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