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.
