screws, (i.e. plastic, cardboard) use the pro vided speed clips which will act as a nut for the supplied screws.
4.Always provide water protection, if not supplied in the vehicle. We suggest using a rain shield or equivalent. If in doubt, please contact your Phoenix Gold Dealer.
DOORS /REAR DECK
1.Many vehicles already have factory locations (Figure 1) to house the “DROP IN” feature of the Ti Component speakers. If no existing locations are available or are not used, check the desired location for adequate cutout area and any depth obstructions. Make sure to allow sufficient clearance for window tracks, structural braces, trunk lid springs, etc.
2.Assuming enough area and depth is available, use the provided template and trace the speaker cutout and mounting holes onto the surface of the mounting location.

SPEAKER INSTALLATION WITHOUT GRILL
Phoenix Gold has provided a foam mounting gasket. When installing your new component speakers in a factory location make sure to use the foam mounting gasket as shown in figure 1. For reverse mounted speakers place the foam gasket in front of the speaker. This will ensure an air tight seal for your Ti speakers.
For more custom applications, or cases where the factory grill will not be used, a high excursion protective grill has been provided. When installing your new component speakers with the provided Ti grill use figure 2. Make sure to use the rubber gasket to get an air tight seal.

CROSSOVER INSTALLATION
We suggest you select a mounting location for the crossovers within the cab of the vehicle, such as the kick panels or near the amplifier. If crossovers must be mounted in the door, mount them between the moisture barrier and the innermost door panel. MOISTURE DAMAGE WILL VOID YOUR WARRANTY.
