MOUNTING THE KICK PANEL SPEAKERS 

Through hundreds of installations, we’ve found once mounting holes are drilled, it’s best to start with the 

driver’s side kick panel and then move on to the passenger’s side kick panel to complete the mounting and 

wiring of the kick panels. This way you only need the drill out once, then completely finish the left before 

moving on to the right. The subwoofer should already be mounted at this stage and both kick panel wires 

run to their respective general areas. 

STEP 1 – MARK HOLES USING SUPPLIED TEMPLATE

Use a few small lengths of painter’s tape in the kick panel area to 

easily see marks left by a felt-tipped pen or pencil. Place the clear 

plastic template on driver’s side as shown in Figure 14-1 and mark 

the mounting holes to drill. Repeat on the passenger side. 

 

STEP 2 – DRILL HOLES

Drill (2) 1/2 inch mounting holes into the fender where you 

marked the tape shown in Figure 14-2. A 1/2 inch step drill bit is 

recommended for this step. Repeat this process and drill two more 

1/2 inch mounting holes on the passenger’s side kick panel area. 

Remove any tape in the drilling area from the interior kick panels. 

STEP 3 - PLACE DRIVER’S SIDE KICK PANEL

Place driver’s side kick panel pod in its location as shown in Figure 

14-3. Ensure the positioning lines up with the holes you’ve drilled. 

STEP 4 – PUSH OUTER BOLTS THROUGH FENDER AND 

MOUNT DRIVER’S SIDE KICK PANEL

With the included hardware push (1) bolt and (1) washer through 

the driver’s side inner fender well into the threaded insert of the 

driver’s side kick panel pod. This leaves only the head of the bolt 

visible behind the tire. 

Once the first bolt and washer are threaded in, insert and thread 

the second bolt and washer for a total of two bolts/washers 

attaching the kick panel pod to the driver’s side fender well as 

shown in Figure 14-4.

NOTE

 - Wait to mount passenger side kick panel until driver’s side 

panel is completely mounted and wired. 

STEP 5 – CONNECT WIRING INTO KICK PANEL

Connect wiring from your amplifier to the wire harness from the 

kick panel as indicated. Route the wire away from moving parts or 

sources of moisture and heat.
