User manual BOSTON ACOUSTICS RM9 INSTALLATION

[. . . ] Never use force when installing any speaker. Check clearances on both sides of a mounting surface before drilling any holes or installing any screws. Some screws require over an inch of clearance behind the mounting surface. Use a utility knife to cut fabric away from hole locations before you drill or cut. [. . . ] Although they are packaged in stereo, matched pairs, either speaker may be mounted on either side of the vehicle. 9 Installing Speakers In Nonstandard Locations ­ RM6 Notice Check the clearance of both speaker locations. (There may be multiple window controls on the driver's side, for example. ) If installing in the doors, remove the interior panel. Avoid possible speaker contact with door frames, handles and window tracks. Check the window clearance by rolling the window up and down. Also check for clearance with the door open and closed. If installing in the trunk, check for clearance with the trunk lid opened and closed. The Boston Rally Series speakers are heavy, and must be held in place by a strong, rigid structure. Check for signs of excessive water leakage inside the door. If the door has a plastic moisture barrier, cut a flap to shield the speakers, or make a flap from heavy sheet plastic and attach it to the inside of the door above the speaker. 10 1. Trace the template onto the mounting panel. Mark the pilot hole, the edges of the large cutout and the locations of the screws. Make sure that the mounting surface provides a complete air seal between the front and the back of the speaker. If the surface is uneven, or if air can leak directly from the back of the speaker to the front, seal the air leaks with silicon sealant or weather stripping. Make sure that the sealing material does not touch any moving part of the speaker. 11 3. Drill the pilot hole at the center of the cutout, then drill four 1/8" holes for the speaker's mounting screws. Make the large circular cutout with a saber saw, hole saw or nibbler (depending on the material). Slip "U"-clips over the screw holes. Position the flat side toward the speaker as shown in the diagram. Attach the assembly to the cutout as shown in the diagram. Use four of the supplied #8 x 1" sheet metal screws or other hardware. Tighten the screws just enough to seal the woofer against the mounting surface. Snap the grille on to the speaker assembly from the front.
