Step 4
: [Skip this step if using correctly sized factory loca-
tions] Cut the hole for the speaker. A hole can be cut either
with a pair of metal tin snips, an air or jig saw, or with a hole
saw corresponding to the size of the woofer listed below.

5 5/8” Hole Saw (6½” woofer installation)
WARNING: Window mechanisms and electrical wires and
other expensive car parts have a nasty habit of hiding
where you least expect. CHECK BEFORE YOU DRILL!
Step 5
: Run the speaker wire to the speakers. Make sure to
keep wires away from sharp metal or other edges. When
passing through metal, use a protective grommet.
Step 6
: Turn the speaker backwards against the surface &
mark the mounting holes with a pen.
Step 7
: Pre-drill mounting holes using a 1/8" drill bit.

Step 8
: Pull the wire through the speaker opening and con-
nect to the speaker. Be sure to observe proper midrange po-
larity during this process.
Step 9
: To mount the speaker, the speaker is placed through
the grille ring from the front. Place the speaker and the grille
ring in the installation hole. Align the mounting screw holes
and drive in the four mounting screws. Push the perforated
metal grille back into the grille ring.
SURFACE MOUNTING THE TWEETER
Step 1
: Determine the tweeter mounting location, then route
the wires from the crossover to the tweeter location.
Step 2
: Place the surface mount housing against the panel
and mark the two holes at the rear of the housing.
Step 3
: Drill the smaller center hole using a 1/8" drill bit. This
is the mounting screw hole.
Step 4
: Drill the larger off-center hole using a 3/8" drill bit, in-
sert a grommet and route the speaker wire from the cross-
over through the grommet.
Step 5
: After removing the surface mount tweeter assembly
trim ring, route the tweeter wires through the larger hole in
the housing and connect to the speaker wires from the
crossover.
Step 6
: Insert the excess speaker wire into the hole and posi-
tion the housing so the housing will not pinch the wires after
final mounting.
Step 7
: Attach the housing using the supplied screws of the
correct length for a solid mount.
Step 8
: Insert the tweeter into the housing and attach the trim
ring.
