Installation in a factory location

INSTALLING GXR SERIES FULL RANGE LOUDSPEAKERS

Installation in a factory location

1.Carefully remove the grille covering the factory speaker. In most cases it will be “press-fit” or screwed to mounting tabs molded into the surrounding area. If you experience any resistance, consult your dealer or your car’s owner’s manual to determine if there is any special way the manufacturer has secured the grille.

2.Remove all screws, mounting clips or lock washers holding the factory speaker in place and save them for reuse. Lift the speaker out of the hole a short distance.

3.Before unhooking the speaker wires, identify the positive speaker terminal (usually marked with a red dot or [+], or it is the terminal that is larger or wider) and identify the negative speaker terminal (usually marked [–], or having no marking, or whichever terminal is the smaller or narrower of the two). Mark the wire connected to the positive terminal for later identification. Use a permanent ink marker or piece of tape.

4.Disconnect the factory speaker. After disconnecting the factory speaker, connect the wires to your new Polk Audio speaker, hooking up the positive [+] wire to the wider of the two GXR terminals and the negative [–] to the narrower GXR terminal.

5.Mount your GXR Loudspeaker using the mounting hardware you saved from Step 2.
