Cautions must be observed when mounting speakers through the package tray of a car, watch for wiring har-
nesses, trunk springs, hinges, and folding seat mechanisms. When running the wires be careful not to damage
them with seat bolts or door sill screws.
If custom door mounting locations are desired for your drivers, be careful to avoid interference from window
and door lock mechanisms. The first step is to find a location on the door panel that will accept the size of speaker
chosen. Then remove the door panel from the door, and check for the operation of the window all the way up and
down. If metal must be cut to mount the speakers, try to avoid structural metal and braces. On models with grills
included, mount as indicated in the diagram on the bottom of the page. Figure 1.
If factory door speaker wiring is not available to connect your speakers to, it is necessary to run wire through the
door jamb. This wire should be kept away from sharp edges and the possibility of getting pinched. An existing boot
in the door jamb is the ideal place to run the wires, but sometimes this does not exist or is inaccessible. Drilling
holes to run wires through is very tricky, and caution must be exercised not to drill into other wiring or mecha-
nisms. Any time a wire is run through a bare hole, it is necessary to insert a rubber or plastic grommet first to pro-
tect the wire. See Figure 2.
