Notice
Installation of automotive stereo systems requires experience with a variety of mechanical and electrical procedures. This manual explains the
installation flexibility of the Boston Rally Series speaker systems, not the
exact installation methods to be used in any given case.
If you do not have the experience that these procedures require,
we strongly suggest you consult your Boston Acoustics dealer about
professional installation.

Tools Required
These are the tools required
to complete the basic instal-
lation of the Boston Rally
Series speakers. Additional
tools are necessary for more
custom work.
1. Electric drill with
1
⁄8" (3mm)
and
1
⁄4" (6mm) bits
2. Phillips screwdriver
3. Saber saw, hole saw or
nibbler
4. Utility knife
5. Silicon sealant or weather
stripping (optional)
6. Pliers or 7mm wrench (RM9
only)
Before You Begin
Familiarize yourself with the location of fuel lines, hydraulic brake lines
and electrical wiring. Use extreme caution when cutting or drilling around
these parts.
Shut off all stereo and other electrical devices before you start.
Protect the speakers by keeping them in their plastic bags until final
installation. Speakers attract metal chips and filings. Always rest the
speakers with their cones and tweeters facing up.
Never use force when installing any speaker.
Check clearances on both sides of a mounting surface before drilling
any holes or installing any screws. Some screws require over an inch of
clearance behind the mounting surface.
Use a utility knife to cut fabric away from hole locations before you
drill or cut. Fabric is easily snagged by drill bits and hole saws.
Always wear protective eyewear when cutting and drilling holes or
when using power tools.

Planning the Installation
Read all instructions carefully before you attempt any installation
procedures. Make sure all operations are clear to you.
Make sure you have adequate time and shelter to complete the
installation. Many installations require multiple days to complete.
Examine the Boston Rally Series speakers and hardware so that you
are familiar with them before you start the installation.
1. Decide on speaker placement.
2. Run the speaker wires.
3. Install the speakers and complete the wiring.
