Installation Precautions
Bassworx recommends professional installation of all it’s products. Should you choose to install this product
yourself, please read this manual carefully and refer to the instructions detailed below. Failure to do so may
result in poor product performance, premature or immediate malfunction, and potential damage to your
vehicle or it’s contents.
Installation
• Always wear protective eyewear when using tools.
• Check for clearance in each mounting location before drilling any holes or installing any
screws.
• In some vehicles,verify that the speaker will not interfere in any wires, control cables,fuel lines
or any other factory components.
• For door installation, check for clearance of window crank lever and make sure the speaker
magnet does not hit the window or its mechanism.
• Use a utility knife to remove the excess vinyl, carpet or particleboard before using any
electrical tools to cut out the holes.
• Do not mount speakers where they can get wet.
• Start by unpacking the speakers,and laying out the various components.At this point,discard what won’t be used for
your specific application. For example, the grills will not be used when your vehicle contains factory provisions that
conceal the speaker system.
• Depending on whether you have selected to change the front and/or rear speakers,this will determine the next steps
of your installation.Front speaker will typically be found in the doors,dashboard,or kick panel locations.Rear speakers
are normally found in either the doors,side panels,or rear parcel shelf locations.
•You want to ensure that the correct replacement size has been purchased,in order to maintain the original condition
of the vehicle. Choosing a speaker which is larger in size from the original equipment may require customization in
order for a proper installation.
• Next step in the process is removing the factory grills or panels that conceal the speakers.Be careful when removing
any panels,as the clips they use to hold them in place can be quite fragile.Proper tools are necessary to ensure damage
does not result.
• Remove the speakers and set the screws aside. In some instances, these screws are custom machined and should be
reused for your new speakers.Disconnect the wires and/or plugs from these speakers.
• Prior to installing your speakers, it is important to ensure that all obstructions are noted.Window mechanisms and
truck lid bars are typically near or behind the speaker locations.You want to make sure these functions will continue to
operate without obstruction from the speakers.This would result from larger magnet structures or deeper speaker than
what is provided by the factory.
