FACTORY KICKPANEL REMOVAL:

DRIVER and PASSENGER Side:

Remove the factory kickpanel by prying up on the threshold panel releasing snap clips.

Rotate upwards and pull the panel away from the metal bulkhead.

Note:

Always check the fit of the Q-Forms panel in the vehicle BEFORE any cutting or modifications are done!

SPEAKER INSTALLATION:

Cut the speaker holes in the Q-Forms before installing the panels in the vehicle. Using a hole saw of the correct size, position the pilot drill on the dimple

at the center of the speaker mounting surface. Be careful as the hole saw exits the rear of the panel. Install speaker wiring and crossover network as per

manufacturer’s instructions. Install tweeters as per manufacturer’s instructions. Install midrange drivers after Q-Forms panels have been installed in the vehicle.

FACTORY KICKPANEL MODIFICATION:

You will need to cut the threshold portion of the factory kickpanel off and save for reinstallation into the car later. With the factory kickpanels on a

workbench measure from back edge of threshold panel (36.5” on two door models/23" on four door models)and make a mark. Using a square draw a straight line

across the threshold panel. Cut the panel into at the line you just made. Clean and straighten the edge with a file. It may be helpful to use some 400 grit sandpaper

or a plastic deburring tool to give the cut edge a nice finished look. Repeat process on both factory kickpanels.

FACTORY MOLEX PLUG RELOCATION:

Relocate the factory molex plugs on the driver’s and the passenger’s side of the car. Pull back the rubber insulator material that is adhered to the metal

bulkhead and push the molex plugs into the hole in the metal bulkhead and re-apply the rubber insulator.

Q-FORMS KICKPANEL INSTALLATION:

DRIVER’S Side:

Lay the Q-Forms kick panel into place in the approximate location and connect the speaker wiring. Install the kick panel into the permanent position

previously held by the original kick panel. Be sure that the front edge of the panel fits tightly against the rubber door seal. Make sure that the plastic around the

hood release lever fits between the metal bulkhead and the hood release bracket to allow the Q-forms panel to slide as far back as possible and fit tightly against the

carpet. Using the predrilled hole in the panel behind the hood release lever as a guide, pre-drill a 1/8” hole into the metal behind the panel. Be carefull when drilling

to avoid wiring behind panel. Secure the panel into the car by installing the supplied #8x1/2” panhead sheetmetal screw behind the hood release lever. Re-install

the factory threshold panel that was cut from the factory kickpanel along the bottom of the door opening. Slide the threshold panel tightly against the bottom edge of

the Q-forms panel and snap into place. Lay the supplied polyfill in and around the opening for the midrange driver. Install the midrange driver as per manufacturer’s

instructions. Be sure to center the driver in the opening to allow clearance for the speaker grill.

PASSENGER’S Side:

Lay the Q-Forms kick panel into place in the approximate location and connect the speaker wiring. Install the kick panel into the permanent position

previously held by the original kick panel. Be sure that the front edge of the panel fits tightly against the rubber door seal. Make sure that Q-forms panel is as far

back as possible and fits tightly against the carpet. Using the predrilled hole in the top edge of the panel as a guide, pre-drill a 1/8” hole in the metal behind the

panel. Be carefull when drilling to avoid wiring behind panel. Secure the panel into the car using the supplied 2” panhead sheetmetal screw and the 1.5” nylon

spacer. Place the spacer behind the panel and install the screw through the panel, the spacer, and into the metal bulkhead. Re-install the factory threshold panel

that was cut from the factory kickpanel along the bottom of the door opening. Slide the threshold panel

tightly against the bottom edge of the Q-forms panel and snap into place. Lay the supplied polyfill in and

around the opening for the midrange driver. Install the midrange driver as per manufacturer’s instructions.

around the edge of the grill, trim excess U-channel if needed and press grill into the grill opening in the
