FINDING SPEAKER MOUNTING LOCATIONS
Choosing the correct speaker locations will have the greatest effect on the
sound quality of the system . Different considerations are needed when choosing
the locations that best suit your needs . The locations must be large enough for
the speakers to fit . Care is needed to ensure that the location you have chosen
will not affect any of the mechanical or electrical operations of the vehicle .
Determining the best location for the speakers will depend on your cosmetic needs
and your vehicle's interior . If minimal intrusion in your vehicle is desired, factory
speaker locations may be the ticket for you . These woofers are too large to fit most
factory locations and typically need enclosures to perform correctly .
