| SPEAKERS - I had speakers already but you may need to order some. Models would depend on your install location. |
| ANTENNA ( I already had one ) |
| WIRE - I went to the local auto shop and bought a trailer wiring kit. These wires are big enough to handle the load. They are designed to be exposed to the weather and are oil resistant (coated ). They are joined together (group of 4 ) and are flat which make it easier to run thru tight spaces. |
| WIRE TIES |
| WIRE CONNECTORS ( For battery posts and connection of wires together if not soldered ) |
| WIRE CONNECTOR TOOL |
| ELECTRICAL TAPE |
| THESE WERE SPECIFIC TO MY SPEAKER INSTALL YOURS MAY DIFFER ( To mount my speakers I used 2- Radio Shack Project Enclosures (270-1802), 2 Radio Shack 3.5mm (1/8in) Phone Jacks (274-249), Mounting Tape, 2 hose clamps and 2 3.5mm (1/8in) Phone Plugs (already had, don't know part number) |

| 1. Open Seat and remove mat and tool kit ( Picture RI04 ) 2. Remove Universal Underdash Mounting piece from the box. 3. Find a location to mount the box (DO NOT MOUNT IT YET) The rear of the box maybe cut off if you so desire BUT remember if you remove it stuff bouncing around in the trunk may hit wires and etc. ( Picture RI05 ) 4. Since you are using a DIN radio you can cut the post holders out. 5. Remove radio from box. 6. Find square DIN mounting bracket and mount it in the hole in the mounting box 7. Now mount the box in your desired location. I would suggest making a small hole to make it easier to screw in the screws. Be careful with the drill ( Don't go too deep or drill where there is something on the other side of the plastic to hit ) ( Picture RI06 ) 8. Run your speaker wires to your desired location and mount speakers. Attach wires |
| Run speaker wire ( Picture RI07 ) |
| My speakers are inside pouches with velcro staps on them |
| Project boxes were used to mount the speakers Slots were cut into each side for mounting ( Picture RI08 ) |
| One side for velcro strap to go thru and the other for a hose clamp to hold it to the mirror stem. |
| Double sided tape holds the project box to the brake fluid holder |
| Wires run to the box then connected to Phone jacks ( could be hardwired but this allows removal ) ( Picture RI09 ) |
| 9. Mount box ( Picture RI10 ) ( Picture RI11 ) ( Picture RI12 ) 10. Run your power wires ( One to Battery + One to Battery - and one to a source that comes on when the key comes on ) There is a fuse box left of the battery that makes for an easy tie in. ( Picture RI13 ) ( Picture RI14 ) 11. Install Antenna ( your type and location may vary ) ( Picture RI15 ) ( Picture RI16 ) ( Picture RI17 ) 12. Mount remote and run wire ( Picture RI19, RI20 ) 13. Hook wires to back of radio and install in box. (Picture RI18) 14. TEST 15. You are Done |
| INSTRUCTIONS: |
| This is how my speakers were installed. I got them on eBay. I don't have any more of them. Other known mounting locations are in face of glovebox, surface mount speakers on dash or on running boards. |
