How to Install Car Speakers

If a great-sounding audio system is important to you, it's likely that you won't be satisfied with the factory speakers that came with your car. Upgrading the speakers can be a fairly easy task. Instructions Difficulty: Moderately Easy Steps 1 Step One Read the instructions that came with the speakers. 2 Step Two Carefully use the door panel popper to remove the door panel. 3 Step Three Remove the old speaker from the door. 4 Step Four Heat the Dynamat or Accumat with a heat gun or hair dryer, or leave it out in the sun to heat. 5 Step Five Spray glue on the metal surface of the door. 6 Step Six Peel the back off of the Dynamat or Accumat, and using the heat gun or hair dryer, heat the material as you apply it to the metal surface. 7 Step Seven Use a roller to press the material onto the metal so that it bonds with the surface. 8 Step Eight Drop the speaker into the speaker cavity and screw it securely through the Dynamat or Accumat to the metal of the door. 9 Step Nine Plug the positive wire into the positive opening on the back of the speaker, and plug the negative wire into the negative opening on the back of the speaker. 10 Step Ten Plug the other ends of the positive and negative wires into the corresponding inputs on the back of the radio. 11 Step Eleven Remove the factory grilles on the rear deck and take out the old speakers. 12 Step Twelve Drop the new speakers into the openings and wire as you did the door speakers. 13 Step Thirteen Cover all exposed wires with black electrical tape. 14 Step Fourteen Replace the grilles over the speakers in the rear deck. 15 Step Fifteen Replace the door panels on the doors. Tips & Warnings Each speaker will have two wires - a positive and a negative. One wire will probably have a stripe on it. You can make this wire either the negative or positive, but whatever you use it for, be certain that you stay consistent with all the speakers. Avoid running speaker wires where panels and screws can cut into them. Short screws may not secure speakers properly. Use longer screws to be certain that speakers are secured to the door.
