Step
1:
Remove 4 screws holding the grille and driver onto the housing. And
remove the grille and speaker from the housing. Disconnect speaker wires from
mid bass and tweeter. Remove acoustic dampening material.
Step 2: Remove two small Phillips screws from the top
of
the housing next to
the grommet (2) This will loosen the internal threaded plate.

Step
3:
From inside the housing. Slide out the internal threaded plate and
replace with non threaded plate from X kit. Make sure to install it in the same
direction so the screw holes line up.
Step 4: Remove the center grommet (3) so that the two top plates sit flush on
top
of
the speaker. Take the two powder coated top plates and attach on top
of
the speaker. Use two longer Phillips screws provided in the X kit to attach top
plates into internal non threaded plate.
Step
5:
Butt connect Male Connector (1) to the factory wires. Red for positive
and black for negative.
Step
6:
Take housing and hold up to the tower and plug the connectors together
(1) and (2) and push as much back into the tower and feed the remaining and
connectors into the centerhole
of
the housing.
Step
7:
Take the 2 bolts using the washers and lock washers and bolt the
housing up to the tower. Please make sure that these bolts are tight. Some
towers and adapters will only need a single lock washer and single regular
washer. Other towers and adapters may need extra washers that have been
provided in the kit.
If
you find that the bolt bottoms out and the housing is not
tight, please add washers to properly seat and tighten the housing to the tower.
(The holes on theplates shouldline up directly with thefactory threadedinsets.
However we have seen some towers that are not threaded in theproper
locations.

solid wire and a wire with dash lines. Please make sure to plug the tweeter
wires back together properly matching the non marked with non marked and
dash marked wire with the dash marked wire.
Step 10: Insert the driver into the housing. Insert the grille into the housing
making sure to line up all 4 mounting locations and attach the 4 stainless screws
around to the housing. Please make sure these are tight but DO NOT over
