FINDING SPEAKER MOUNTING LOCATIONS

Choosing the correct speaker locations will have the greatest effect on the sound quality of the system. Different considerations are needed when choosing the locations that best suit your 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.
