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 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 . Many shade tree installers overlook this and check for clearance only when the door is fully open . figure 1 figura 1 abbildung 1

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 . Installing the far screws will only be possible with the removal of the rear window .

Installing The Mid/Woofers
step 1: Determine where the speakers will be mounted . Make sure there is a flat area large enough for the speakers to fit properly . an uneven mounting surface can damage the driver . step 2: Check to make sure the space you have chosen for the speakers will not interfere with the operation of the vehicle . step 3: using the supplied template guide, mark the mounting hole and mounting screw hole locations with a pen for each speaker . step 4: Cut the holes for the speaker . When using correctly sized factory locations, this step can be passed . a hole can be cut either with a pair of metal tin snips, an air or jig saw, or with a hole saw corresponding to the size of the midrange listed below . o 4-3/4" Hole saw (5-1/4" woofer installation) o 5-5/8" Hole saw (6-1/2" woofer installation)
WARNING: Check for clearance of window mechanisms and electrical wires befoRe you drill . 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: Pre-drill mounting screw holes using a 1/8" drill bit .
WARNING: Check for clearance of window mechanisms and electrical wires befoRe you drill . step 7: Pull the wire through the speaker opening and connect to the speaker . be sure to observe proper mid/woofer polarity during this process . step 8: Mount the speaker- Place the speaker and the grille in the installation hole . align the mounting screw holes and drive in the four mounting screws .

Installing The Tweeter
suRfaCe MounTInG step 1: Determine the tweeter mounting location, then route the wires from the crossover to the tweeter location . step 2: Place the provided template or tweeter cup against the panel and mark the two holes at the rear of the housing . step 3: Drill the smaller holes using a 1/8" drill bit . These are the mounting screw holes .
WARNING: Check for clearance of window mechanisms and electrical wires befoRe you drill . step 4: Drill the larger off-center hole using a 3/8" drill bit, insert a grommet and route the speaker wire from the crossover through the grommet . step 5: after removing the surface mount tweeter assembly trim ring, route the tweeter wires through the larger hole in the housing and connect to the speaker wires from the crossover . (see figure 4 .) step 6: Insert the excess speaker wire into the hole and position the housing so the housing will not pinch the wires after final mounting . step 7: attach the housing using the supplied screws of the correct length for a solid mount . step 8: Insert the tweeter into the housing and attach the surface mount trim ring .

Make sure there is a flat area large enough for the tweeter and no obstructions behind the area . step 2: using the back half of the tweeter housing, mark with a pen the hole needed for the tweeter . step 3: be sure the hole is large enough for the tweeter housing, but not so large that the flange will not cover the hole . . step 4: Cut the hole for the tweeter . When using factory locations, this step can be skipped . a hole can be cut either with a pair of metal tin snips or a 1-7/8" hole saw for hard materials .
WARNING: Check for clearance of window mechanisms and electrical wires befoRe you drill .
step 5: Install tweeter in flush mount housing . step 6: Connect the speaker wires observing the correct polarity . step 7: Install tweeter and housing in the hole cut for mounting, so that the trim ring is flat with the front of the surface . step 8: use the supplied pressure ring to secure the housing to the surface .

Installing The Crossover
step 1: find a location for the crossover away from any factory or after market electrical wires .
It is recommended to mount the passive crossover close to the amplifier . step 2: Mount the crossover using the supplied wire ties . step 3: Connect the wires . Make sure the speaker wires for the midrange go to the mid/ woofer output and the tweeter to the tweeter output . be sure to observe the correct polarity . Changing the polarity of the tweeter may be necessary for optimum sound quality .
