INSTALLATION WARNINGS AND TIPS
• Always wear protective eyewear when using
any tools.
• Turn off all audio systems and other electrical
devices before you start. Disconnect the (–) negative lead from your vehicle’s battery.
• Keep speakers in their package until final installation. When moving a speaker, always rest it
with the cone or dome facing up. Never use
force to install any speaker.
• Check clearances on both sides of a planned
mounting surface before drilling any holes or
installing any screws. Remember that the
screws can extend behind the surface.
• At the installation sites, locate and make a note
of all fuel lines, hydraulic brake lines, vacuum
lines and electrical wiring. Use extreme caution
when cutting or drilling in and around these
areas.
CAUTION: In some cars, fuel tanks may be
located directly beneath the rear deck. Check
for adequate speaker basket clearance before
considering this location!
• Before drilling or cutting holes, use a utility
knife to remove unwanted fabric or vinyl, to
keep material from snagging in a drill bit or
saw.
• For door installations, check the clearance with
the windows throughout the range of the window’s travel, and verify that a mounted speaker
will not interfere with the window crank or
power window mechanism.
• If mounting speakers elsewhere, check for clearance around rear-deck torsion bars, glove box
or other structural elements.
• Do not mount speakers where they will get wet.
