Speaker Installation Guidelines
Firstly, make sure that the speakers will fit in your chosen location. This may involve the removal of the standard vehicle speakers. Please use the mounting depth and hole cut dimensions as detailed in this manual for guidance.
- If necessary cut any material away to allow the speaker to sit correctly.
- Cut out the mounting hole and pre-drill any other fixing holes.
- Screw through both gasket and speaker until the speaker is securely fastened.
Speaker Installation
Using the template provided find a suitable mounting location for the speaker. Mark the mounting holes and pre drill the fixing hole with a 2mm drill bit. If the grill is to be fitted then place it over the speaker and screw through both the grill and the speaker using the provided screws. Be careful not to over tighten the screws as it may cause damage to the grill.
Concentric Driver Installation Guidelines
Try and take into account the following when locating a suitable position. For optimum staging try and locate a position that is higher than the woofer but ideally within twelve inches (maximum) of it. It is vital that the concentric driver is adjusted so that it is focused towards the listener.
