Location
The sound produced by the KS coaxials is directional. Find the best location for stereophonic sound. If necessary, add more KS coaxial speakers to the system to help distribute and balance the sound. After determining the best mounting locations, carefully check the areas where the mounting hardware will be placed. See Figure 2.
Please allow two weeks of
speaker wire. If the factory hole and grommet do not exist or are inaccessible, you must drill a hole to run the speaker wire through the door jam. Be careful not to drill into other wiring or door mechanisms. Any time a wire is run through a hole, it is necessary to insert a rubber or plastic grommet to protect the wire from damage as outlined in Figure 3.
If the supplied hardware is not applicable to your installation, some other means of securely attaching the speakers to the vehicle must be used.
