before drilling any holes or

installing any screws. Remember

that the screws can extend

behind the surface.

• At the installation sites, locate

and make a note of all fuel lines,

hydraulic brake lines, vacuum

lines and electrical wiring. Use

extreme caution when cutting or

drilling in and around these

areas.

• Before drilling or cutting holes,

use a utility knife to remove

unwanted fabric or vinyl, to keep

material from snagging in a drill

bit or saw.

clearance with the windows

throughout the range of the

window’s travel, and verify that a

mounted speaker will not inter-

INSTALLATION TIPS

•Always wear protective eyewear when using any tools.

•Turn off all audio components and other electrical devices before you start. Disconnect the

(–) negative lead from your vehicle’s battery.

•Keep speakers in their package until final installation. When moving a speaker, always rest it with the cone or dome facing up. Never use force to install any speaker.

• If mounting speakers elsewhere,

check for clearance around rear

deck torsion bars, glove box or

other structural elements.

• Do not mount speakers where

they will get wet.

• If possible, select a mounting site

for the crossover network that is

near the speakers and provides

easy access for connections.
