Choosing the correct speaker locations will have the greatest effect on the sound quality of the system. Different considerations are needed when choosing the locations that best suit your needs. The locations must be large enough for the speakers to fit. Care is needed to ensure that the location you have chosen will not affect any of the mechanical or electrical operations of the vehicle.

Determining the best location for the speakers will depend on your cosmetic needs and your vehicle's interior. If minimal intrusion in your vehicle is desired, factory speaker locations may be the ticket for you. Placing the speaker in the factory location can often give very desirable results.

DOOR MOUNTING

When checking for possible speaker locations in the doors, check the operation of the window and all of the doors assemblies. There is also a stabilizer stop bar in between the door and the door jamb. This bar prevents the door from opening too far. Pay particular attention to this so you do not damage the speaker when you close the door.

Figure 1 Figura 1 Abbildung 1

REAR DECK MOUNTING

In rear deck installations, check the operation of the trunk suspension springs or tension bars. These tension bars move in the opening and closing of the trunk. You cannot be too cautious during this part of the installation, In addition, do not locate the speakers too close to the back of the rear deck. Mounting the far screws will only be possible with the removal of the rear window.

STEP BY STEP INSTALLATION

Step 1: Determine where the speaker will be mounted. Make sure there is a

flat area large enough for the speaker to fit properly. An uneven mounting surface can damage the driver.

Step 2: Check to make sure the space you have chosen for the speaker will

not interfere with the operation of the vehicle.

Step 3: Using a template, mark the speaker hole with a pen.

Step 4: Cut the hole for the speaker. When using factory locations, this step

can be passed. A hole can be cut either with a pair of metal tin snips or a hole saw corresponding to the size of the speaker listed below.

• 4 3/4" (120mm) hole saw (5 1/4")

• 5 1/2" (140mm) hole saw (6 1/2")

Step 5: Run the speaker wire to the speakers. Make sure to keep wires away

from sharp metal or other edges. When passing through metal ,use a protective grommet.

Step 6: Using the template, mark the mounting holes with a pen.

Step 7: Pre-drill mounting holes using a 1/8" drill bit.

Step 8: Pull the wire through the speaker opening and connect to the

speaker.

Step 9: Mount the speaker and grill in the hole using the same screws. Insert

the screws through the grill and the mounting holes in the basket.

WARNING: Window mechanisms and electrical wires may be hidden from sight. CHECK FOR CLEARING BEFORE YOU DRILL!
