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

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 .

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 .
