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 the vehicle..
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..
Door Mounting
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..

Rear Deck Mounting
In rear deck installations, check the operation of the trunk suspension springs or tension bars.. These tension bars move in the opening and closing of the trunk.. You cannot be too cautious during this part of the installation, In addition, do not locate the speakers too close to the back of the rear deck.. Installing the far screws will only be possible with the removal of the rear window..
