To install the Hifonics ZS65C component speakers in your car, follow these step-by-step instructions:
1. Before you start, confirm that you have purchased the correct size speakers to fit your vehicle. If you are unsure or have any reservations about completing the installation yourself, it is recommended to contact a professional audio installer.
2. Factory Speaker Removal:
- Access and remove factory door speakers: Most modern vehicles have speakers mounted directly to the structure of the door. Access is achieved by removing the door panel. Some vehicles may only require the removal of a small panel around the speaker itself.
- Access and remove rear factory speakers: Most rear speakers are accessed from within the trunk. Some may require the removal of the rear package tray. Hatchbacks and SUVs will usually require the removal of a side panel.
3. Fit and Wiring:
- Once the factory speakers are removed, check the fit and determine if there is enough depth clearance for the new speaker. Roll the window down and back up while holding the speaker in place to ensure proper fit.
- If you decide to run wires, make sure to use factory harness boots and grommets wherever possible. Avoid letting the speaker wire make contact with metal edges of doors or other access holes.
4. Component Installation:
- Factory location behind door panel: If your vehicle has a premium sound system with separate tweeters in a dash or door location, try to use this location for mounting the component tweeter.
- Custom location: If there is no suitable factory location for mounting the woofer or tweeter, custom mounting may be necessary. Before making any permanent changes to your vehicle, ensure there is adequate mounting depth.
- Tweeter mounting: The tweeter can be mounted in two primary ways - surface and flush mounting. The manual provides instructions for flush mount configuration.
- Crossover wiring: The crossover is necessary for the proper operation of the component speaker system. Secure the crossover to a surface that is free of interference from window mechanisms and excessive moisture.
Please note that these instructions are a summary and it is important to refer to the complete instruction manual provided by Hifonics for detailed information on system settings, speaker and subwoofer configuration, and full specifications specific to the ZS65C component speakers.
