Mounting Speakers in Custom Hole Locations
1.Using the fabric displacement ring as a template, mark the location of the
3 screw holes and the speaker cutout holes. Before cutting or drilling make sure that there are no car components, electrical wiring or any other items that could be damaged. Also choose an orientation for the
speaker which will align the grille logo in the desired orientation.
2.Cut out the speaker hole at the mounting location. Drill 3 pilot screw holes using a 1/8" (3mm) drill.
3.Run speaker wire to the hole location making sure that either an active or passive crossover is connected to the speaker.
4.Put the speaker fabric displacement ring under the speaker as shown in Figure B.
5.Attach the included foam gasket to the rear mounting surface of the woofer/midrange. Connect the speaker wire to the speaker by either soldering (preferred) or using crimp terminals. Make sure to observe polarity when connecting wire to the speaker. The plus terminal is indicated by the red "W" marking.
6.Mount the speaker to the hole location, using three #8 x 11/4" screws and three shoulder washers as shown in Figure B.
