If it will be necessary to cut steel, reinstall the cosmetic panel in place and use the hole you have previously
cut as a template. This will help you ensure proper cutting and a good fit. Now, mark the locations for the
speakers mounting screws, remove the panel and drill the screw holes. When finished, you may replace the
panel.
After cutting and drilling all holes, inspect the mounting areas for any metal burrs or rough edges. File any
area that may interfere with the mounting of the speaker.
Clean any metal shavings from the mounting area and check for areas in which water may enter the speaker
cavity. Treat the area for water protection when necessary.
Securing the speakers
Position the speaker into the mounting hole and re-confirm the correct mounting location and hole placement.
Screw clips are provided to ensure a snug fit. These should be placed over the metal surface and line up the
hole you have previously drilled with the screw clip. Place the speaker into the hole, align the holes and
proceed to insert the screws. Be sure to tighten the screws evenly so that they will not warp the speaker
frame.
