Tools Needed
The following is a list of some of the tools necessary for the installation of
your speakers.
• Power Drill with assorted bits • #2 Phillips Screwdriver
• Tape Measure • Voltmeter
General
1. For safety, disconnect the negative lead from the battery prior to beginning
the installation.
2. Never run wires underneath the vehicle. Running the wires inside the vehi-
cle provides the best protection.
3. Avoid running wires over or through sharp edges. Use rubber or plastic
grommets to protect any wires routed through metal.
4. Mount the speakers away from electrical sources (other than the amplifier)
i.e., power cables, electronic fuel pumps, vehicle computers, and other
potential noise sources.
5. Mount the speakers away from areas of extreme heat or moisture.
Speakers
1. Make sure there is an area large enough for the speaker to mount. Warning!
Failure to do this can cause damage to the speaker if the speaker frame is
bent during installation.
2. Check to see that the location is deep enough for the speaker(s) and the loca-
tion does not interfere with the normal operation of the vehicle.
3. When mounting the speaker(s) in the door of a vehicle, make sure the speak-
er(s) do not interfere with either the door or window operation.
4. When mounting the speaker(s) on the rear deck of the vehicle, check the
operation of the rear hatch or trunk lid. Make sure the torsion bars and other
moving parts are not obstructed by the speaker(s) installation.
• Please refer to the Specifications section of this manual for proper mounting
diameter and depth of the speaker(s).
