Choosing A Location
7
It is always best to plan the complete installation prior to attempting to install any product
. The routing of wires, power connections and mounting locations should be planned
rst. As with any car stereo installation, and all work performed should be checked thor-
oughly and carefully prior to the operation of the system.
The placement of your Audiobahn speakers within your vehicle will greatly affect the
overall performance of your audio system. Every vehicle is different, so installation
into particular locations of the vehicle may not be possible without modications. Fac-
tory provided locations are generally preferable due to ease of installation. In all cases
speakers should be placed in a location free of obstruction by body panels, window
cranks, storage compartments or anything that may hinder the speakers performance.
Avoid areas that do not provide a at, sturdy mounting surface.
Audiobahn AS series speakers are designed to t into almost any factory location.
Again, if at all possible it is recommended that you use a factory location. This applies
mostly to later model vehicles. For those earlier models that do not have factory loca-
tions or are limited to front locations, it is recommended that you choose an area with
sufcient airspace.
If you allow an insufcient amount of airspace, the speaker may not reproduce low
frequencies very well. It is recommended to mount the speakers in door panels, kick
panels, rear decks, etc. Ideally the speaker should be mounted where it will be in an
enclosed airspace allowing for extended bass response.
