DIRECT REPLACEMENT

ARC Audio speakers are designed to fit most

applications in the original stock location without
modification. Some vehicles may require minor
removal of material and relocation of mounting holes
to achieve a proper fit.

A WORD ON DISTORTION

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 high volume your amp
is probably clipping.

CAUTION:

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

ARC Audio’s KAR Series coaxial speakers are

designed to fit most vehicles without modification.
Some locations will require cutting to obtain a proper
fit.

1. Remove the interior panel to expose the
stock speaker. It may take some time to find
and remove all the clip and screws to
remove this panel.

2. Remove the stock speaker and disconnect it
from the wiring.

3. Check the fit with the new speaker. Make
sure that all the door and window hardware
will clear the larger magnet.
