NOTE: Audiobahn strongly recommends that you operate your system at low
volumes prior to the completed installation of your Audiobahn speakers. This will allow a
test of the speaker before securing it to its permanent location.
Caution: Make sure that all speaker wiring is fully protected from cuts, tears
and possible wear. All short circuits developing as a result could severely damage the
source unit or possibly the amplier as well as the speakers themselves. Make sure all
speaker wires are placed easily within reach of the speaker terminal with no stress on
the wire connectors.
1. Conrm the mounting location and depth requirements by inspecting the area where
the speaker will be mounted. Most speakers will t into stock locations on the ve-
hicle. In this case only depth consideration is important.
2. If the location you have picked does require cutting, you may use the supplied tem-
plate to help your locate and mark the mounting location and cuts to be made. Be
careful when cutting out the template. If you cut the template properly, the speaker
will be a perfect t.
3. If there is a cosmetic panel where the speaker will be mounted, we recommend us-
ing a utility knife to carefully cut a hole in it. Conrm the cut by placing the speaker
in the hole. You may need to modify the hole cut as necessary.
4. If it is necessary to cut steel, reinstall the cosmetic panel in place and use the hole
you have previously cut as a template. This will help to insure proper cutting and
a good t. Mark the locations for the speaker mounting screws. Then remove the
panel and drill the screw holes. When nished you can replace the panel.
5. After cutting and drilling all holes, inspect the mounting areas for any metal burrs or
rough edges. File any area that may interfere with the mounting of the speaker.
6. Clean any metal shavings from the mounting area and check for areas in which
water may enter the speaker cavity. Treat the area for water protection when neces-
sary.
Make sure your source unit (Cassette, CD, DAT, DVD etc.) is turned off while connecting
the speaker terminals. Turn on the various components and slowly advance the volume.
Remember to check and recheck all connections to insure you have a secure tting.
