Resumen del manual
You normally have only to cut away thin plastic or fiber panels that conceal the openings. Openings near the floor should be avoided if at all possible. Be Innovative -If you’re mechanically inclined, remove door panels, dash, side panels, etc., and really get into the basic construction of the car. You’ll be amazed at the vast amount of good-toexcellent speaker locations a car can conceal. If You Don’t Wish to Cut Holes - Consider the hang-on or surface- mount type of speakers. Just pick a reasonably flat panel, drill a few holes, fasten a few screws, and you’re listening to stereo. INSTALLING ROUND SPEAKERS IN DOORS OR FLAT SURFACES Most cars are factory-equipped with round speaker openings in door panels, kick panels and occasionally, rear deck panels. If you decided on a door location for mounting speakers, the following procedure should be followed: 1. Examine the door panel thoroughly. Observe movement of window crank (no power windows), door latches, etc. Obviously, you don’t want to install a speaker where the arc of a moving window crank (or electric window frame) would interfere with the speaker grille. Avoid all areas that might cause interference with the normal functions of the door assembly. CAUTION: By removing the door upholstery panel, you may find several alternate locations higher up on the door. Watch out for window mechanisms; even professional installers have mounted a speaker and then found out it interfered with some moving part. 2. It is highly recommended that the padded door panel be removed. This can be accomplished by removing the window crank (usually held by a screw or “C” clip found behind the crank), unless the car is equipped with power windows. -4 128-6825 4 of 10 If necessary, remove the door opening handle any accessory. Unless screws are holding the door panel to the door frame, which is very rare, you will find that most door panels are secured by spring clips. 3. Using a broad flat tool between door and door panel, unfasten spring clips. If a few clips are bent when removing them, a pair of pliers will easily re-form them. Once all clips are unfastened, lift off door panel. NOTE:On cars equipped with power windows, seats, etc., it may be necessary to free the power switch plate, usually mounted to the driver’s side arm rest, in order to fully separate the door panel from the frame. Removing the Door Panel 1. This opening would have to be enlarged per dotted line 2. Possible speaker opening 3. Remove paper liner 4. Padded door panel 5. Window crank 6. Door latch 7. Screws 8. Clip pins Selecting Speaker Location After removing the door panel, you are ready to select a location for the speaker. Make this selection as follows: 1. When the steel sub-door panel is exposed, you may find the panel completely or partially covered by brown or black paper secured with a sticky-black, tar-like adhesive. Do not tear this paper off. It is there to insulate the door, to trap moisture, and to reduce wind noise. 2. Carefully unpeel the paper. (Do not do this if speaker openings are exposed.) You should now be able to see all the varied size openings available in the sub-steel door. The reason for exposing all the existing holes is to avoid cutting metal unless it is absolutely necessary. 3. Now determine which existing holes will accommodate your speakers. Temporarily install the window crank; place the speaker into the opening and, while holding the speaker in place, fully raise and lower the window. Check that no moving part touches the speaker while opening or closing the window. Then open and close the door and inspect for speaker interference. 4. If you are satisfied with the selected location, you can begin the installation process. But first, visually check the padded door panel to verify that nothing on it will interfere with installing the speaker grille (an armrest, for example). 5. If the selected location is acceptable, proceed to Speaker Mounting, step 2; if the location needs to be changed, continue with Speaker Mounting, step 1. -5 128-6825 5 of 10 1. Using the template provided (we’ll assume you’ve already made all the necessary checks and you’ve not going to cut through the door release mechanism), mark the speaker opening on the door panel. Now carefully cut the opening and drill the required holes. NOTE: Whether you’re using an existing hole, or have just cut or modified an existing opening as described above, you are now ready for speaker installation. 2. Place the speaker into the opening and check for proper fit. Remove the speaker and replace the paper door liner previously removed. Selecting the Speaker Location 1. This is a good speaker location , but to use it, you’ll have to enlarge the existing hole 2. Check for free window crank movement 3. Check for possible braces behind selected area with window down andup 4. This is a poor location for a speaker installation; it is too low and behind driver’s hearing area Speaker Mounting Let’s assume you didn’t find a...
