NC Rollbar installation-2

Post by Copper07 »

An addendum to the excellent installation instructions on this forum: on MX-5s with the 6 speaker audio upgrade, there are 2 speakers mounted on the cross brace of the stock roll bar.

They install on 3 welded in bolts (these bolts can be seen in photo # 9 of the installation guide). There are no bolts in this position on the new roll bar. I used a template to drill three holes in the new bar and used self-tapping screws to remount my speakers. Perhaps AWR can be asked to add the bolts in future production???

Good update...if we can get a car with the speakers locally we can have Tony at AWR look at this.

I have an '08 without the Bose and I had speakers there. Maybe all the '08's have them now? I took them out as I felt the stereo seperation was better without them . . .but it would be cool to have a template to put them in if I ever pull it all aprat again.

I just completed my double hoop rollbar installation on my 07 NC that also had 2 speakers factory mounted between the seats (not Bose). I elected not to reinstall these two speakers and found the stereo to be better now than before with these two speakers (better right/left sound definition). Interesting.
