REAR DECK MOUNTING
Use caution when mounting speakers through the rear deck of a vehicle. Take note of wiring, trunk
springs, hinges and folding seats that may interfere with the operation of the car or sound system.
When running the speaker wires, be careful not to damage them with seat bolts or door screws.
DOOR MOUNTING
Most car doors have speaker grills that match the car’s interior. Removal of integrated grills to re-
place the original speaker may be difficult. Often this requires the removal of door handles, window
mechanisms and other intricate parts. If your vehicle uses this type of integrated grill, you may want
to consult with your local PowerBass dealer before proceeding.
Many grills are fastened by either screws or hidden spring clips. If you can see screws are securing
the grill, remove them storing the screws in a safe spot to reuse. Remove the grill and make sure the
factory holes match up to your new PowerBass speaker.
To remove a grill fastened with spring clips, we recommend investing in a special spring clip removal
tool available at most automotive supply stores. Follow the directions supplied with the tool and
gently pry up the grill.
Should you decide to install your PowerBass speakers in locations other than those provided by the
automaker, make certain that the location you choose is clear of all obstructions in front of and behind
the panel. If it is necessary to cut any metal, take care to insure you do not weaken the vehicles
structural integrity. Use the mounting template supplied with your speakers and pay close attention
to the mounting depth listed on the diagram.
