CHOOSING A LOCATION

For the best performance , install these speakers on a sol id,
firm surface that d oes not vibrate at h igh volume levels. W e
recommend you mount the speakers in the door panels or the
rear deck.

Note:

Cardboard or fiber panels a re not good mounting sur -

faces.
While deciding on a locat ion, carefully inspect the area be-

hind the proposed mounting surface.

• There must be a clea r unobstructed a rea of at le ast 2

/

16

inches (56.35 mm) behind the panel.

• If it is a door locat ion, check to be sure the window, win­dow mechanism, and window handle will clear the
speaker. Make sure the window opens and closes prop­erly.

INSTALLING THE SPEAKERS

1. Use the supplied temp late to mark the speaker open ing
and the mounting-screw hole locations.

Note:

You can select any 4 of the 10 holes on the tem­plate to mark the screw positi ons. However, be sure the
holes you select ensure a firm mount for the speaker.

2. Cut out the marked speaker opening in the mounting sur­face.

Note:

Steel door panels a nd the rear deck (behind the
upholstery) might already have large cutout areas for
recessing the speaker.

3. Drill the four mounting -screw holes. Be car eful not to d rill
into anything behind the mounting surface.

4. Mount the supplied speed clips directly onto the indicated
mounting-screw holes that you dril led using the supplied
template.

5. If necessary, route new speaker wires from the auto­sound system to the mounting area.

•

Cautions:

• Avoid routing speaker wires near moving parts, sharp

edges, or where they will be pinched or stepped on.
You can usually route th em alo ng the channel beneat h
the vehicle’s door facings.

• If you selected door locations, you might need to

punch a small hole in the door edge (near the door
hinges) to route the wire s into the do or. Leave enough
slack wire to open the door all the way.

6. Securely connect the positive (+) and negative (–)
stripped speaker wir e e nds t o the corresponding sp eak er
terminals.

•

Cautions:

• Improper phasing can c ause poor bass response. Be

sure to connect (+) to (+) and (–) to (–).

• Do not connect an y of your spe aker te rmina ls t o cha s-

sis ground.
