3. Drill a starter hole inside the out-
lined area. Carefully remove the
area you marked, using a razor,
tin snip, or a hacksaw blade.
4. Drill three 1 /
8
-inch mounting holes.
5. Disconnect the wires from the
speakers and route them from
your sound system through the
door sill and to the speaker’s
mounting location. You might
need to drill a hole to route the
wire through the door sill. Some
cars have predrilled holes and
rubber tubes for routing wires.
Cautions:
• Be sure you allow enough slack
in the wire to prevent pulling the
wire front he speaker when you
open the door all the way.
• Tape any exposed wire to pre-
vent the wire from being
pinched or cut when the door is
closed.
6. Replace the door panel. Then,
pull the wires through the hole you
made for the speaker and connect
the wires to the speaker’s termi-
nals. See “Wiring the Speakers.”
7. Mount the speaker as needed.
• If you mount the speaker on a
metal surface, align the mount-
ing holes on the speaker with
the three drilled holes and
secure the speaker with the
supplied screws.
• If you mount the speaker on a
non-metal surface, insert the
three supplied speed clips into
the mounting holes to ensure a
firm mount and to protect the
mounting holes. Then align the
mounting holes on the speaker
with the three drilled holes and
secure the speaker with the
supplied screws.
8. Align the speaker grille with the
speaker and press it onto the
speaker until it snaps into place.
