69. MarK fOr threaded insert placeMent
Temporarily replace the Wheel Arch Trim Panels and Rear Sill, if
previously removed. Center the enclosure in the boot. Using a
center punch (or marker), mark the center of the mounting brack-
et hole in the sheet metal below. Keep the hole at least 3/8” away
from the edges of the raised area of the sheet metal. Cut a notch
in the carpet edge if necessary. Mark the center with a marker or
center punch.
70. install threaded inserts (part 1)
Using a 7/16” bit (NOT a ½” bit!), drill holes in the 2 positions
marked on the boot floor. Do not let the drill bit penetrate more
than ¼” through the sheet metal. You may find it helpful to use a
cut-to-length wood block as a stop for the drill. It is important to
drill the holes EXACTLY where they were marked.
Remove any metal burrs - the hole must have clean edges.
71. install threaded inserts (part 2)
Using a utility knife, carefully trim the PVC jacket out of the
center of the Self-Sealing Threaded Inserts as shown. Insert the
1” Hex Bolt through the Installation Tool. Then thread the 1” Hex
Bolt into the Threaded Insert. Be sure the “nubs” on the Instal-
lation Tool face the top of the Threaded Insert. These “nubs” are
what grip the Insert and prevent it from turning during installa-
tion.
72. install threaded inserts (part 3)
Insert the Threaded Inserts into the holes drilled in the previ-
ous step. Keep the Insert vertical and keep the head of the Insert
flush against the sheet metal and carefully tighten the bolt by
hand with a wrench (do not use a powered tool of any kind) until
you begin to feel resistance and the insert is secure. Take your
time - do not over-tighten. Remove the 1” Hex bolt. If you have
trouble with an Insert, you can remove it by partially unthreading
the 1” Hex bolt and tapping it with a hammer.
73. wiring & terMinal
Connect the subwoofer internal wiring harness to the back of the
Neutrik Speak-on connector (observing c/- polarity). Place
the Speak-on gasket over the connector, thread the wire through
the mounting hole, and mount the Speak-on connector using the
(2) #4 x 1/2” screws..
