Choosing A Location

7

It is always best to plan the complete installation prior to attempting to install any product.  

The routing of wires, power connections and mounting locations should be planned first.  

As with any car stereo installation, and all work performed should be checked thoroughly 

and carefully prior to the operation of the system.

The placement of your Audiobahn speakers within your vehicle will greatly affect the 

overall performance of your audio system.  Every vehicle is different, so installation into 

particular locations of the vehicle may not be possible without modifications.  Factory pro-

vided locations are generally preferable due to ease of installation.  In all cases speakers 

should be placed in a location free of obstruction by body panels, window cranks, storage 

compartments or anything that may hinder the speakers performance.  Avoid areas that 

do not provide a flat, sturdy mounting surface.

Audiobahn ABC speakers are designed to fit into almost any factory location.  Again, if 

at all possible it is recommended that you use a factory location.  This applies mostly 

to later model vehicles.  For those earlier models that do not have factory locations or 

are limited to front locations, it is recommended that you choose an area with sufficient 

airspace.

If you allow an insufficient amount of airspace, the speaker may not reproduce low 

frequencies very well.  It is recommended to mount the speakers in door panels, kick 

panels, rear decks, etc.  Ideally the speaker should be mounted where it will be in an 

enclosed airspace allowing for extended bass response.
