stereo components can require exten-
sive experience in performing a variety
of mechanical and electrical procedures.
Although these instructions explain in a
general sense how to install GT Series

exact installation methods for your par-
ticular vehicle. If you feel you lack the
necessary tools or experience, ask your

Installation Warnings and Tips
• Always wear protective eyewear
when using tools.
• Turn off all audio systems and other
electrical devices before you start.
Disconnect the (–) negative lead from
your vehicle’s battery.
• Keep speakers in their package(s) until
final installation. When moving a speaker,
always rest it with the cone or dome
facing up. Never use force to install any
speaker.
• Check clearances on both sides of a
planned mounting surface before drilling
any holes or installing any screws.
Remember that the screws can extend
behind the surface.
• At the installation sites, locate and make
a note of all fuel lines, hydraulic brake
lines, vacuum lines and electrical wiring.
Use extreme caution when cutting or
drilling in and around these areas.

Caution: In some cars, fuel tanks may
be located directly beneath the rear
deck. Check for adequate speaker-basket
clearance before considering this
location!
• Before drilling or cutting holes, use a
utility knife to remove unwanted fabric
or vinyl to keep material from snagging
in a drill bit or saw.
• For door installations, check the
clearance with the windows in both
closed and open positions and verify
that a mounted speaker will not interfere
with the window crank or with the
power-window mechanism.
• If mounting speakers elsewhere, check
for clearance around rear-deck torsion
bars, glove box or other structural
elements.
• Do not mount speakers where they
will get wet.
