Removing the Door Card
1. To access the door speaker, first
carefully remove the door card. This is
secured with 6 x T25 Torx screws and
plastic panel clips. Ensure all screws and
clips are correctly removed and retained
for re-installation
2. Using a trim removal tool, remove the
plastic trim from the centre of the door
handle then remove the two T25 Torx
screws located behind. (We recommend
using the VIBE CLTRT-V7 trim removal
tools available from any VIBE authorised
dealer)
3. With the Torx screws removed, remove
the handle completely from the door
card.
4. Remove the single T25 Torx screw
located in the centre of the door card

5. Remove the three T25 Torx screws
located along the bottom edge of the
door card. Once removed, use a trim
removal tool to carefully release the
plastic clips securing the door card to
the door
6. With the door card fully released from
the door, unplug the window/door
switches, and release the door opening
cable. This is released by unclipping the
front edge and sliding it back out of its
locating channel. Once released,
unhook the metal cable
7. Once the door card is removed fully,
store safely to avoid damage.
Removing the Door card continued…

15.The factory speaker is secured to the
door using rivets. To remove the
speaker, drill out the rivets using a 5mm
drill bit. Take care not to damage the
vehicle and ensure protective eyewear
is worn. Once all rivets are removed,
unplug the speaker, and remove.
Note: Ensure the window is in the up
position when drilling the rivets.
16.Ensure the door panel is clean and free
from grease and dirt. Apply the self-
adhesive sound deadening to the door
panel directly behind the speaker as
shown. For maximum coverage cut the
sound deadening in half and place
above and below the door
strengthening bar
11.Affix the self-adhesive wave diffuser
directly behind the speaker. Ensure
its firmly secured as not to obstruct
the window when open.
10.Fix the speaker bracket to the door
panel by lining up the securing holes
and using nuts & bolts or
screw/rivets (not provided) to secure
the mounting bracket to the door
Replacing the Door Speakers

12.Connect the speaker wiring adaptor
and make a small hole in the rubber
grommet. Pass the speaker wires
through the grommet into the door
cavity. Ensure the wiring is kept tight
against to door skin as to not
obstruct the window when lowered
down
13.Insert the silicon baffle into the
speaker adaptor and line up the
securing holes. (6.5” version only)
14.Connect the speaker spade terminals
to the woofer ensuring the polarity is
correct (Red Positive +, Black
Negative -) Line up the holes and
silicone baffle and use the screws
provided to secure to the speaker
adaptor
Test the speaker and re-install the
door card. Re-installation is a
reversal of the removal process.
NOTE Please check the window does
not catch the Speaker on the 8” kit
when full down. If it does please add
a 2 mm spacer or foam gasket to the
back of the speaker. Extra Sound
deadening included which can be
fitted under the adapter and
speaker if need (8” version only)

15.To remove the factory tweeter (if fitted)
first use a trim removal tool to remove
the dash cover. Lift the front edge first
and remove completely
16.Remove the tweeter (if fitted) by
removing the two T15 Torx screws
securing the tweeter mount to the dash
and unplugging the tweeter connector.
Safely retain the mounting screws for
reinstallation
17.Before fitting the new tweeters, please
make sure the crossover or capacitor is
used to protect the tweeter. (See
Section 21 for details.)
Secure the OPTI1C tweeter to the new
tweeter mount using the metal locking
ring provided.
18.For vehicles that are not fitted with
factory tweeters in the dash, the OPTI1C
tweeter wires will need to be routed to
behind the stereo. Connect the T Crimp
connecters as shown to the Tweeter
wires and clamp closed using pliers or
similar.
Please make sure the included
crossover is used. This can vary from
the kit order from inline to separate
yellow cap. This should be used on the
positive cable

19.Connect the T-Crimp connectors to the
stereo front speaker output wires. Take
special care to ensure the polarity is
correct so power correctly flows

diagram. (Tweeter wiring, Black/White –
Positive +, Black –Negative -)
Note: Failure to complete this step
correctly may result in damage to the

easily be removed with the use of heat and
a small amount of pressure.

needed at this point
