This manual has been designed to provide information for the owner, salesperson, and installer. For those of you who want quick information on how to install this product, please turn to the installation section of this manual. [. . . ] Factory provided locations are generally preferable due to ease of installation. In all cases speakers should be placed in a location free of obstruction by body panels, window cranks, storage compartments or anything that may hinder the speakers performance. Avoid areas that do not provide a flat, sturdy mounting surface. Audiobahn AS series speakers are designed to fit into almost any factory location. Again, if at all possible it is recommended that you use a factory location. For those earlier models that do not have factory locations or are limited to front locations, it is recommended that you choose an are with sufficient airspace. If you allow an insufficient amount of airspace, the speaker may not reproduce low frequencies very well. It is recommended to mount the speakers in door panels, kick panels, rear decks, etc. Ideally the speaker should be mounted where it will be in a n enclosed airspace allowing for extended bass response. 9 Installation Installation 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 amplifier as well as the speakers themselves. Makes sure all speaker wires are placed easily within reach of the speaker terminal with no stress on the wire or connectors. Mounting 1) Confirm the mounting location and depth requirements by inspecting the area where the speaker will be mounted. 2) If the location you have picked does require cutting, you may use the supplied template to help you locate and mark the mounting location and cuts to be made. 3) If there is a cosmetic panel where the speaker will be mounted, we recommend using a utility knife to carefully cut a hole in it. 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. 5) After cutting and drilling all holes, inspect the mounting areas for any metal burrs or rough edges. 6) Clean any metal shavings from the mounting area and check for areas in which water may enter the speaker cavity. Make sure your source unit (Cassette, CD, DAT, DVD etc. ) is turned off while connecting the speaker terminals. Remember to check and recheck all connections to insure you have a secure fitting. 10 Wiring Wiring Audiobahn recommends using at least 18-gauge wire with your new speaker system. Thinner gauge wire may easily be severed and can cause damage to your system should any bare wires come in contact with the vehicles chassis. Makes sure that your audio system is off while installing and connecting your new Audiobahn Speakers. This is not something that would be covered under the manufacturer warranty. Be sure to route the wires to the speakers with the insulated terminal ending at the speaker.
