FINDING SPEAKER MOUNTING LOCATIONS
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.

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.
• 41/8" (105mm) hole saw (4"Coaxial installation)
• 43/4" (120mm) hole saw (5.25"Coaxial installation)
• 51/8" (130mm) hole saw (6" & 6.5" Coaxial installation)
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.
