NOTE: Alphasonik strongly recommends that you operate your system at
low volume prior to the completed installation of your Alphasonik speakers.
This will allow a test of the speaker before securing it to its permanent
location.
CAUTION: Make sure that all speaker wiring is fully protected from cuts,
tears and possible wear. Any short circuit developing as a result could
severely damage the source unit or possibly the amplifier. Make sure all
speaker wires easily reach the speaker terminal with no stress on the wires
or connectors.
MOUNTING
:
1. Confirm the mounting location and depth requirements by inspecting the
area where the speaker will be mounted. Most speakers will fit into stock
locations on the vehicle, in this case only depth is important.
2. If the location you have picked does require cutting, use the hole cutout
measurement from page 4 and mark the mounting location.
3. If there is a cosmetic panel where the speaker will be mounted, we
recommend using a utility knife to carefully cut a hole in it. Confirm the
cut by placing the speaker in the hole. You may modify the hole as
necessary.
4. If it will be necessary to cut steel, reinstall the cosmetic panel in place
and use the hole you have previously cut as a template. This will help
to insure proper cutting and a good fit. Mark the location for the speaker
mounting screws, remove the panel and drill the screw holes. When
finished you may replace the panel.
5. After cutting and drilling all holes, inspect the mounting areas for any
metal burrs or rough edges. File any area that may interfere with the
mounting of the speaker.
6. Clean any metal shavings from the mounting area and check for areas
in which water may enter the speaker cavity. Treat the area for water
protection when necessary.
