Most modern vehicles have speakers that are
mounted directly to the structure of the door. Access
is achieved by the removal of the door panel. Some
vehicles may only require the removal of a small
panel around the speaker itself.
Most rear speakers are
accessed from within the
trunk. Some may require the
removal of the rear package
tray. Hatchbacks and SUV’s
will usually require the
removal of a side panel.
Once the factory speakers are
removed, check the t and
determine if there is enough
depth clearance for the new
speaker. A good way to do this is
to roll the window down and back
up while holding the speaker in
place. If you decide to run wires,
make sure to use factory harness
boots and grommets where ever
possible.

CAUTION
Always consider consulting a professional audio installer
before installing new speakers. Many car manufacturers locate
speakers behind interior panels that require special tools to
remove those panels to access the speakers. Some panels will
be screwed in, some will use plastic fasteners, many will have
both. Be careful and take your time.
If you are using the speaker wire supplied with your new
speakers make sure that you run the speaker wires through
the factory boot. Do not let speaker wire make contact with
metal edges of doors or other access holes.
