General information
This manual has been designed to make HELIX PRECI­SION automotive loudspeaker installation and ownership as trouble-free as possible. Please read through this manual completely before attempting any installation steps and familiarize yourself with your new speaker system.
You will need your purchase receipt as proof of purcha­se for any and all warranty repairs and for insurance pur­poses. Keep your receipt, owner's manual, and packing materials in a safe location for possible future use.
Pre-installation instructions
It is recommended that you have your new HELIX PRE­CISION automotive loudspeakers professionally installed by your authorized HELIX dealer. This will ensure the use of proper installation techniques and materials, and will save much time and effort. If you choose to perform your own installation read the following information and precautions carefully.
Failure to follow the stated precautions may result in personal injury and/or damage the audio system or vehicle.
A. Always make sure the speaker will easily fit into the intended mounting location and that there is adequate cavity depth to accept the magnet structure.
B. Check for adequate clearance between speaker and window, window crank, power window mechanism, seat, glove box, rear deck torsion bars, and other items which may interfere with the speaker's mounting. This is espe­cially important if any hole cutting is required. Complete speaker, mounting size and depth require­ments can be found at the end of this manual. A good way to confirm speaker place meet on a door or body panel is to place the speaker's die cast mounting ring onto the surfa from all obstruction.
C. The method of installation chosen and level of execu­tion will effect the overall performance of the speaker system. Treat each installation step with a high degree of attention.
D. Do not mount the speaker where water may splash the woofer cone. A plastic cup or some heavy gauge plastic sheeting may be needed in some locations that are exposed to moi­sture from behind the body panel.
E. Care must be taken to prevent low frequency cancel­lation caused by air leakage between the front and rear of the speaker (such as when mounted on a curved or uneven surface, or when mounted in an oversized hole).
F. Mounting panel reinforcement may be necessary in some cases in order to prevent surface flex. This can be achieved by mounting the speaker on a metal or wooden sub-baffle behind the body or door panel. Consult an installation specialist for further direction.
G. Unless you are replacing existing speakers of same size, mounting locations will have to be cut into the doors, body panels, or rear deck. In some cases speaker mounting holes will be precut in the doors, body panels, or rear deck steel. Due to their structural integrity and accessibility. These precut mounting holes should be used whenever possible.
IMPORTANT: Never cut any metal that is an integral part of an automobile's safety or structural supportsystem.
HELIX PRECISION Speaker Installation
NOTE. HELIX strongly recommends that you operate the complete audio system at low volume before final instal­lation of your HELIX PRECISION automotive loudspea­kers. This will allow a trial listening test before securing the loudspeakers into their mounting locations.
ce. Check for a flat mounting surface, free

CAUTION: Make sure that all speaker wiring is fully protec­ted from cutting or wear. Any short circuits deve­loping as a result could severely damage the radio/cassette unit or amplifier. Make sure that all speaker wires easily reach the speaker termi­nals with stress on the wire or connectors.
Securing the loudspeaker
Once you have tested the complete speaker system and have confirmed correct operation, turn the audio system off and prepare the loudspeaker for final mounting.
