted to to see how it all lines up/looks and what holes etc I might have to cut (as I doubt I'll find the right replacement parcel shelf) before I consider upgrading.

cheers

I've just installed the full h/k set up and i have the rear electric sunblind.
You dont need to cut holes for the two speakers that are fitted to the subwoofer, there is a tube that fits in a hole to the centre of the sub and you just drill a hole through the parcel shelf, the hole is already there in the bodywork, just take out the rubber bung, doesnt interfere with the blind at all.

I need the h/k grill to cover the hole if anyone has one( with the four fixings!).

Steve.

Is this any good?



There is a good 'How-To' on retro fitting it in the How-To section as well
