Choosing A Location - AudioBahn ABC4002Q Operating Instructions Manual

Choosing A Location

It is always best to plan the complete installation prior to attempting to install any product. The routing of wires,
power connections and mounting locations should be planned first. As with any car stereo installation, and all
work performed should be checked thoroughly and carefully prior to the operation of the system.
The placement of your Audiobahn speakers within your vehicle will greatly affect the overall performance of
your audio system. Every vehicle is different, so installation into particular locations of the vehicle may not be
possible without modifications. Factory provided locations are generally preferable due to ease of installation. In
all cases speakers should be placed in a location free of obstruction by body panels, window cranks, storage
compartments or anything that may hinder the speakers performance. Avoid areas that do not provide a flat,
sturdy mounting surface.
Audiobahn AS series speakers are designed to fit into almost any factory location. Again, if at all possible it is
recommended that you use a factory location. This applies mostly to later model vehicles. For those earlier
models that do not have factory locations or are limited to front locations, it is recommended that you choose an
are with sufficient airspace.
If you allow an insufficient amount of airspace, the speaker may not reproduce low frequencies very well. It is
recommended to mount the speakers in door panels, kick panels, rear decks, etc. Ideally the speaker should be
mounted where it will be in a n enclosed airspace allowing for extended bass response.
