INSTALLATION PROCEDURES

• 

Since these speakers utilize a unique low profile swivel tweeter housing that has minimal tweeter protru-
sion, original factory mounting cutouts can still be used with the factory grills in many cases.

• 

These PowerBass Xtreme speakers can be used above or below the mounting hole.  Typically, your ve-
hicle factory’s speaker cutouts will accommodate these new speakers without any modifications.  When 
the speaker has been correctly installed, there should be no air leaks between the front and back of the 
speaker.

• 

For door installations, check the clearance of the windows throughout the entire range of the window’s 
travel.

• 

Check the available mounting depth before installing the speaker.  Use care when removing factory grills, 
door panels and factory speakers.

2-WAY COMPONENT CONVERTIBLE SPEAKER SET

These component speakers can also be used coaxial speakers; making them “convertibles”.  The mid range 
speaker will fit into many standard factory mounting holes in your vehicle.  

To find the best suitable location, carefully remove the trim panels and inspect the installation area before you 
cut and drill any holes required to mount the speaker.  Removing the panel will also make it much easier to 
route wiring inside the doors.  Look for original equipment (OEM) speaker cutouts that can be used to install 
your speakers with little or no modifications.  Use the supplied template to help you locate and mark the holes 
needed to install the speakers.

If you planning to install your speakers in the door panel, be sure the speaker will not interfere with the window 
lowering mechanism.  Use care so the speaker wires will clear all moving parts inside the door.

Should you need to cut or drill in order to mount your speaker be sure to thoroughly clean the area of all filings 
and shavings before you mount the speaker.

COMPONENT SYSTEM INSTALLATION

Your speakers have been assembled at the factory as components.  This portion of the manual will cover 
component system installation.

2XL Component Midrange

The proper installation procedure for mounting these high performance midrange speakers is to secure the 
speaker to the vehicle’s speaker mounting hole.  The speaker should fit snug to the location without air gaps.  
Never force the a speaker into an area that is too small, this can cause damage to the speaker. Once the 
speaker is in place, determine if the supplied grill needs to be installed. If so, place the grill in place over the 
speaker and screw the speaker into the mounting hole.
