BEFORE STARTING

MTX recommends that you have your new speakers installed by an authorized MTX retailer, prefer-
ably MECP certifi ed. If you do decide to do it yourself, make sure you have read the instructions
carefully and that you have the following tools:

• Electric drill

• Phillips bit or screwdriver

• 1/8” bit

• Door panel puller

• Wire cutters/crimpers

• Metal cutting tool

• Safety glasses

• 2mm hex wrench

• X-acto knife

Throughout installation, keep in mind the ultimate objective of creating an ideal soundstage and ex-
ceptional imaging. This refers to the experience you get when you sit in your seat with your head up
and shoulders straight, close your eyes, and listen. Where does the music seem to be coming from?
In an ideal world, you would hear all music from front and center, meaning it sounds like a band is
performing on your hood. Raising the soundstage is a very important process and every option should
be considered in order to have your sound as up and in front as possible.

Removing the Door Panel
Please be aware that today’s cars have door panels that are not designed to come apart easily; they
are designed by the factory to sit tight against the door and not rattle. It is important to note that if the
proper procedures are not followed, the door panels can easily become damaged and make them fi t
improperly when you’re trying to reinstall them.

Use a door panel puller to remove the door panel, and be aware there are often hidden screws that,
if overlooked, can cause the panel to crack or break when force is applied to remove door panel. It
might be a good idea to do some research on your specifi c car to be sure they are all removed before
continuing. Even new car owner needs to be aware of this potential issue. Buying a new door panel
is an expensive process so please take note of the potential for damage.

With the door panel off, it is a perfect time to add sound dampener. The main goal of sound dampen-
ers is to add mass to the metal in the door, causing less rattle and “ring” which will help to improve
the overall sound of your new speakers. It also helps prevent against outside noise by adding insula-
tion. Sound dampening material can be purchased from your local retailer and is available in many
different forms, and kits, for many different applications. Please make sure you purchase the correct
type for your specifi c project.

Note: Before cutting anything, please use common sense and make sure that no wires or glass will
interfere with cutting tools. ALWAYS WEAR PROPER SAFETY GLASSES. Be sure all wires are clear of
moving parts such as window crank mechanisms and trunk hinges. Use rubber grommets when run-
ning wires through sharp edged metal holes, which may wear through the wire’s insulation.

Do not mount speakers where they could come in contact with:

• The door’s window glass

• The window crank handle or gear assembly when rotated

• The trunk springs, shock towers, or trunk lid

• The gas tank or fuel lines
