As with any car audio/video
installation, your first step is to disconnect the negative terminal of your car battery to prevent short circuits. Check your Crutchfield MasterSheet™ (available for most vehicles) or vehicle owner’s manual for specific directions. In some vehicles, disconnecting the battery may require you to re-enter a security code or have the dealer reset the internal computer.

Installing Speakers: Easy and Effective
Installing new speakers is the single most cost-effective improvement you can make to your vehicle’s audio/video system. Not only are aftermarket speakers relatively inexpensive, they are usually not difficult to install, thanks to the free brackets, wiring harnesses, and detailed Crutchfield
MasterSheet™
instructions (available for most vehicles) you get when you buy your speakers from us. Of course, each car is different, but let’s take a look at some of the more common speaker mounting locations, and what you might expect when installing speakers there.
Types of Installations
It's helpful to think of speaker installation as falling into one of two categories:
1. Easy Fit
This describers speakers that fit your factory
speaker openings and use factory speaker grilles and brackets.
Occasionally, you will need to use a special set of
brackets or adapters to install these speakers in your vehicle.
2. Modify Fit
These speakers require more extensive modifications
such as cutting or filing metal, plastic, or pressboard. These installations are more complicated and require more tools and time.
Most speakers matched to your vehicle will fit directly into the existing factory speaker opening.
You will sometimes need a bracket to fit the speaker properly into the existing factory opening.
Some speakers may require additional steps such as filing a plastic speaker basket to allow for a larger magnet structure (right). In rare cases, a speaker may require you to cut a new speaker opening (below).
Always be careful when drilling or cutting in a vehicle. Be aware of things such as wiring, windows, fuel lines and safety devices. Check drilling/cutting depth and location to avoid damage to vehicle appearance.
