installation

It is always best to plan the complete installation prior to attempting to install any product. The routing of wires,

power connections and mounting locations should be planned rst. As with any car stereo installation, and all

work performed should be checked thoroughly and carefully prior to the operation of the system.

The placement of your Audiobahn speakers within your vehicle will greatly affect the overall performance of

your audio system. Every vehicle is different, so installation into particular locations of the vehicle may not be

possible without modications. 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 at,

sturdy mounting surface.

Audiobahn’s Murdered Out AMC series speakers are designed to t into almost any factory location. Again, if

at all possible it is recommended that you use a factory location. This applies mostly to later model vehicles.

For those earlier models that do not have factory locations or are limited to front locations, it is recommended

that you choose an area with sufcient airspace.

If you allow an insufcient 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 an enclosed airspace allowing for extended bass response.

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 amplier as well as

the speakers themselves. Make sure all speaker wires are placed easily within reach of the speaker terminal

with no stress on the wire connectors.

1. Conrm the mounting location and depth requirements by inspecting the area where the speaker will be

mounted. Most speakers will t into stock locations on the vehicle. In this case only depth consideration

is important.

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. Be careful when cutting out the template. If you

cut the template properly, the speaker will be a perfect t.

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. Conrm the cut by placing the speaker in the hole. You may need to modify the

hole cut as necessary.

4. If it is necessary to cut steel, reinstall the cosmetic panel in place and use the hole you have previ-

ously cut as a template. This will help to insure proper cutting and a good t. Mark the locations for the

speaker mounting screws. Then remove the panel and drill the screw holes. When nished you can

replace the panel.

5. After cutting and drilling all holes, inspect the mounting areas for any metal burrs or rough edges. File

any area that may interfere with the mounting of the speaker.

6. Clean any metal shavings from the mounting area and check for areas in which water may enter the

speaker cavity. Treat the area for water protection when necessary.

Make sure your source unit (Cassette, CD, DAT, DVD etc.) is turned off while connecting the speaker termi-

nals. Turn on the various components and slowly advance the volume. Remember to check and recheck all

connections to insure you have a secure tting.
