3.Drill a starter hole inside the out- lined area. Carefully remove the area you marked, using a razor, tin snip, or a hacksaw blade.

4. Drill three 1/8-inch mounting holes.

5.Disconnect the wires from the speakers and route them from your sound system through the door sill and to the speaker’s mounting location. You might need to drill a hole to route the wire through the door sill. Some cars have predrilled holes and rubber tubes for routing wires.

Cautions:

Be sure you allow enough slack in the wire to prevent pulling the wire front he speaker when you open the door all the way.

Tape any exposed wire to pre- vent the wire from being pinched or cut when the door is closed.

6.Replace the door panel. Then, pull the wires through the hole you made for the speaker and connect the wires to the speaker’s termi- nals. See “Wiring the Speakers.”

7.Mount the speaker as needed.

If you mount the speaker on a metal surface, align the mount- ing holes on the speaker with the three drilled holes and secure the speaker with the supplied screws.

If you mount the speaker on a non-metal surface, insert the three supplied speed clips into the mounting holes to ensure a firm mount and to protect the mounting holes. Then align the mounting holes on the speaker with the three drilled holes and secure the speaker with the supplied screws.

8.Align the speaker grille with the speaker and press it onto the speaker until it snaps into place.
