Installing speakers in cars is a simple process, however, all cars have their own unique type of car speaker installation. Speaker installations can often be done in one hour or less. It depends on the vehicle on how intricate the installation will be. Also depending on the vehicle is where the speakers can be installed, whether on the dash, rear deck, or doors.
Safety should also be considered when in comes to installing speakers. Damage, injuries, and added costs can be caused if speakers are not installed properly. What should be used as a necessity is protection for hearing/vision.
Here are some fundamental steps that should be considered when you install speakers. But keep in mind that extra steps may be required for some vehicles. Methods should be comparable even though the speaker's location in your vehicle may vary from mounting locations.
Ascertain if the vehicle has speaker grilles that are removable if you are to install on the dash or door. Once you're certain that the grilles are removable, then take the grilles off using appropriate tools, remove screws that holds the speakers together, disconnect then connect speaker harness to the new speaker, plug the harness of the speaker, connect it to the new speaker's harness, set the speaker in the opening and reinstall it then replace the grille. Consider the depth of the speaker if you're planning to install it in the door and make sure the depth won't interfere with window operation.
If the grilles are not removable, then it's possible that you need to remove the dash pads or door panel. Keep a close eye on any screw or clip that is removed. Follow the steps that was shown above except this time you also need to reinstall the door panel/dash pads. When removing door panels, pay close attention to the screws that can be mounted in the armrest of at the inside of the door latch and maybe even behind trim panels. Once you've removed the screws, you can disconnect any wiring harnesses by raising up the panel.
Determine if the speakers are top-mounted or bottom mounted if you're installing rear deck speakers because this will help you determine your steps. Remove grilles and screws, disconnect and connect the speaker harness to the new speaker, plug in the harness, mount the speaker and replace the grille if these are top-mounted screws. If these are bottom mounted speakers, remove the screw mounting the speaker by reaching in the trunk. Then you can continue on following the basic steps above.
You're going to have to turn on the radio and check the new speakers' operation.
