Remove the existing kick panels by removing any screws or press clips holding the panels
in place. It may be necessary to remove the rubber door seal first to remove the kick panels.
Route the speaker wires before installing your speakers. Always avoid sharp edges that
could fray or cut the wiring and use rubber grommets to protect the speaker wires that need
to be routed through metal. For the best quality connection and to minimize signal loss,
always use high-quality connectors. Never run wires outside the vehicle.
Mount the new kick panels using the fasteners from the factory kick panels. You may need
to drill new mounting holes in the kick panels before mounting.
INSTALLATION

Precautions
It is best to consult a professional installation specialist to help with your installation.
Important Installation Guidelines:
• Carefully read and understand the instructions before attempting installation.
• Always disconnect the negative (-) battery terminal before beginning any work.
Failure to do so may result in damage to the unit, fire, injury, or death.
• Use high-quality connectors to prevent fire or damage to the unit.
• Carefully check the installation area before drilling to ensure you won’t drill into the
gas tank, fuel lines, brake lines, hydraulic lines, vacuum lines, or electrical wiring.
• Never run the speaker wires underneath the vehicle.
• Avoid running speaker wires over sharp edges and use rubber grommets to protect
wires when routed through metal panels.

(Optional) Cut Speaker Holes
If you are using larger speakers, you will
need to enlarge the speaker opening in
the kick panels. Use a speaker grill ring as
a template to mark the size of the space
required and the locations for the speaker’s
mounting screws. Use a razor knife or
Dremel tool to carefully enlarge the opening
and a 1/8-inch drill bit to drill the mounting
holes.
