Mounting the Stereo in a New Location
NOTICE
Be careful when cutting the hole to mount the stereo. There is only a small amount of clearance between the
case and the mounting holes, and cutting the hole too large could compromise the stability of the stereo after it
is mounted.
Before you can mount the stereo in a new location on the mounting surface, you must select a location in
accordance with the mounting considerations.
1 Trim the template and make sure it fits at the mounting location.
2 Adhere the template to the mounting surface.
3 Using a drill bit appropriate for the mounting surface, drill a hole inside the corner of the dashed line on the
template to prepare the mounting surface for cutting.
4 Using a rotary-cutting tool, cut the mounting surface along the inside of the dashed line on the template.
5 Place the stereo in the cutout to test the fit.
6 If necessary, use a file and sandpaper to refine the size of the cutout.
7 After the stereo fits correctly in the cutout, ensure the mounting holes on the stereo line up with the pilot
holes on the template.
8 If the mounting holes on the stereo do not line up, mark the new pilot-hole locations.
9 Using an appropriately sized drill bit for the mounting surface and screw type, drill the pilot holes.
10 Remove the template from the mounting surface.
11 Make the necessary wiring connections (
Connection Considerations, page 4
).
12 Place the mounting gasket on the back of the stereo .
