Mounting
Cautions must be observed when mounting speakers through the package tray of a car, watch for wiring harnesses, trunk springs, hinges, and folding seat mechanisms. When running the wires be careful not to damage them with seat bolts or door sill screws.
If custom door mounting locations are desired for your drivers, be careful to avoid
interference from window and door lock mechanisms. The
first step is to find a location
on the door panel that will accept the size of speaker
chosen. Then remove the door panel from the door, and
check for the operation of the window all the way up and down. If metal must be cut to mount the speakers, try to
avoid structural metal and braces. On models with grills included, mount as indi- cated in the following diagram. Figure 1.
If factory door speaker wiring is not available to connect your speakers to, it is necessary to run the supplied wire through the door jamb. This wire should be kept away from sharp edges and the possibility of getting pinched. An existing boot in the door jamb is the ideal place to run the wires, but sometimes this does not exist or is inaccessible. Drilling holes to run wires through is very tricky, and caution must be exercised not to drill into other wiring or mechanisms. Any time a wire is run through a bare hole, it is necessary to insert a rubber or plastic grommet first to protect the wire. Figure 2.
