Installation and Mounting:

Installation of the C3900 Slim Speaker in the 2015+ Dodge Charger

is much easier if the entire front facia of the Charger is removed

before the installation begins but it is not necessary. The speaker

may be installed without removing the facia as follows.

Step 1. Raise the vehicle on a rack and remove the black plastic

splash guard that is underneath the front facia of the Charger to

gain access to the space between the back of the grill and the air

conditioner coil. Set the plastic splash guard aside. See the picture

of the splash guard in Figure 1.

Step 2. Locate the front bumper/facia cross member. See the picture

of the cross member in Figure 2.

Step 3. Refer to the exploded view & parts list for bracket

identication. Position the top speaker mounting bracket Part

Number T17202 onto the Charger’s bumper cross member in the

center of the grill or as desired and as shown in Figure 3. Position

the bottom speaker mounting bracket part number T17201 up

against the underside of the Charger’s bumper Cross member and

as shown in Figure 3 making sure the slots in the bottom bracket

engage the studs in the top bracket.

Step 4. Using the bracket as a template, mark the location of the

center of the square hole in the bottom bracket on the underside

of the bumper cross member (See Figure 3 again). Remove both

brackets and use a center punch to dimple the cross member at

the center of the mark to keep the drill from walking off of location.

Depending on the desired location you may be marking and drilling

through a plastic portion of the grill before drilling through the metal

bumper cross member. Drill an 11/32” hole through both levels of the

bumper cross member as shown in Figure 3. Caution: Make sure to

drill the hole as straight as possible as shown and noted in Figure 3.

Step 5. Position the top and bottom brackets up against the cross

member as shown in Figure 4. Make sure the slots in the bottom

bracket engage around the studs in the top bracket. Feed the

supplied 5/16”-18 X 2 1 /2” long carriage bolt through the square hole

in the bottom bracket, through the drilled holes in the cross member

and nally through the slot in the top bracket. Slip the supplied 5/16”

split lock washer and 5/16”–18 hex nut onto the carriage bolt. Hand

tighten the nut as much as possible making sure the square portion

of the carriage bolt is fully seated in the square hole in the bottom

bracket. Tighten the nut with a wrench to fasten the brackets and

clamp them to the cross member.

Step 6. Fasten the speaker/s to the 220-1100-00 speaker mounting

plate using (2) of the supplied 1 /4” split lock washers and (2) of the

1/4”-20 X 1 1 /4” long Philips pan head machine screws to mount

each speaker. See Figure 5 for the single speaker version and see

Figure 6 for the dual speaker version. Note: Make sure the speakers

are mounted in the correct orientation with the word “BOTTOM” at

the bottom of the assembly (See the Figures 5 and 6 for correct

speaker orientation). Caution: Severe damage could occur to the

speaker if it is not mounted in the proper orientation.

Step 7. Position the slotted ange of the speaker mount bracket over

the threaded studs on the top bracket and thread (2) of the supplied

1 /4”-20 hex keps nuts onto the studs to fasten the speaker bracket

to the vehicle. See Figure-7. Tighten the hex nuts with a wrench.

Step 8. Route the wires as desired and replace the plastic lower

facia cover.

Note: You may need to loosen the lower outer corners of the

vehicles front facia or the lower grill to allow the grill to be pushed

out of the way enough to facilitate drilling the hole straight

through the cross member.
