Install guide

Make sure the speakers don’t foul the window mechanism, test this by winding the window up and
down whilst the speakers are held in place. Once you are happy with the MDF rings, mark out all the
mounting points for the speaker onto it. Now peel away the door lining, place the ring in place on the
door and line it up, marking out the points where the door panel connects to the door behind the
speaker grille. Secondly, feel around inside the door and locate at least two areas on the lower part of
the ring where you can mount it to the door and the same in at least two places on the upper part of
the ring. This is not easy, as there is a lot of stuff mounted inside the door. Mark out these points out
on the ring and move it to a workbench. First of all, you will need to drill holes for the mounting
points in order to mount it to the door. Once you have this done, line the ring up again and scribe the
mounting points onto the door, put the ring to one side and drill the mounting holes in the door. Now
fold back the door lining and mount the ring using some quite long self-tapping screws. Mount the
speaker into the ring in order to do this, screw through the speaker mounting holes and the holes you
recently drilled in the MDF rings untill you hit the metal of the inner door skin, then just screw
everything tight. Don't forget to connect up your speaker cables and make sure the whole assembly
lines up properly by temporarily placing the door card over the mounted speaker ring. Make sure the
MDF doesn’t rub against any part of the door panel or it will creak when it’s all refitted properly. Once
installed it should look something like this:
Finally, you will need to fit the crossover units. The best place for these is on the door, mounted just
behind the gap that sits between the grab handle and the door pocket on the door panel. You can see
exactly where I mounted my crossover units on the picture above (it's the red box with the blue
cables connected to it).
Mount this on the same way as you mounted the speaker rings, by drilling small holes and using self
tapping screws. Finally, you should replace the speaker cables with something more substantial.
There are no crossover units fitted as standard, so just trace the two sets of speaker cables back
inside the door towards the point where the cable run enters the inner door cavity. Cut one of the two
cable pairs back and tape it up using electrical tape. Cut the other cable pair back, but leave enough
cable exposed to allow you to connect up some decent cable to it. There is no point running quality
