6- x 9-Inch 2 Way Flush-Mount Speaker System
CHOOSING A LOCATION
For the best performance, install these
speakers on a solid, firm surface that
does not vibrate at high volume levels.
We recommend you mount the speak-
ers in the door panels or the rear
deck.
Note: Cardboard or fiber panels are
not good mounting surfaces.
As you are deciding on a location,
carefully inspect the area behind the
proposed mounting surface.
• There must be a clear unob-
structed area of at least 3 inches
(76.2 mm) behind the panel.
• If it is a door location, check to be
sure the window, window mecha-
nism, and window handle will
clear the speaker.
Note: Make sure the window
opens and closes properly.
INSTALLING THE
SPEAKERS
1. Use the supplied template to mark
the speaker opening and the
mounting-screw hole locations.
2. Cut out the marked speaker open-
ing in the mounting surface.
Note: Steel door panels and the
rear deck (behind the upholstery)
might already have large cut-out
areas for recessing the speaker.
3. Drill the four mounting-screw
holes.
Caution: Be careful not to drill
into anything behind the mounting
surface.
4. If necessary, route new speaker
wire from the autosound system to
the mounting area.
Cautions:
• Avoid routing speaker wires
near moving parts, sharp
edges, or where they will be
pinched or stepped on. You can
usually route them along the
channel beneath the vehicle’s
door facings.
