If custom door mounting locations for the KS-Series System Components are desired, be careful to avoid interference from the
window and door lock mechanisms. The first step is to find a location on the door panel that will accept the dimensions of the
speaker. Then remove the door panel from the door, and check for operational clearance of the window. Cycle the window all the way
down and up. If metal must be cut to mount the speakers, avoid structural metal and braces. An optional reinforcing panel (thin piece
of wood or Medium Density Fiberboard) may be necessary if the door panel cannot support the weight of the speaker. Mount the
speaker to the door panel and door body as outlined in Figure 1.
If the factory door speaker wiring is not available, it will be necessary to run the supplied wire through the door jamb. The speaker
wire should be kept away from sharp edges and avoid the possibility of getting pinched by the door. An existing grommet in the door
jamb is the ideal place to run the speaker wire. If the factory hole and grommet do not exist or are inaccessible, you must drill a hole
to run the speaker wire through the door jam. Be careful not to drill into other wiring or existing door mechanisms. Any time a wire is
run through a hole, it is necessary to insert a rubber or plastic grommet to protect the wire from damage as outlined in Figure 2.
