SAFE
SOUNDTM
Continuous
exposure
to
sound pressure levels
over
100dB may cause
permanent
hearing
loss. High
powered
automotive
sound systems can
generate
sound pressure levels in
excess
of
130dB.
When
playing
your
system
at
high
levels, please use
hearing
protection
and
prevent
long
term
exposure.

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
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
apen.
Step
4:
Cut
the
hole
for
the
speaker.
When
using
factory

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.
•
43/4"
(120mm)
hole
saw
(5
1/4")
• 5 1/2" (140mm)
hole
saw (6
1/2")
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
apen.
Step
7:
Pre-drill
mounting
holes using a1/8"
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.
