1. Location of Speakers

The placement of the speakers will vary from vehicle to vehicle. Most vehicles have factory cut-outs on the rear window deck behind the rear seat, in the front doors, or front kick panels. Before permanently installing the VR360 speakers in your car, connect the wires to the speakers according to your audio system’s installation manual, in the approximate location you will install them. If you are satisfied with the location, proceed with the permanent installation.

2. Mounting The Speakers

You should only mount your speakers in factory precut holes. We DO NOT recommend that you cut holes for mounting the speakers. If there are no factory precut holes, consider having the speakers professionally installed.

In a Precut HoleIn a Precut Hole

1. Connect speaker wires.

2. Slip the spring nut(s) (provided) into place and align the holes.

3. Place the speaker in the precut hole and align the speaker’s screw holes with screw holes of the spring nuts.

4. Insert screws (provided) and tighten screws with equal tightness. Place the speaker grill on speaker and snap into place.

Frequently Asked Questions

What if there is no sound?

Your stereo may have a blown fuse. Replace fuse with the same amperage and style. You may have improper wiring. Refer to the wiring guide that came with your stereo/amplifier. Check all wires for a secure connection.

What if the sound volume is low?

Your stereo may not have enough power. You may have to install an amplifier to drive the speakers.

Why do I have a whining noise coming from the speakers?

You may have poor filtering of your alternator. If that is the case, then you may need to add an alternator filter to the power lead.

Why do I have odd sounding noises coming from the speakers?

You may have corroded battery terminals and/or a weak battery. If the terminals on the battery are corroded, clean them; then check the sound. If the sound system is still making noises, check battery strength. If it is low, recharge or replace the battery.

Why does the speaker have sound coming from one channel only?

First make sure the balance control is set correctly. If the balance is set correctly, your stereo may be defective or the speaker may be defective. To troubleshoot this problem you MUST change both positive and negative leads of each channel with the positive and negative leads of the opposite channel, if the same speaker has no sound, then the speaker is no good, if the opposite speaker has no sound, then your stereo may be defective.

Before You Install

Automotive audio equipment installations can be troublesome at times, even to the most experienced of installation technicians. If you are not confident working with electrical wiring, removing and reinstalling interior panels, carpeting, dashboards or other components of your vehicle, please call our Toll-Free help line 1-800-445-1797 and our in-house technical service team will answer your installation questions.

Before permanently installing the VR360 speakers in your car, connect the wires to the speakers according to your audio system’s installation manual, in the approximate location you will install them. If you are satisfied with the location, proceed with the permanent installation.

Before you install the VR360 speakers you must make sure you have enough depth/space behind the mounting surface. You do not want the back of the speaker magnet to touch any part of your vehicle, or interfere with the operation or function of any component in your vehicle. (ie. windows or trunk lid)

In an EnclosureIn an Enclosure

The VR360 may be installed in an enclosure. Use the supplied template to check if the holes in the enclosure match the speaker. If the holes do not match up, mark the enclosure using the template as a guide, then drill pilot holes.

All auto audio components must be securely mounted. Driving styles and road conditions such as sudden stops, sharp curves and bumpy roads may cause unsecured items to move about the vehicle, causing physical injuries to vehicle occupants and/or vehicle damage.

3. Connecting The Wires

When connecting the speaker wires to your speakers in a new installation, you should follow the wiring instructions from your audio system’s manufacturer. For most systems the positive wire attaches to the positive speaker terminal and the negative wire attaches to the negative terminal.

To Strip Insulation from Wire:

Strip a fingertip’s width of insulation from end of speaker cable. Twist strands of wire together.

To Attach Wires to Terminals:

Maintain proper polarity by attaching the Positive Wire (+) to the Positive Terminal (+) and the Negative Wire (-) to the Negative Terminal (-).
