every speaker and amplifier connection . The supplied speaker wire has a white

The woofer uses an angled locking screw connection integrated to the basket of
the speaker . The tweeter wires are terminated with molded connectors (male and
female) . Use the supplied wire with insulated connectors to extend the tweeter
wires to the crossover section . Alternatively you may solder the tweeter wire
connections and insulate them with high quality heat shrink tubing .
speaKer installation
Woofer installation
The woofer will fit into many standard factory mounting locations using the
existing mounting holes in the automobile . remove the trim panels and inspect
the installation locations before you cut and drill the holes required to mount the
woofer . removing the panel will also make it much easier to route wiring inside
the door . Look for original equipment speaker installation cutouts that can be used
to install the woofers with little or no modifications . Use the supplied template to
help you locate and mark the holes needed to install the speakers .
If the planned installation location is in a door panel, be sure the speaker will not
interfere with the window lowering mechanism . Ensure that the speaker wires are
positioned to clear all moving parts inside the door .
For each woofer you will need to cut one large hole and drill small holes around
the circumference . If the mounting surface is covered by carpet or fabric, use a
knife or razor to cut the material away from the holes to be cut . This prevents
material or fibers from becoming tangled in the drill bit or cutting blade . If you
are using the packaged metal screws provided in the hardware kit, drill the four
speaker mounting screw holes with a 1/8"(3 mm) drill .
Clean the work areas of all filings and shavings with a vacuum cleaner before you
proceed with woofer mounting .
Woofer mounting
route the speaker wire from the woofer installation locations to the crossovers .
Pull the wire through the installation hole and attach the terminals on the ends
to terminals connections on the speakers . refer to the speaker wiring section of
this manual and the wiring diagrams . Push the wire back into the area behind
the installation location and be sure it will not interfere with the speaker or get
snagged by any mechanisms in the area .
Attach the supplied foam gasket strip to the mounting surface of the speaker .
This will ensure an air tight seal, which is required to achieve the best bass
performance .
