REAR DECK MOUNTING

In rear deck installations, check the operation of the trunk suspension springs or tension bars. These tension bars can move when opening and closing the trunk and can exert a great deal of force against anything that obstructs their movement, such as a speaker basket or motor assembly. In addition, try to avoid locating the speakers too close to the back edge of the rear deck. Installing the rearmost screws may not be possible without the removal of the rear window.

INSTALLING THE MIDRANGE

Step 1: Determine where the speaker will be mounted. Make sure there is a flat area large enough for the speaker to fit properly. An uneven mounting surface can damage the driver and limit the bass performance of your PC component system.

Step 2: Check to make sure the mounting location you have chosen for the speaker will not interfere with the operation of the vehicle.

Step 3: Using the supplied template guide, mark the hole with a pen.

Step 4: [Skip this step if using correctly sized factory locations] Cut the hole for the speaker. A hole can be cut either with a pair of metal tin snips, an air or jig saw, or with a hole saw corresponding to the size of the woofer listed below.

4¾” Hole Saw (5¼” woofer installation)

5¾” Hole Saw (6½” woofer installation)

WARNING: Window mechanisms and electrical wires and other expensive car parts have a nasty habit of hiding where you least expect. CHECK BEFORE YOU DRILL!

Step 5: Run the speaker wire to the speakers. Make sure to keep wires away from sharp metal or other edges. When passing through metal, use a protective grommet.
