Default Sub woofer

I'm getting into unfamiliar territory here and would be grateful for some advice.

Apparently, there is a specific sub woofer for the R75 saloon which fits under the parcel shelf.

Can it be retrofitted if the car has the electric sunblind please?

Would it have a noticeable effect on the sound quality being fed directly from my Pioneer and not being requited to cope with anything other than Wagner, Mozart and some occasional jazz / rock?

Any help / advice welcome

Thanks

Hi Paul, I have the subwoofer fitted also the electric sunblind, one thing though it drastically cuts down the opening of the boot for getting large items in.

Thats a shame about loosing space in the boot as I have always fancied a subwoofer too....

You must be able to because I have rear electric blind/shelves in stock for when you have the HK subwoofer fitted, they have an extra speaker grille in the centre of the shelf

No it is from the Harmon Karden Upgrade kit,
The Amplifier is part of that..
It is not the best in the world as it amplifies the output from speaker source rather than from direct output source.
