Do not use your automobile until all components of the loudspeaker
system have been secured to the interior framework. Failure to do so
may turn a component into a dangerous, flying projectile during a
sudden stop or accident.
Do not drill or drive screws through any vehicle interior or carpeted
floor before inspecting the underside for potential punctures to control
lines or cables. Be sure to avoid all fuel lines, brake lines, electrical
cables or oil lines when planning the installation.
Before beginning installation of the loudspeaker system remove the
minus connector from the automobile battery in order to avoid
possible short circuits.
Caution: Use care when removing interior trim panels. Car manu-
facturers use a variety of fastening devices that can be damaged in the
disassembly process.
MECHANICAL INSTALLATION
Choosing a Location
For ease of installation use original factory speaker locations. Using these
positions will save considerable installation time and provide the best optical
integration. Avoid installing speakers behind thick stock fabric or cloth. This
could - especially in the case of tweeters - restrict output and reduce sound
volume.

to NCS

/700
Installation too close to reflective surfaces can negatively affect stereo imaging.
The distance between each mid/woofer and tweeter pair should not exceed 60
cm. We suggest first mounting the mid/woofer and attaching the cables. Then
you can determine the optimum tweeter location by auditioning the tweeters at
several positions in your automobile before permanent installation.
Installation of Mid/Woofer
If it is not possible to install the loudspeaker in the original factory speaker
location, the most used position is the door panel.

After choosing a location, carefully remove the trim panels. Be sure
that sufficient mounting depth is available and that no moveable
mechanical parts (window, window regulator handle) are restricted
in their functionality.
