The placement of the speakers will vary from vehicle to vehicle. Most vehicles have factory
cut-outs on the rear window deck behind the rear seat, in the front doors, or front kick
panels. Before permanently installing the VRS653 speakers in your car, connect the wires to
the speakers according to your audio system’s installation manual, in the approximate
location you will install them. If you are satisfied with the location, proceed with the
permanent installation.
Before you install the VRS653 speakers you must make sure
you have enough depth/space behind the mounting surface.
You do not want the back of the speaker magnet to touch any
part of your vehicle, or interfere with the operation or function
of any component in your vehicle. (ie. windows or trunk lid)
What if there is no sound?
Your stereo may have a blown fuse. Replace fuse with the same amperage and style.
You may have improper wiring. Refer to the wiring guide that came with your stereo/amplifier. Check
all wires for a secure connection.
What if the sound volume is low?
Your stereo may not have enough power. You may have to install an amplifier to drive the speakers.
Why do I have a whining noise coming from the speakers?
You may have poor filtering of your alternator. If that is the case, then you may need to add an
alternator filter to the power lead.
Why do I have odd sounding noises coming from the speakers?
You may have corroded battery terminals and/or a weak battery. If the terminals on the battery are
corroded, clean them; then check the sound. If the sound system is still making noises, check battery
strength. If it is low, recharge or replace the battery.
Why does the speaker have sound coming from one channel only?
First make sure the balance control is set correctly. If the balance is set correctly, your stereo may be
defective or the speaker may be defective. To troubleshoot this problem you MUST change both
positive and negative leads of each channel with the positive and negative leads of the opposite
channel, if the same speaker has no sound, then the speaker is no good, if the opposite speaker has
no sound, then your stereo may be defective.
You should only mount your speakers in factory precut holes. We DO NOT
recommend that you cut holes for mounting the speakers. If there are no
factory precut holes, consider having the speakers professionally installed.
All auto audio components must be securely mounted. Driving styles
and road conditions such as sudden stops, sharp curves and bumpy
roads may cause unsecured items to move about the vehicle, causing
physical injuries to vehicle occupants and/or vehicle damage.
When connecting the speaker wires to your speakers in a new installation, you should follow
the wiring instructions from your audio system’s manufacturer. For most systems, maintain
proper polarity by attaching the Positive Wire (
+
) to the Positive Terminal (
+
) and the Negative
Wire (-) to the Negative Terminal (-).
