1.Using the template provided (we’ll assume you’ve already made all the necessary checks and you’ve not going to cut through the door release mechanism), mark the speaker open- ing on the door panel. Now carefully cut the opening and drill the required holes.

NOTE: Whether you’re using an existing hole, or have just cut or modified an existing opening as described above, you are now ready for speaker installation.

2.Place the speaker into the opening and check for proper fit. Remove the speaker and replace the paper door liner previously removed.

Selecting the Speaker Location

1.This is a good speaker location , but to use it, you’ll have to enlarge the existing hole

2.Check for free window crank movement

3.Check for possible braces behind selected area with window down and up

4.This is a poor location for a speaker installation; it is too low and behind driver’s hearing area

Speaker Mounting

Let’s assume you didn’t find a suitable opening, but you want to install the speakers in the doors. This usually means you will have to cut a speaker opening in the sub-metal (or at least enlarge an existing opening). Cutting metal is not for the timid or unqualified installer.
