• Connect the speaker outputs from the head unit to the speakers.
• In some vehicles, it may be possible to utilize the existing speaker wiring. When doing
this, be cautious of the polarity (+/-) of the speaker wires, as these wire colors vary for
each vehicle.
Tip: Using factory wiring harness adapters for the head unit and speakers can help
eliminate wiring issues.
• In some vehicles, it may be necessary to run new speaker wire throughout the vehicle.
Observe caution when routing wires.
• Always use quality connectors that fit tightly, or solder each connection. It may be
necessary to waterproof connections made inside door panels.
• Wiring speakers out-of-phase (the polarity of one speaker is wrong) will cause the
speakers to sound poor, and have very little bass response.

Mounting
1. Determine where the speakers will
be mounted. Make sure the area
is large enough for the speaker

mounting location is deep enough for
the speaker to fit.

3. If needed, use the grille as a
template to mark the locations for
the mounting screws. Drill the holes
with a 3/32" bit.
4. Fit the speaker to the hole cut-out.
Mount the speaker using the
supplied screws. If the speaker grill
is to be used, insert 4 screws into
the grill holes and then mount the
speaker.
