• These PowerBass Xtreme speakers can be used above or below the mounting hole. Typically, your vehicle factory’s speaker cutouts will accommodate these new speakers without any modifications. When the speaker has been correctly installed, there should be no air leaks between the front and back of the speaker. - Page 8 Custom Installation Should you decide to install your PowerBass speakers in locations other then those provided by the automaker, make certain that the location you choose is clear of all obstructions in front of and be- hind the panel. If it is necessary to cut any metal, take care to insure you do not weaken the vehicles structural integrity.
