Rear Deck Mounting - Orion C5.2 Owner's Manual

REAR DECK MOUNTING

In rear deck installations, check the operation of the trunk suspension springs
or tension bars. These tension bars move in the opening and closing of the
trunk. You cannot be too cautious during this part of the installation. In addition,
do not locate the speakers too close to the back of the rear deck. Installing the
far screws may not be possible without removing the rear window.
INSTALLING THE MIDRANGE
Step 1: Determine where the speaker will be mounted. Make sure there is a
flat area large enough for the speaker to fit properly. An uneven
mounting surface can damage the driver.
Step 2: Check to make sure the space you have chosen for the speaker will
not interfere with the operation of the vehicle.
Step 3: Using the supplied template guide, mark the hole with a pen.
Step 4: Cut the hole for the speaker. When using correct sized factory
locations, this step can be passed. A hole can be cut either with a
pair of metal tin snips, an air or jig saw, or with a hole saw
corresponding to the size of the midrange listed below.
• 4-7/8" Hole Saw (5" woofer installation)
• 5-5/8" Hole Saw (6" woofer installation)
WARNING: Window mechanisms and electrical wires have a nasty
habit of hiding where you least expect. CHECK BEFORE YOU DRILL!
Step 5: Run the speaker wire to the speakers. Make sure to keep wires away
from sharp metal or other edges. When passing through metal ,use
a protective grommet.
Step 6: Using the plastic grille ring as a template, mark the mounting holes
with a pen.
Step 7: Pre-drill mounting holes using a 1 / 8 " drill bit.
WARNING: Window mechanisms and electrical wires have a nasty
habit of hiding where you least expect. CHECK BEFORE YOU DRILL!
Step 8: Pull the wire through the speaker opening and connect to the
speaker. Be sure to observe proper midrange polarity during this
process.
