Most cars have speaker grilles which blend with the rest of the car’s interior. Sometimes it is difficult to determine how to remove these grilles to gain access to the speaker which you intend to replace. If you have one of these grilles, you may want to consider using a professional installer. On some cars, the grilles are held by screws or spring clips. The screws will be obvious; however, the spring clips won’t be.

If there are screws, remove them, put them in a safe spot, and remove the grilles. To remove a clip-on grill, use your flat-blade screwdriver or a putty knife to gently pry up the grille. If it resists, back off and think again about the professional install. The cost of one of these can sometimes be less than the cost of new door panels. Some grilles are integral parts of the door panel and are not removable. In these cases you will need to remove the entire door panel to gain access to the speaker location. This will usually require removal of door handles, window winder mechanisms, and perhaps other parts such as door pulls and lock buttons.

The EX System Crossovers

You will need to make wiring connections from your amp or radio to the crossovers and from the crossovers to your mid/woofers and tweeters (see Figure 1). Choose crossover box locations that are convenient for making these connections.

Your EX Series II crossovers have terminals which are clearly marked for wiring connections. Refer to Figure 2 before making connections between your crossovers, mid/woofers, and tweeters. The wires provided with your EX System have one red conductor. Use this wire as the positive (+) lead and connect it to the positive (+) terminals on your crossovers as well as to the positive (+) terminals of each speaker.
