Selecting the placement of your new Octane-R Coaxial speakers could be as easy as using the
existing factory locations or may require you to create a new location. Speaker placement in the
door, dash, or rear deck is the most common.See your local Phoenix Gold Dealer for additional
location and mounting assistance.

1.Many vehicles already have factory locations (Figure 1.) to house the "DROP IN" feature of the
Octane-R Coaxial line. If no existing locations are available or are not used (Figure 2.),check the
desired location for adequate cutout area and any depth obstructions.Make sure to allow sufficient
clearance for window tracks,structural braces,trunk lid springs,etc.
2.Assuming enough area and depth is available,use the provided template and trace the speaker
cutout and mounting holes onto the surface of the mounting location.
3.If the mounting surface is not structurally strong enough to accommodate screws, (i.e.plastic,
cardboard) use the provided speed clips which will act as a nut for the supplied screws.
4.Always provide water protection if not supplied in the vehicle. We suggest using a rain shield or
equivalent.If in doubt,please contact your Phoenix Gold Dealer.

modification. Use extreme caution when removing the factory grills.

The 15mm fixed tweeters that are angled to allow the user to rotate the speakers during installa-
tion for optimum listening.When mounted low in the door, angle the tweeter up for better off axis
performance.In rear deck or dashboard installations,angle the tweeter away from the rear glass to
reduce reflections.
