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 . Placing the speaker in the factory location
can often give very desirable results .

When checking for possible speaker locations in the doors, check the
operation of the window and all of the doors assemblies . There is also a
stabilizer stop bar in between the door and the door jamb . This bar prevents
the door from opening too far . Pay particular attention to this so you do not
damage the speaker when you close the door .
