speaker system. Treat each installation step with a
high degree of attention.
We strongly recommend that you operate the com-

stallation. This will allow a trial listening test before
securing the loudspeakers into their mounting loca-
tions.
Install the cabling in a manner which precludes any

hing or rupture forces. If there are sharp edges in
the vicinity (e.g. holes in the bodywork) all cables
must be cushioned and protected to prevent fraying.
Make sure that all speaker wires easily reach the
speaker terminals without stress on the wire or con-
nectors.
Once you have tested the complete speaker

Installation
Removal of the door panel
In order to install the MATCH speakers in the ori-
ginal mounting positions it is mandatory to remove
the door panels.
If you are uncertain how to remove the panels,
SOHDVHHLWKHUDVN\RXUORFDO%0:GHDOHURUDQH[-
perienced car audio dealer for assistance. In any
case follow the instructions of the car manufacturer.
Here are some important hints:
1. The door panel is fastened with several hidden
screws to the metal sheet of the door. Make sure
that you have loosened all screws before you try to
remove the door panel.

plastic clips, which may be damaged during the
disassembly when the ambient temperature is be-
low 10°C. Always pull the door panel horizontally
to loosen the clips – never apply any vertical force.
Note that broken plastic clips have to be replaced
before reinstalling the door panel in order to avoid
undesired rattle and noise.
Installation of the MS 42C-BMW.2
The MS 42C-BMW.2 is a 2-way component system,
which will be mounted in the original speaker loca-
tions. After you have dismantled the door panels,
you can remove the original midrange speakers.
Then reinstall the new MATCH midwoofers, using
the included screws.
For the installation of the tweeters you have to re-
move the mirror triangles that incorporated the ori-
JLQDO WZHHWHUV ([WUDFW WKH RULJLQDO WZHHWHUV IURP
the triangles and replace them by the new MATCH
tweeters. If you own a car that hasn’t any tweeters

After the installation of the midwoofers and the
tweeters you have to connect them to the crossover
network using the included cable harness. Please
note that all wires from speaker to crossover net-
work are already pre-assembled with cable shoes

door panel, e.g. by using some strong, double-
sided adhesive tape or hot glue. Make sure that
you choose an appropriate recess in the door panel
as position for the crossover network itself, so that
it does not collide with any other part of the door
structure when you reassemble the door panel.
Finally you have to connect the original speaker
cable to the input of the crossover network. This re-
quires cutting off the original connector with pincers.
Never cut the cables directly behind the connector
itself if you like to reconnect them at a later date.
The original speaker cables have to be equipped
with the crimp terminals. These crimp terminals
stick in one of the pre-assembled cables. If you
don’t have a dedicated crimping tool you can use

After the installation of the speakers you have to
connect them to the inline crossover networks. Fi-
nally you have to connect the original speaker cable

quires cutting off the original connector with pincers.

original speaker grilles, allowing accessing the woo-
fers themselves. Now replace the original woofers
by the new MATCH subs. For proper operation
of the subwoofers it might be necessary to partly
remove the foam around the speaker mounting
hole. After that you have to re-assemble the origi-
nal speaker grilles. Finally you have to reinstall the
front seats. Please double-check that you have tigh
ten each of the four mounting screws of each seat
properly!

Installation of MATCH acoustic cloth
In order to protect the under-seat subwoofer
from dust we recommend to glue the included
[ LQFK 0$7&+DFRXVWLF FORWK WR WKH ERWWRP
side of the original plastic grille.
You need an appropriate contact glue which is not
included in delivery.
Proceed as follows:
a) Place both grilles with bottom side up in front of
you
b) Clean the bottom side from dust and grease with
an appropriate cleaner (e.g. glass cleaner)
c) Apply glue onto the grilles’ edge around the
sound holes
d) Put a MATCH acoustic cloth on each grille and
press it thoroughly until the cloth is plain without
wrinkles
e) Wait until the glue is hardened in order to cut the
overlapping cloth around the grille
f) For an easy installation pierce the mounting ho-
les of each grille with a sharp tool
