Audiovox 6.0 Inch, Portable Speaker Selecting Speaker Location, Removing the Door Panel

If necessary, remove the door opening handle any accessory. Unless screws are holding the door panel to the door frame, which is very rare, you will find that most door panels are se- cured by spring clips.

3.Using a broad flat tool between door and door panel, un- fasten spring clips. If a few clips are bent when removing them, a pair of pliers will easily re-form them. Once all clips are unfas- tened, lift off door panel.

NOTE:On cars equipped with power windows, seats, etc., it may be necessary to free the power switch plate, usually mounted to the driver’s side arm rest, in order to fully separate the door panel from the frame.

Selecting Speaker Location

After removing the door panel, you are ready to select a location for the speaker. Make this selection as follows:

1.When the steel sub-door panel is exposed, you may find the panel completely or partially covered by brown or black paper secured with a sticky-black, tar-like adhesive. Do not tear this paper off. It is there to insulate the door, to trap moisture, and to reduce wind noise.

2.Carefully unpeel the paper. (Do not do this if speaker openings are exposed.) You should now be able to see all the varied size openings available in the sub-steel door. The reason for exposing all the existing holes is to avoid cutting metal unless it is absolutely necessary.

3.Now determine which existing holes will accommodate your speakers. Temporarily install the window crank; place the speaker into the opening and, while holding the speaker in place, fully raise and lower the window. Check that no moving part touches the speaker while opening or closing the window. Then open and close the door and inspect for speaker interference.

4.If you are satisfied with the selected location, you can begin the installation process. But first, visually check the padded door panel to verify that nothing on it will interfere with installing the speaker grille (an armrest, for example).

5.If the selected location is acceptable, proceed to Speaker Mounting, step 2; if the location needs to be changed, continue with Speaker Mounting, step 1.
