INSTALLATION

  1. Remove the factory speaker enclosures using a T40 TORX socket to extract the (3) screws securing each speaker enclosure. Disconnect the factory connector and remove the speaker enclosure. If your vehicle did not come with a  factory speaker you will need to remove (1) T40 TORX screw on both driver and passenger side of the vehicle. The screw secures the vehicle factory plastic side panel to a bracket welded to the chassis tube. (Picture 1)
  2. Start by assembling D, DD, and DDD brackets to driver’s side kick pod using (2) M6 Washer and (2) M6 Screw per bracket. Bracket DD will need to remain loosely hand tightened during this step. Fully tighten bracket D and DDD.  Repeat for passenger side kick pod. (Picture 2)
  3. Installing the passenger kick pod will require the temporary removal of the factory glovebox. Open the glovebox door and release the tabs that are located at the back of the compartment. Lift and remove the glovebox. (Picture 3)
  4. Place the Passenger kick pod into the vehicle pushing it as far forward as possible. This will allow you to angle in the rear of the kick pod so that bracket “P” is able to rest in between the factory metal bracket and plastic side panel. (Picture 4)
  5. Once the bracket is resting between both surfaces tilt the front of the kick pod into position. 5. Next tighten the brackets to the vehicle using (3) M6 Thread Rolling Screws and (3) M6 washers. (Picture 5)
  6. Re-Install Glovebox.
  7. Before installing the driver’s side kick pod, start by tilting the steering wheel to its highest position.
  8.  Repeat steps 1-5 to install the driver’s side kick speaker pod.
  9. Install the speakers using the speaker wires included, use the same line to connect the tweeter and make sure to use a bass blocker filter to it, if you are using RGB led speakers connect the LED to the supplied wiring harness.
  10. Secure the speakers using stainless steel screws and tighten it, be careful not to over-tighten or the hole may be damaged and not properly secure the speakers.
  11. This kit can use the factory amplifier or an aftermarket amp pre-installed with the speaker wires in this location, only after this step can you install the speakers using the aftermarket amp’s speaker wire and RGB LED wires (optional) of the LED module (LED -BTC not included).
    This concludes the installation of the SLG-FKP6 and it is ready to enjoy your new sound system upgrade!
