Page 7: Installing Speakers In Factory Cutouts
Installing Speakers in Factory Cutouts 1. Make sure the mounting surface provides a complete air seal between the front and the back of the speaker. If the surface is uneven, or if air can leak directly from the back of the speaker to the front, seal the air leaks with silicon sealant or weather stripping. - Page 8 RX47 Notice The RX47 is supplied with the grille adapter ring attached to the metal basket of the speaker. For many factory cutouts, this adapter ring will have to be removed for installation. 1. Hold the speaker between both of your palms with the speaker cone facing you. Hook your fingers behind the magnet assembly.
- Page 9 RX87 and RX97 Installation Option The RX87 and RX97 can also be installed from underneath the rear deck to reduce the installed height of the tweeter module. A spacer is sup- plied with these speakers to protect the rubber surround. The spacer is installed between the speaker and the mounting surface as shown in the diagram.

Installing Speakers In Nonstandard Locations Check the clearance of both speaker locations. Your vehicle may not be symmetrical. (There may be multiple window controls on the driver’s side, for example.) If installing in the doors, remove the interior panel. Avoid possible speaker contact with door frames, handles and window tracks. - Page 11 1. Trace the template onto the mounting panel. Mark the pilot hole, the edges of the large cutout and the locations of the screws. 2. Make sure that the mounting surface provides a complete air seal between the front and the back of the speaker. If the surface is uneven, or if air can leak directly from the back of the speaker to the front, seal the air leaks with silicon sealant or weather stripping.

Page 14: Professional Tips
Professional Tips Some installers construct mounting surfaces from MDF. This dense • material dampens resonances and provides a rigid mounting surface. In cases where the speaker is being mounted on the surface of the • interior door panel and there is a gap between the panel and the metal of the door, an appropriate thickness of MDF can be used as a spacer. -
Page 15: Adding Subwoofers And Electronic Crossovers
