how easy are they to remove from the boot [ no gas tank, lol ] I don't have the bose amp so presumably there are amps in the 4DO 035 401 25Y 's fitted ; taken one cover off but screws look impossible to get at !

in the short term would be happy to just disconnect [ I think they are causing a parasitic drain ] but can't see how to get at the wiring

Nick, as HP says, you really have to lie in the boot to see what you're doing. There should be hard plastic covers over the speakers in the boot (for protection). Since mine are now long gone, I can't remember if they were held in with two or three screws. The speakers themselves are each held in with two Philips screws, and are in line front to back. You should be able to see the most rearward one quite easily. The other one is when you need to climb into the boot. After that, just push the speaker up gently and set at an angle, before getting back into the car. Each speaker has two sets of connectors.
