Before you Begin
•Please review and familiarize yourself completely with these instructions before
starting work on your vehicle!
•Install all your speakers before you audition the Stage One. Installing one
speaker and then listening to the system to “see if it sounds better” is like
putting one high performance shock on your car and taking it for a test drive.
Feel free to test to make sure the connections were properly made after
installing each speaker, but beyond that, keep the process moving along and
audition it once all speakers have been installed.
•Ensure that your bass and treble settings are set to their default middle
positions before installing your new speaker upgrade. Once you’ve installed
your Stage One, you can reset the bass and treble settings to taste. Keep in
mind that we generally recommend keeping them both very close to center as
large adjustments introduce distortion into the audio signal and will lower
performance of your system.
•Perform the installation one door at a time. Since there are many small parts
that you’ll remove when completing the project, limiting the work you’re doing
to one door will prevent you from confusing which parts go with what door.
•Installation is essentially the reverse of the removal process outlined below.
•Variations occasionally occur, so if anything seems out of line with what is
contained in the pages that follow, don’t hesitate to contact us.
