Talk Morgan Forums Thread Like Summary - Fitting a stereo to an my22 Plus Four

Having secured from a breakers a full stereo system of a 2020 P6 I continued to fit it today.

I already posted fitting the door speakers (here https://www.talkmorgan.com/ubbthreads.php/topics/811187/behind-the-door-card#Post811187) and today I fitted the amp and started on the speakers.

I removed the rear panel and (see how her https://www.talkmorgan.com/ubbthreads.php/topics/809907/creating-stowage-space-on-a-cx#Post809907e) connected up the amp to the loom.
I jury rigged the bluetooth receiver and rear speakers. It worked.



The rear speaker holes exist but mmc seem to have welded the cut out circles of Ali back in at 4 places.
I finished today by sawing through the welds on one and cutting the leather.


I'll post more as I fit the speakers and fit at the front the bluetooth receiver.

I spent this morning fitting the speakers & testing them.
The upside is they are in position.
The downside is the tools no longer fit behind the panel.
It wasn't difficlut just frustrating as the panel is held in the car by the seat belts so it all takes time compared to working on a bench..
That means my back is a tad stiff. so I'll let it rest before fitting the bluetooth receiver.

Some key learnings. I used bolts I had in stock but they were larger diameter than the original ones so I had to open up the slots on the speakers.
The covers I bought are on an angle due to the holes MMC drilled. I never thought of that when buying them but I still think it looks ok.
You do need speaker extension leads to make it easier to connect them up with the panel open.

Given 10c in Suffolk today I got on and finished the job.
These picture from an item on sale on ebay show the section of under dash tray you need to remove, plus there is one screw you can't see at roughly the middle of the glove box 7 another at the far end. There is in total one 10mm bolt & 4 of 3mm allen bolts.


The under dash tray drops down enough to get the power from the USB socket. All the leads are neatly marked so it is easy to know what is what. I needed to make an adaptor piece as I suspected.

I also could not find the RCA cables behind the dash. I suspect they are lurking by the front air vents and I decided instead to route the set that came with the system under the passenger side carpet as removing the wood over the tunnel I see as quite difficult judging by advice from members on here and the thread on changing the autobox gear lever.

It is all done & dusted now and a road test went well. Last drive of 2024 maybe?

Thanks. I'm pleased I spotted the bits on ebay. The cx build quality is way above the trad so fingers crossed.
