Most speaker damage occurs as a result of amplifier
distortion also known as “Clipping”. Clipping occurs
when an amp is driven beyond its maximum rated
output. This kind of distortion can be hard to hear
unless you know what to listen for. Any time you hear
a harsh ear piercing sound at hi volume your amp is
probably clipping.

Please check the suitability of the installation
location before you begin. Do not cut any of the
car’s structure. Pay attention to the mechanism of
the window and door.

If you do not have experience with automotive
electrical and mechanical systems contact a
professional installer. Paying a qualified installer is
almost always cheaper then paying a dealership to
repair your car.

THE INSTALL

Install the Woofer

After you have found the best location for the
woofer make or enlarge the mounting hole. Make
sure the opening is just large enough for the woofer
to fit tightly with no gaps. Make sure the surface is
flat and that the speaker does not bind up in the
opening. Use an awl or felt pen to mark the panel
and drill the screw holes without the speaker in
place. This will save the costly mistake of punching
a hole in one of your new speakers. Install the
woofer with the grill ring using the 4 screws
provided with this system. Firmly seat the grill into
its ring.

Remove the grill from the trim ring first then follow
the steps below installation.

1. Place the speaker in the opening with the
trim ring over it.

2. Screw the trim ring through the panel with
the clips beneath.

3. Install the grill into the trim ring. Add a few
drops of glue if necessary.

4. Snap in the finish ring.
