Selecting the Speaker Location
1. This is a good speaker location , but to
use it, you’ll have to enlarge the existing
hole
2. Check for free window crank movement
3. Check for possible braces behind selected
area with window down
and
up
4. This is a poor location for a speaker installation;
it is too low and behind driver’s hearing area
Speaker Mounting
Let’s assume you didn’t find a suitable opening, but you want to
install the speakers in the doors. This usually means you will have
to cut a speaker opening in the sub-metal (or at least enlarge an
existing opening). Cutting metal is not for the timid or unqualified
installer. If in doubt, proceed to your nearest garage or stereo in-
stallation center and let the “pros” do it for you.
If you intend to tackle the job yourself, break out your best metal-
cutting tools (no torches please); use nibblers, saws or heavy snips.
You’ll need a file too. Prepare the opening as follows:

1. Using the template provided (we’ll assume you’ve already
made all the necessary checks and you’ve not going to cut
through the door release mechanism), mark the speaker open-
ing on the door panel. Now carefully cut the opening and
drill the required holes.
NOTE: Whether you’re using an existing hole, or have just
cut or modified an existing opening as described
above, you are now ready for speaker installation.
2. Place the speaker into the opening and check for proper
fit. Remove the speaker and replace the paper door liner
previously removed.
Cutting Door Padding
1. Use a sharp knife to cut through padding
to expose speaker hole
2. Replace door panel and paper liner
