6- x 9-Inch 2 Way Flush-Mount Speaker System

CHOOSING A LOCATION

For the best performance, install these

speakers on a solid, firm surface that

does not vibrate at high volume levels.

We recommend you mount the speak-

ers in the door panels or the rear

deck.

Note: Cardboard or fiber panels are

not good mounting surfaces.

As you are deciding on a location,

carefully inspect the area behind the

proposed mounting surface.

• There must be a clear unob-

structed area of at least 3 inches

(76.2 mm) behind the panel.

• If it is a door location, check to be

sure the window, window mecha-

nism, and window handle will

clear the speaker.

Note: Make sure the window

opens and closes properly.

INSTALLING THE 

SPEAKERS

1. Use the supplied template to mark

the speaker opening and the

mounting-screw hole locations.

2. Cut out the marked speaker open-

ing in the mounting surface.

Note: Steel door panels and the

rear deck (behind the upholstery)

might already have large cut-out

areas for recessing the speaker.

3. Drill the four mounting-screw

holes.

Caution: Be careful not to drill

into anything behind the mounting

surface.

4. If necessary, route new speaker

wire from the autosound system to

the mounting area.

Cautions:

• Avoid routing speaker wires

near moving parts, sharp

edges, or where they will be

pinched or stepped on. You can

usually route them along the

channel beneath the vehicle’s

door facings.
